"I'm too lazy to boot up Risk until my FFA tourney game"

[sinful sparrow]

which one? I can remake 😄

I'm not adding a skill issue option, I'm sorry

[red storm]

😂

[teal urchin]

i dont think decay is nessecary but if there is gonna be decay then i do think its too strong

[sinful sparrow]

Please Note

We'll be reviewing feedback and can expect changes over the week 🙏

Definitely need more time back. Less than 10% of your time back on PC is pretty pointless

[silver folio]

Decay is just not needed at all, rn you can barely notice a difference by playing on PC, like you're playing a normal game with a timer almost, Mobile a bit better, but still pretty bad. Decay simply shouldn't be here at all, make it 1 sec for PC players gain, like 1,5 sec for Mobile, no decay and most of the people will be happy

I strongly dislike anything that has to do with decay at all

[flint spoke]

Strongly agree with this. I feel like decay defeats the entire purpose of an active turn timers. This is supposed to allow you to attack as much as you need to. And that’s not what is happening

[silver folio]

Exactly

Like if SMG's purpose with this is to allow players to actually think as much as they possibly can and not be restricted by the speed of their execution after thinking, then this totally ruins that purpose already, because you're still restricting them to attack as much as they possibly can with the decay

If there's no decay, games will actually be strategic and will not end from the speed handicap most of the tiime

[sterile frigate]

+1s for PC and +1.5 for Mobile is exactly what I suggested in the SMG communication, exactly as Xerokee is suggesting. Shows that we are thinking of a number that makes sense 🙂

Is the only way we can test these timer options in friends games?

[sinful sparrow]

They should both be available in casual private (the shorter turn timer and the timer type)

[hollow plover]

Will they release in casual public for open beta before they roll out in ranked? That is where I’d probably play test them the most.

I can’t imagine I’m gonna host and share a code to play the dozens of 30 second dynamic turn timer classic fixed games I’d have to play before I’d have developed an informed opinion 😂

Very pleased about dynamic turn timer options being added just haven’t gotten to test them yet.

[sinful sparrow]

I'm not 100% sure, it'll probably help to see how it goes in tournaments should any use them

[red storm]

wait not even Pass&Play?

[sinful sparrow]

I'm not sure for P&P

[flint spoke]

It’s currently (and has been) available for casual public. It’s been quite interesting watching new players try to do their turns in 30 seconds

[hollow plover]

No I don’t think dynamic 30 second timer is. You mean regular 30 second which I don’t think I really need to test to learn how it works 😂

[flint spoke]

You would be incorrect. Dynamic 30s timers are indeed available for casual public. I have been playing it (and I just double checked to be sure I wasn't crazy)

[hollow plover]

Casual public. No option to switch to Dynamic turn timer. 👍 photo from seconds ago.
Perhaps there is a discrepancy between PC and mobile releases of the update.

Here’s what same screen looks like in casual private.

[sinful sparrow]

I'm not seeing any lobbies in Casual Public with dynamic turn timer, could someone get an SS of it if they see one?
Or a short clip of Casual Public -> Create Game -> Modifiers -> Turn Timer being able to be changed? (Cc @flint spoke )

I had a look through 30 casual public lobbies // couldn't see any for reference

Couldn't share any media in this channel so I posted there

[silver folio]

That is so weird, I don't have that

Same options as you do

Device specific bug?

[flint spoke]

Hmmm. Now that’s a weird one. Maybe I am literally the only one

[silver folio]

Yea no clue

You're the first one I see that

Which is why it could be
