that's how games work, it just so happens that there are a majority of players on at a certain time because that's their timezone. it's not unfair. perhaps you see it as unfair since you are effected by this, but if you really, really wanted to play in a tournament server you would join when the majority of players are on. if you can't manage that then it's uncool but that's how life works.
but really, you're only thinking about yourself when you say "the tournaments are unfair because people are not on when i am usually on"
The initial plan was that waiting times were way longer than this.
Once some server changes and fixes are made, knockout intervals will be longer. Otherwise we'll be creating more than a million TC daily.
How about we don't make players wait 20 min to fight :3.... Can that be a thing?
This issue has been addressed already. If we were to decrease the time interval, we could potentially cause an influx in the tori economy. 25 minutes is not a long wait for a 12k tc prize. If you are going by tc exchange rate, each tourney you win, you are effectively gaining 1$.
So far the servers have been recieveing great feedback from 10k qi players. It seems that a majority of the people complaining about the interval times are lower qi players.
Also, Masterfate, you are not even able to participate in the 12k tourney, why are you talking about the wait time for it?
Also, this is still a new addition to the game. Stuff could change at any point, and we are always looking for news ways to update the game, so long as it does not cause more problems than it solves. Due to the amount of tc being put out, the intervals for the servers seems rather fair.
This update not only helps the newer players, but it also helps the vet players. The vets now have a room where only they can hang out, make a fair amount of tc, and have fun. In the past two days, I have seen a fair amount of high qi players tell me that the only reason they are going to continue to play is due to the new servers. Is that not what we wanted to accomplish with this thread? This does not create an incentive to play, but it is making the game more fun for the vet players, and it helps out all the other players aswell.
This thread, along with many others is helping us work towards our goal of making the game more entertaining and fun for everyone. I still support hax's ideas, but I am taking a different approach on them.
