GAME TIMER.

Postby Fangfallen » Sat Feb 02, 2013 7:22 am

I think it would be a good idea to implement a game timer.

The timer would be in upper left side of the screen and would begin counting as soon as the game starts, this way you can see how long the game has been running. Directly underneath the game timer would be a personal timer. It begins counting as soon as your turn starts and ends as soon as your turn ends.
Every time it is your turn the timer starts again and adds to your total time played. At the end of the game "or when you've been killed" the Information screen that pops up and tells you how much xp,shards,and ranking you have earned (or lost) {well not the shards} will also tell you the percentage of the game time that you used up. If you used up say 12% of the game time you could get +5% of the xp that you have earned, if you used up 13% you would get +4% and if you used up 14% you would get +3% and it would continue until you have used up 17% of the game time and you get +0% xp. It would not carry on to the -%s however.

I know that the system described above is not perfect but with some tweaking it would be pretty cool. above all else i would like just the game timer in the upper left corner.

Thoughts?
Admonishments?
Stupid Insults?

Feel free.

I do not want a game timer. Despite the fact that I probably spend over 2 hours a day on Vortex Wars (more on weekends) - without a timer I know it is not more than 20 minutes total. Please don't have me face the truth.

"Plausible deniability" - I like having that.

It will just make people do their turns, and wait for the timer to run out. Don't forget the timer resets when you attack.
