Turn length?

[jarik]

What options there are for turn length in BB3? I don't think it has been real issue before but this time really noticed that I had trouble with time, ran out of that extra time buffer on first half. And after that always had 3+ players that didn't have time to move, or had to do some quick moves as no time for thought out moves but not moving at all is even worse

I would prefer that for next season if it is possible time amount is increased. I trust that everyone tries their best and doesn't play jerk like remember some random matches going

Default option is 2 mn per turn and the extra 7'30 for the whole game.

Default option is 2 mn per turn and the extra 7'30 for the whole game.

well I believe question of Jarik is if it could be increased (at least tthe time bank ?)

So that is 2,5 min per turn if divided equally, and not counting anything for any drive starts etc. I think in BB2 we had 4 min turns

I don't think I have had issue before previous match, and not sure why it was so obvious this time. I anyway set my defences with instinct so don't even spend time counting distances (but probably should start doing so )

Surely it is because I just don't have the routine, but as I just refuse to play any random games I don't think I will anymore play so much that would get it

Following options are available when creating a new competition :

• Competitive mode (Default in BB3) : 2mn turns and extra 7'30 for the whole game

• Strict mode : 1mn turns

• Strict mode :2mn turns

• Strict mode :3mn turns

• Strict mode :4mn turns (default in BB1 and BB2, I think)

• Unlimited time

I have used the new default value. But I can also create a poll for next season to ask wther people want to go back to strict modes (3 or 4 minutes) or go on with cometitive mode.

I personally find the competitive time by far best of the current options.

First is that for the 30 second timer you get on opponent's turn, there is no time bank in other options, so if you run out of that, then it will automatically select dodge skills etc. for the whole turn if you have made them optional in settings.

Second is that 4 minutes can be bit tight on some critical turns, and as the timer doesn't stop during actions like it did in BB2, so if you notice too late that the timer is almost over and only then start moving, it might mean missing critical actions as you have no bank you can use. At least when it is starting to use bank, you know that you should really start moving and stop thinking.

At least for me, 2 minutes is just fine on most turns, but on some turns I like the option of having like 6 or 7 minutes to really consider the critical turn.

Of course best option would be 3 minutes or 4 minutes turn + time bank. But without that option I think having time bank is more important.
