PLEASE, Extend the DeathMatch time.

[inconceivable81]

5 Minutes sounds nice, there really was no reason to lower the time. The lightning radius should have been enough.

i agree

The frustrating time when there is a team of 2 in DM to kill and it takes time to formulate a plan to kill them, but when you try to turn around and flint and steel them, you are murdered by lightning. I'm not suggesting to go completely overboard with extending the DM time, but at least give us 5 minutes! Its really annoying when you are teaming with people and it takes time to do appropriate 1V1's. Especially with the new additions in MCSG v2, I find it more imperative to change the time from 3 minutes, back to 5. Yes, i understand that sometimes it is annoying when people round around for ever, but 5 minutes isn't going to kill you, especially when lightning is killing them.

With the current amount of time, I have been probably robbed of about 4% of my wins, which is a considerable amount. I really would like it if they raised the limit to 4 minutes at the very least, as it is more flexible, and prevents consistant runners.

By the way, a little bit of a trick to stop runners is to consistently hit them with a fishing rod to:

1. Disorient them
2. Possibly pin them against a wall

Dis is basically my PVP strategy

So you're saying change it to 30 seconds?

Subv3rsion is trolling again. Heh.

Honestly, I don't think lightning is fun, especially not being able to see the border you are required to fight within. The sand arena was amazing but laggy, having that above the void without the huge fancy arena may make Deathmatches more fun and fair, as you could have the time you need as well as the strategy you want. It also adds a visible fighting arena border, which also shrinks :\

I wouldn't mind moving it back up to 4-5 minutes, but I'm pretty sure the reason they reduced it was so that teams would have to fight straight off instead of trying to have a fair 1v1. Normally I have no problem with that, but I think it works well if that's the intention.
