    PvP 2-minute 'prep' Time Sink

    First 30 seconds of PvP prep time:



    Last minute-and-a-half of PvP prep time:



    So.. the 2 minute timer before matches needs to go. It just serves as a massive* "sit and twiddle our thumbs" time sink. 30-40 seconds is more than sufficient.

    I haven't hit the higher PvP ranks yet, but just for rank 9 it takes 360 exp, with 30 exp per win. So.. that comes down to 13 matches, which mean's I've got to spend a cumulative 20 minutes sitting, just 'cuz. Assuming exp keeps scaling, if the 10-and-20-ranks start to require in the range of 30 or more matches, we're starting to talk about literally hours spent doing nothing, waiting for a lobby to time out.

    "Please look forward to it!"

    Now, go, discuss!




    *Yes, ofc, that extra 80-second wait in-and-of-itself isn't bad, but considering the hundreds, if not thousands, of matches that will be needed to get the gear (and, for those more enlightened among us, that will simply be played to enjoy the actual game), 80 seconds quickly turns into hours of literally just sitting.
