Time limit

[ZombieCommand]

The time limit in this game is messed up.

I've played dozens of IRL and digital card games and I've NEVER consistently timed out the way I do in this game.

I was just playing a Tyranid deck and dropped my reducers into a Swarm/Tide heavy hand and by the time I watched them all go through their animation I could only get half of them out of my hand.

I'll admit this would have been a long turn, but not through my own fault, I was dropping cards as fast it let me.

The fact that I've timed out 3 or 4 times before this when just playing out my cards as Ultramarines and Chaos though suggests that the time limit is nowhere near long enough. If I'm doing something, extend the timer. If I'm doing nothing, then fair enough to end it.

And not only which the countdown is nowhere near intrusive enough. Give me a rope or something to indicate my time is counting down, and possibly even a 'more time' button for tricky/longer turns.

I f*cking hate the timer! I need an audio key to tell me i have few seconds left. The current timer is way to early before the end. and even worse: In my last game i timed out and after that the time i got to make my turn was incredibly short (felt like 5 seconds) WITHOUT ANY AUDIO Key that time runs out. No need to say i lost the game by not playing cards 2 turns in a row.

The timer has to exist, it's balance to actions is just way off and it's so unobtrusive you feel like your turn just ends with no warning.

I don't think I ever timed out once playing HH Legions and why not give players a bank of time like MtGA that they can dip into for long turns.

There isn't a perfect solution, but start by pausing the timer for animation, then consider adding a second or two per action taken.

I'm not going to the end of my timer more than once in a match, but I am getting to the end of my timer in more than one match, just by playing the game. I've only timed out maybe 3-4 times in however many games I've played, but each time I was effectively in the middle of my turn and it cost me the game.

I will straight-up guarantee that my APM in the game are massively above average and I'm also actively thinking about my turn on my opponents turn.

'Roping' or people who take too long to do anything I also find annoying, but that's not what I'm talking about. I believe there was no timer at one point during the beta and people would just AFK to make you quit out, so I understand the need for the timer. I'm just saying the balance is off and animations need to not count against your time and/or the time needs to extend if you're still performing actions.
