20 Minute games are too short!

[TheRandomMan1000]

I've been on vacation recently and arrived to a new 20 minute game patch. In the past I've seen many threads complaining about the game length being to long. I never realizeed the effect it would have on the games til' now. I understand that an hour is to long for some people, but 20 minutes? I've found that the average game (Pre 20 minute patch) Takes about 25 - 40 minutes. A deathmatch is honestly too chaotic with 5+ people still alive. Although in some cases it evens things out, gives everyone just enough time to get a sword and a small amount of armor, it takes the aspect of long term planning away. I've always seen the games in 4 periods of play: Base period - Find a basic weapon, a food source and other misc. items that can aid you over the entire game. Building period - Find the items to particularly aid you in pvp, such as flint and steel, and ingots to make weapons. Conquest period - Gather items and move rapidly throug the map,lose your inital route of chests and go rouge. Endgame period - At this point the game is all but over, a winner is just about decided and now is the time to hunt down the final tributes to find the true victor. My point is, these games are meant to be played long term, 20 minute games do not give you time to determine any positions in the game, who are the careers, who camps where, and who has the initive to win the game.

Just my opinion, a solid 45 minute game would be good enough. It would give a solid amount of time for the games to pick up and for positons to be set. It would be short enough to stop the final 20 minutes of the game being stalled by people moving in opposite directions.

Absolutely, couldn't agree more. 45 minutes actually is the amount of time the average human can concentrate on a specific given activity without taking breaks.

 

[Valethar]

People don't like waiting around for 45 minutes.
It's thinking about the majority here, guys. The spectators.

I wouldn't mind if would go back to the 60 minutes.

First people complain about 60min then when it changes people complain that they change it
Anyway i feel like the 20 minute games are fun and exciting. the 20minute game style skips the incredibly boring end game side of it and puts you in an arena to fight to the death. I Like the 20 min games and if you dont just go play 48 slot servers those are 40min games and if thats how long a game you want you should just play that

Let's get the facts right, the only people who complained were the ones that died first. >.>
The people who complain now are total different players.
Why are people in such a hurry al the time? In my pov the games can last 2 hours with a much greater map. >.>

Some People don't want to spend 2 hours on a match and hardly have time for 1 hour of game play i would prefer playing 3 matches instead of 1-2 if i had only 1 hour to play

Honestly, I don't know why people insist on being tributes 24/7. I enjoy watching the games play out as a spectator. And, to be wholly honest, 20 minutes games aren't fun to spectate. There's barely even enough time to decide who you put your figurative money on.

Besides, if you don't like to wait through 60 minute games, why not just find a different server that's in lobby?

I totally agree with you.

 

[Brettaka]

I totally agree with you.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who believes what we do on the subject.

1 hour games would be good because most of the time when someone dies they just get on a diffrent server. (Or atleast from what i have seen) It would make it alot more fun as well

20 Minutes is fine i could get a full iron armor and a diamond sword in 10 minutes
