Old Problem, Battlegrounds Combat Takes Too Long

This has been a problem forever, but lately it’s just getting ridiculous. Whether its Leapfrog Beasts, Pain Beasts, Pirate Deathrattle, Automaton Mechs, Undead Deathrattle, Trinket Quillboar and so on.

I have to disconnect 4-5 times per game in order to have regular turn timers during my buying phase.

This is especially a problem in Duos since there are 2 combats per turn. You can have 3-4 minute combats on laptop or mobile (2 minutes on a good PC), you literally HAVE to disconnect or you are guaranteed to have no time to buy or a completely skipped turn after.

Many times my teammates will opt to watch the combat and end up completely skipping their turn as a consequence, while I have already disconnected and finished my turn with 180 seconds left-- they are still sitting and watching the entire time only to get back with 10 seconds left and panic level their tavern because they have no time to do anything else.

YES. +1

This is an old problem and it is still relevant.

A lot of people ask to skip the in-game fight (without disconnecting of course) despite it being a handicap not to be able to watch the fight and adapt our minions.

hope you like spending money

I’m pretty sure it’s related to the historically persistent persistence of Blizzard to have art and aesthetics over strict technicals of gameplay. Namely they COULD have a “2 minutes later…” because the game is decided on the server; they COULD have short animations but they may look ugly; they could even just insta-show the results on choice of the player (because as I said the matches are decided on the server and that can happen in an instant).

But it looks ugly and not artistic enough and not pretty enough.

Don’t give them ideas!
I fear that they can read this

they already have the idea
muahahaha

The difference between PC and mobile is the fps it renders at (target). For mobile it’s 30fps and 60fps on PC. You can change this target in a config file and it can help.

But animations in this game are ridiculous all around. Never thought cosmetics in a game would ever interfere with core gameplay in any serious game… Then again this is not a serious game.

One reason Battlegrounds are insanely overrated. I want to actually play a game instead of watching a game play itself.

One reason Mercenaries is far, far superior. Mercenaries doesn’t have that problem.
