Multiplayer Turn Timer
So in my current ranked game, the timer ran out on my opponent's turn and rather than autoskipping it or something else you would expect, it is now at negative forty minutes and counting. What exactly is the timer for?

Re: Multiplayer Turn Timer
I asked the same question on the Steam forum - I didn't get an explanation of why it's there, but they did say that it's not currently behaving as intended.

Re: Multiplayer Turn Timer
Do you mean you were awarded a win without actually finishing the game up?

Re: Multiplayer Turn Timer
As I understand it, desired behavior is "when opponent's timer runs out, you get the victory." Auroch comment?

I think we need a clear definition of how all async/offline play works. We also need a clear understanding of what the expectation is (and what the time limits are) around AWOL players.

Re: Multiplayer Turn Timer
Or at least a chat function letting you warn opponents you're going to be AFK.
I left Bounder hanging for a bit while I picked burrs out of my boy's feet (he decided to go outside barefoot). |
