Variable maximum break (and allowed inactivity) time

[lothistvan 7]

Tankers,

 

The allowed maximum time is 5 minutes in every bottle. I think it's too much in a 15 min battle and sometimes it's too short in a longest battle.

 

My suggestion is that this time depends on the length of the battle. Approximately 10% of total battle length could better than standard break time. It means you have 1.5 minutes if you play a 15 minutes length battle but you have 6 minutes in a 1 hour length battle to take a coffe or talk with somebody on phone.

Istvan

 

Edit:

The problem with the original idea is that there are unlimited time battles (ends after n kills/captures). The modified suggestion is (based on the above discussion):

Players can "collect" break time during the game. After every 10 minutes activity they will get 1 minute break time. It means after 30 minutes continous play they can leave computer for maximum 3 minutes. If they take a 2 minutes break 1 minute remains for the further break(s). The avaialable break time should displayed during the game. The count down should start after 10 seconds inactivity. The break time calculation should based on seconds (the counter increases in every active 10 seconds with 1 second). The initial value of the counter shold be 10 seconds (or less). It means in the beginning of the battle after 20 seconds inactivity the player will be removed (if the count down starts after 10 seconds and initail break time is 10 second)

I think this would help tanki and help remove mults. Just give 6 minutes and after that you cant pause

The truth is that i thought to decrease the current 5 to 1.5 minutes only and I didn't thought to any other change in the break/pause system but your idea is not bad.

Well, good idea

But what about the pro battles with no time limit...

Like just 999kills TDM...infinite time there?

But the timer ticks those 5 minutes when u have stopped, and not pressing any buttons, so, as u stop your tank the timer gets shorter

Okay, this could be a good idea, depending on how it is gone about.

Totally agree.

If you combine my and trivy_super's idea the solution should be better: the total allowed inactive time limited to n% of the total length of the battle. It's your choise how to use it: in a 5 hours length battle you can leave the battle only one time for 30 minutes OR you can take more smaller breaks. In a short battle the total allowed break is less.

With the current break system it is possible to take 30 minutes (or long) break if you move the tank after every 4 minutes and 50 seconds. In the suggested method it isn't possible.

Good questions. I don't know the answer.

what about a 999 mins/flags/CP battle?

TBD.

There are several ways. For example: You can "collect" break time during the game. After every 10 minutes play you'll get 1 minute break time. It means that after 30 minutes continous play you can leave computer for maximum 3 minutes. If you take a 2 minutes break 1 minute remains for the further break(s).

Pee before you join and drink coffe between two battles - if we speak about 15 minutes length battle. Don't mult 5 minutes in a short game - it's 30% of the total length.
