Summer season, 2 weeks, 12 hour showdowns | Forums

[curiousgrge]

Yeah, its nothing to get excited about. Its funny how people will sometimes complain about the 24 hour matches, but at least you could start those whenever you felt like it (and were awake); a 12 hour game cant be started in 16 out of the 24 hours (assuming 8 hours of sleep)

Being focused more on other aspects at the moment, the Bunker really isnt going to draw me in other than for a casual game or two.

How about they extend the season length to 3 weeks that would give the more casual players more time to achieve legends? Or allow 6 free showdowns per 24hr period. Perhaps to deter the simultaneous 40+ showdowns to achieve instant legends, make it so each additional showdown cost more tickets with an upper ceiling.

Well, I dont mind a 2 week season; thats enough time to reach Legends and still be casual.. at least to me. I'd even say that with Blitz-style showdowns. (I despise 1-week)

What doesnt impress me about the 12 hours is how its limiting my times to start matches. I used to be able to play 24hr or blitz matches at 8-9AM, 11am-12:30, 5PM-7PM, and 11-PM-Midnite. Now..... I cant do 5PM-7PM (they end in sleep-time), and the end of 8-9AM matches conflict with family time. . . .

I got the same idea about each addtionnal showdown cost more tickets. It'll limit the 40+ showdowns to archieve instant legends. I see people to spend whole 25 days to loose to go down in ranking and perform instant legends with 40+ showdowns vs low skilled players. Where is the fair play / fun into this ?
12h period is fine for me. 24h is a quite long when you feel no chance against good players than waiting time to end. Maybe an option to forfeit the showdown so we can move on another opponent.

I like the idea of forfeiting a match too. Especially if you have a cheater although it may just encourage cheaters to cheat as it will allow them to win matches faster. Maybe have a report cheater within that option. RL should also flag the cheaters so if they participate in showdowns, it will automatically have their rank go the opposite direction regardless of outcome.

Regarding the people intentionally go down in rankings, if they make it so once they achieve a rank, you're stuck there and can only move up, this would discourage that type of behavior. They can still lose stars but only to that ranking up to zero stars. This in effect would have more legends or they can fix this by making legends available only to people that finish the task within a certain amount of days at RL's discretion.

To me the only positive thing achieving legends does is to help others achieve it too. Otherwise, I'm just shooting for rank 4 to get an extra Donkey piece and I'm done. I guess people are still playing to get more chips to get all the maps and possibly for Donkey donuts.
