They should also fix the mulligan glitch. (The last card that gets put back into the deck is the first card you draw after mulling)
Changing it to 90 seconds helps, but its still not perfect. If the person disconnects, then comes back, then leaves again, it apparently just keeps on counting time. The person I am playing against while I type this did exactly this. Does that clock in the corner eventually hit zero? It already went around once, and gave them another 15 minutes.
EDIT: Just went around again, and gave them another 20 minutes. Are these games even timed?
EDIT-2: It game them another-another 20 minutes. There is no way these games are really timed.
The majority of my losses are from timing out. Because of the lag issues, it's pretty much impossible not to hit the 20 minute mark. Everytime I hit 20 minutes, it automatically concedes the game for me, even when I am well ahead on prizes, or pokemon sent to the lost zone and am about to win the game.
I guess you guys are lucky that the timer just goes around again.
Though lag issues do create a need for more than 20 minutes per person per game, there should be some time limit or inactivity limit. If you take over 20 minutes to pick two energies from the discard pile with an Energy Retrieval, you deserve to lose the game, if only so that there is a winner, and both players can move on.
I thought of something else. Does the search through public trade offers work for anyone else? Im trying to obtain a Gengar Prime, and surely there must be someone offering one somewhere.
Yeah, I think a minute of inactivity should at the very least be a pass, maybe a prize penalty.
In reality, they just need to figure out how they can fix the game so it doesn't lag.
I hope that they have some kind of 3DS Virtual Download or Cartridge game planned for this too, as I assume lag would become a non-issue in that format.
Still waiting for the touranments to start up again =)
It's a shame how many people try to scam, too. The public offers are spammed with "FREE THIS," "Do not need," "Free card u can have," "this card stinks," "i quit, u have," etc.
