The time limit in NW_Official_NA1
« on: February 19, 2013, 06:55:12 am »
After playing many hours on US1 NA1, I feel like the 10 minute rounds tend to drag on. This leads me to suspect not only I but other people become bored as well after several 10 minute rounds and quite a few leave.   

Agree, or disagree, go ahead and vote and post your thoughts. This poll will end in 7 days, you can change your vote at anytime and see the results after you have voted.


I am going to vote for 7 minute rounds.  8 minute rounds are already in EU1 and they work pretty well in my experience.    By shortening the rounds, you keep the game moving at a decent track while still giving people the time to fight.

Should you need to talk to me regarding NA1 or or something regarding admining or the admins, PM me here on the forums and not on steam.  *

I used to try 7 minutes back when it was a private server. It tended to work well, although larger maps would end up with more draws and possibly extending the time a map was played.

Supporting 8 minute, and 7 would work if it was smaller. We simply can't afford 10 minute round when our teams are so large it takes all the time. Add some urgency to the game.

I have no problem with people voting whether they are active or inactive on the server.  More votes the better.


Vote for what you feel is best, whether that be leaving it as it is at 10 minutes, 9 for slightly shorter rounds,  putting it at 8 minutes like it is in EU1 which works very well (this would be my next vote after 7),  7 minute rounds to help get people to get a move on, or even 6 minutes for even faster rounds.

Well currently 10 minutes is winning so it looks like nothing will change.

No by majority, it means that more than half wanted less than 10 minutes, let's try 9 minutes.

Yea I gave the results to Deo.  I said what you said as well.  While 10 min did win, majority didn't want it.  Most people voted for 7 or 8 min.  but it's not up to me to decide.  I don't know what they are going to do, I never got an answer.
