Faster Game Speed?

Post by jordansamuels »

What do people think about a faster speed option? I find that even on the fastest setting ("Fast"), less expert players who play slow can cause the game to be very frustrating and take more than 20 minutes. This is because they get a significant time bonus every time they play. I only play two-player because multi-player is even worse ... I find myself watching YouTube or doing laundry while waiting an eternity for my turn.

I'd also be okay with a setting where only players with auto-confirm set can be matched. I find that most players don't use this, so it adds a significant latency to playing with them. Most experts (300+ ELO) always use this, but surprisingly not always.

Most fast players can make almost all decisions in < 10 seconds.

What to folks think?

i agree, my post was for the exact same thing but i can see how titling it "Time" is not helpful haha but yes agree wholeheartedly. I'm trying to figure out how to contribute to this game as a developer to make it happen

The game speed modes are not a game-by-game implementation. This has to be done at the site-wide framework level.
