Testing new timer arcs

Geert I somewhat liked the idea u implemented yesterday (though the old was better) but what you did now is even worse. Its very annoying to constatly have the circles in front because you can't see where you are going with thin. But really, why was it necessary to change this in the first place? You are trying to change things that nobody every complained about, because they were fine. I understand you want to test features for CF3, but don't change a winning team. I see you asking the opinion of the public on the most useless things (where should we put the curveselector, as an example). Really? Can't you use the feedback of your players on more important things, things that are actually changing CF? For instance the fact that you now want to make holes with a standard interval, seems like a gamechanger to me. I for one, think that's a terrible idea. Isn't it way more usefull to know the public opinion on things like this? Because frankly, I don't think anyone gives a beep about where you put that curveselector.

Today is better than yesterday because its not that laggy and weird smooth.. but the old settings are best. So i'm for the old normal settings!

You can also try , always with the old timers , when for example you have 4-5 thin to gradually change the color of the timer -line rather than putting 4-5 circles . I said try because maybe it sucks.

It's still kinda disorientating with the new changes today, but I guess if we played for a long time with either, we'll get used to it. I still disagree with this one because it definitely gets in the way of vision.

Today its much better because no laggs. Just need to get used to the new cooldown :)

so everything u did last 3 months should be deleted and the data should be backed up coz all of the changes suck.

OK FAIL! it still laggs like yesterday. Snake feel really heavy to control. Nice ideas tho :3

Geert when I first tested the new timer with Volpex, I was horrified. I even said (quote):

"Feels like someone's taking my heart out".

But after playing for a bit, I started to like it! I felt like I was playing Quidditch in harry potter and the timer for me looked like the Golden Snith. Playing with this different timer actually helps me control 3 speeds in ffa. But when I was playing thin, it was so bad because when the timer ends, I lag a bit. So when I turn, there's more emphasis on the turn and I just hit someone. It's difficult to go through holes too.

I agree with Forthright

I don't like the placement of the timer at all. 

Anyways, who has a problem with knowing when his items run out? By playing this game more often you will get a feeling for the game mechanics. You will know without thinking after what amount of time your items disappear, just like everyone feels at the flying start when they will start drawing their line. I think no one even thought about the timer before and everyone was just fine with it... because the old timer was just perfectly fine. Useless change in my opinion and you can just copy & paste the old timer of CF2 to CF3.

Isn't Beta test about testing new stuff??? Give us open beta and dont ruin cf 2 with ur ideas,srsly its nice but on high lvl unplayable whole day -.-

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days...

old timer is the best.

trueeeeeeeee <3

I think of the 3 new timer arcs you've tried out, I prefer yesterday (start back, end front) for non-thin games, and today (static relative to field) otherwise. But I think I still prefer old timer (although it's hard to tell since I've played with it so long)

so did you get a beta game? 
stop trying things that are useless and improve things that we asking for years 

Thanks for the old timer back. It's really better like this!
