    Default Time for Quick Battle too Short (20min) : Extend the time Allowed (40min+) Discuss

    Hey, I do a lot of 2v2 Quick Battles with my pal and there is often 10-15 minutes of set-up, manoeuvring and skirmishing. Then leading into the main battle, often the 20 minute timer runs out during the melee or (most annoyingly) after the battle is basically won and you're just mopping up the last few skirmishing units - automatically making it a draw.
    I've spoken to a couple of other people who also think 20 minutes is a bit too short a time for these battles.Perhaps in a 1v1 20 minutes is acceptable but I propose extending the time allowed for 2v2's to 40 minutes. Thoughts?


    Edit: the poll is still for 2v2's, but 3v3's and 4v4's should probably be changed to 60 minutes.
    To clarify, this is about "Quick Match", not the custom hosted "Multiplayer Battles", where you can set the timer.

    I thought you could turn the timer off? Or is that just Singleplayer? I haven't messed around with MP too much, just a few matches with friends.

    I haven't done any multiplayer, but WTF CA? How hard is it to give your customers options? Especially with something as simply as a battle timer....
