2 Minute wait time for The Wolves Den is too severe

[Noroi_Kisaragi]

So I see that the Wolves Den has a time limit before you can play. Once everyone's loaded, you have 2 whole minutes to prepare for the match. That's going to get tiring really quick when the matches themselves should only be 3 or 4 minutes, that means half the time you're in there is just waiting to play.

What's more, that in order to get the achievement "The Alpha Wolf", assuming you don't lose a single match, to get the 5000 wins you must spend a total of 10,000 minutes waiting to play. That's about 166 hours, or 6.9 days respectively, just waiting to get in the game.

This time limit should be lowered.

edit: I would be absolutely fine with a ready check with a hard limit of 2 minutes. If there is a ready check that results in the game starting sooner i'm fine with that. If both teams are ready to go we should not be forced to wait 2 minutes for no reason.

SE is probably thinking that parties will use the 2 minute window to discuss strategies, when in reality it'll just be time for people to go to the bathroom, grab a drink, or alt tab while waiting.

>.> should I even comment?

I assume that has to do with ps3 players having a longer time to load, although 2 minutes does seem a little overkill.

[Terius]

Well you decided to play on the toilet, that time is meant for you to go take a leak.

Edit - How could I be so silly, it's 'cos of the PS3 ofc, takes them that long to load anything.

[Arcaloid]

hmmm I think every human waste much more than that 2 min per match while we just doing nothing.
For PUD party 2 min is nothing because they need to type to discuss strategy and such.

What I'd do is a 2min ready check for both teams. If people aren't ready in 2 mins then you force the start of the fight.

Good thing you made this thread, something this broken needed to be discussed before it went live and caused major imbalance.

I'm in on the bathroom break theory.

I'm not going to go just in case the queue pops.

So when It pops I can finally get a drink and piss.

This strategy discussion might still happen. Depends on whether or not you can see the opposing team's make up in those 2 minutes. If you can, I could defiantly see those two minutes getting used for planning.
