Board Game Arena

Can you lower the default time for each turn in Arena mode?

It gets worst and worst this season. Most of high ranked players are starting to take 1, 2, 3 minutes between each of their turn and the games are getting really boring with all the down time.

Yeah it makes the games unbearable but the BGA staff is basically non-existent when it comes to fixing things like this. Hopefully a new website that has much better gameplay will come into existence.

If You do not like time setting, You may set different ones - it's not part of fixed settings. "Too long/short" is highly subjective - I like the default, for example.

With default settings that's actually not even possible more than once - You only regain about 30 seconds per move. So yes, player may take 2 or even 3 minutes to think ONCE, but then has to really expedite .

They are complaining about Arena. Arena time controls are fixed.

I have just checked, and I CAN change my speed preferences in arena mode. Specifically I can set fast mode as a acceptable, and slower timings as lower preference or completely disabled.
