continuous matches

(sunnyboy276) #1

i think maybe there should be continuous matches because to wait on the other player to reply takes way to long.

       tell me why you agree or disagree and why.

in fact it would be a nice gamemod.
but not a good idea for the whole game.
sometimes turns are done within 20 seconds. but most of the time to get the best out of the turn you need 10-20 minutes. most people do NOT spend the time to do a “perfect” turn. for advanced players most public /random games are boring, me for example wins >90% of random games because people just do stupid turns.
a continuous game should only be availible for lvl 40 players (and even some other archievements) and should be like “blitzchess” - you got ~ 1-5 minutes to make your turn or it will be send automatically.

making it availible for everyone from the beginning would somehow strengthen the attitude of players that just send turns without thinking about it.

it is a major PRO of THIS strategy game that you do NOT need any skills reflexes, advanced knowledge. you can test the turn a million times before finally sending it. a fast version of it should (as mentioned) in my opinion only be available to advanced players as extra game mod.

not sure how this would work, time difference of all those around the world will be hard to be on the same time, unless some way to see your friends online for a quick 20 minute odd game listing they are active and able to send a chat if they want to do this.
I think the closest would be (think jerry-rigs suggested in a post awhile back) having a time limit to do the move when you log on or have no redo button

a time limit mode would be nice. Like chess clock or a fixed time.
Chess clock, ex 10min in total game (can be set from individual)
Fixed time, max 1 min / round (can be set individual)

The chess clock idea is nice
even a 30min time limit for “normal” games

The clock mode would be cool. Anyhow, the way a continuous would work is by searching for other people who are searching for a continuous match. Basically, it’d work like every other online game… Time zones would be a non-issue. It’s possible to do, but it would be kind of awkward. I don’t see it happening for the reasons tink so adeptly highlighted.
