so... 7 min battle very little possibility of coming back = stay?

12 min battle ... very real possibility of coming back after 1 cap = leave?

 

I think you are in the minority.  Most ppl don't leave a 12 min battle after 1 enemy cap.  If it's 3 or 4 to 0 ... the tha'ts another story.

And you are discounting completing many of the missions assigned.  The ONLY mission that depends on winning is the Top 3 mission. The rest, you can complete whether your team wins or loses.

Yeah, its only bad now because lame race mode is taking up at least half of the playerbase. So I won't count it.

The real test for me begins tonight after server restart.

Actually it doesn't , the player base between MM and Arms race is somewhat equally divided , just try playing more MM.

Nah, 2 hours a day (one hour per account) is enough to judge it. I ain't playing more than is necessary to complete all three daily missions.

Its a really silly concept for a battle mode. But the actual gameplay is bad, early birds truly win here.

U can make a comeback actually , ive tried many times when i joined the battle the top player would be at tier 6 or 7 already  but eventually as playing u are pretty much able to reduce to the difference to 1 tier or even take the lead . 

I also didn't like this mode very much for the time it takes to complete even 1 match and the amount of kills getting stolen is frustratin, but the concept in itself is quite fun and is worth tryin.

Yeah, i don't like 12 minutes now. Doesn't reward enough Crystals for how long you stay. I think 10 minutes is perfect.

Another suggestion is to have longer battles depending on map size.

On one hand the idea is interesting but on the other hand, many players (including myself) dislike big maps like Lost Temple, Berlin etc.. 

For sure. Such maps have 2 main disadvantages:
1. Half of the players in teams are afk due to low FPS or they leave when they see maps which have less capability of scoring points.
2. It leads to unbalanced teams with GS ranging from 4k to 9k in legend rank maps, disliked by players.

I thought they would do it for 1 minute - ha, ha, ha!

Nobody cares about the players' opinions)

Au contraire, they actually do, you just need to come up with a decent idea and share it with them.

Well that figures - we have half the player-base in MM now?

When does that other thing end?

"Starting from 2 AM UTC September 10, until 02 UTC September 13, the special «Arms race» mode is coming back! The unique event where you need to earn points while your equipment is continuously changing."  so till the next server restart. Only a few hours left.

Best idea should be that mm it will be 15 minutes or maybe 20 minutes with 40% chance of dropping gold box because actually 0,000...1% chance of dropping gold box

[Stylish 41]

Can we keep the MM battles 7 minutes? Any longer and it already feels long and boring. And absolutely don't increase the flag / kill limits on the maps, only makes it more boring.
Maybe it's an idea to make  2 separate queues?  One for  7 minute matchmaking battles and one for 12 to 20 minute battles?

I played a few 12-minute battles, so I feel entitled to give my opinion:

 

 Playing battles of this type, you are more willing to help your team, as the time is longer you can turn the score of a battle, for example.

 She just isn't very useful for doing quests. You end up getting tired very quickly and end up not even doing the missions (of course, if it's too difficult).

 A suggestion that can be applied, that several tankers said, is to increase the battle duration according to the map: the bigger the map, the shorter the battle, the smaller the map, the longer the battle.

Another thing I also thought was to increase the battle time only on weekends, because generally on these days most players play in the special modes available, without thinking much about the daily missions, while on weekdays people play more to do the missions and complete the challenges.

The 12m battle time should be gone too after start an challenge in firsts days, 12 minutes will take a lot of time to farm stars

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I would prefer 30 minute battle duration so that I can get at least a high score of 1000+ points and make good crystals in each battle. To be honest with you, juggernaut battles should last for 1 hour so that these battles can be much more competitive and more fun to play. I have checked the stats of the juggernaut tank and its armor is 20,000 HP. That is far too low. Previously, I used to be 40,000 HP. I would recommend, 100,000 HP for juggernauts armor, and a battle duration time of 1 hour so that juggernaut battles can be a whole lot of fun. In addition to that, juggernauts overdrive needs to be much stronger so that enemy tanks can be flipped into the air upon activation. That would make juggernaut battles a pleasure of laughter on the battlefield.

And to be fair, please do make all those updated changes I have mentioned above to make juggernaut battles more fun as well as maintaining a more appropriate time duration just like it used to be before the matchmaking system was invented. I used to play battles that lasted 1 hour during 2015 to 2017, so please return this length of time duration to juggernaut battles. I want to see all those positive changes made to battle duration after this experiment ends.

Anywhere from 10 to 12 minutes is really good. The super-long battles recently were a drag, and the 7 minute ones are clearly too short--you're just starting to come together as a team, and it's over.

I wouldn't call that a problem since you can also get stars from missions now.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Lets see what developers are going to do with battle time after this experimentation ends.

[Maf 32,300]

Gotta say I really prefer the 12 minutes over 7. Dare I say even that it's the perfect duration. 20 was definitely too long. 15 will be too long in certain modes, while 10 is too short for CTF and RGB. between 10 and 15 is the perfect amount, and I actually think that ASL, CTF and RGB should last 15 minutes, while TDM, TJR, SGE and CP should last 10.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

I agree , the 12 min battle mode allows for offense , defense as well as comeback . 15 or 20 are too long and it is quite borin in the same match

there is a _small problem

finish X matches will be longer especially if you were on a situation where most of your teammates leave

But then the game will likely just end earlier because the score cap will be reached.

Or, y'know, they'll hold the game hostage and keep farming you and your remaining teammates. Have had that happened to me many times with these increased battle times. I'm able to put up a fight but I can't say the same for a lot of my teammates. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The score cap will then need to be higher to prevent early battle termination.

[DMR 676]

https://prnt.sc/1sqrdpf sheesh you should make the battle even longer so people could have more fun especially me when I'm JGR

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@Yveltal9

I agree with you that matchmaking battle times must be longer so that players can have more fun in battles as well as being able to finish battles with a higher scoreboard. High scores can be achieved much better if developers decides to make matchmaking battles last at least 20 minutes. However, depending on the game modes players play, I would advise to adapt the battle duration time depending on each battle mode for greater comfort of gameplay and scoring.
