Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
Does anyone else feel they need more time before a round starts - especially those who squad lead? I believe it's only a 1:30? I would like to see a least a two minute + set up.
When I'm SL'ing I use every bit of that time coordinating with my squad. It would nice if we had an extra minute.|TG-9th| TheFatKidDeath

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
Yes, and regularly FKD and Pfeil lead the 9th squads. The bad part is that Pfeil never even makes it into the game until about 10 seconds left on the 1:30 timer. He is a slow loader...... I know a longer timer would make me happy. Not to mention when you first get on the server setting up 4 different kits takes time too. Especially when you start to have all the unlocks.
My 2 cents.Last edited by Revark; 12-25-2006 at 10:22 AM. Reason: I be moron....

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
Nowadays I have a lot to say to my squad before game start so I would support this. The prep talk does make a difference.

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
A longer set up time would be nice, especially from a CO's perspective. Lately, whenever I CO, I try to set up some type of co-ordinated attack/defense between the squads (not always, but I am learning to talk more now that I play on TG most of the time). I find that by the time everone settles into a squad and all squads are formed, I've only been able to give instructions to maybe two squads out of 4 - 6. Having time to be able to actually co-ordinate an entire force would be great.

If at first you don't succeed, you need more firepower.
There is nothing wrong with feeling something when you shoot your enemies... as long as that something is recoil.

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
indeed... i think the setup timer is far too quick.. the timer usually runs out while SL and CO are still throwing orders around

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
I vote no. 1:30 I think is a good compromise.

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
yes.. but... having a longer starting timer... will make the less mature... more 'less tactics.. more killing' people avoid the srvr =P

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
We could always try it out. I honestly dont think an extra 30 seconds or so is going to deter many.
I find by the time I get my kit, and pick my squad, there isnt enough time to coordinate with the rest of my squad - especially if the SL is trying to coordinate with the CO first.

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
An extra 30 seconds doesn't seem so bad. However, it might be better to wait for a larger TG player base before raising the timer. The conquest server could probably handle pubbies leaving but the titan server wouldn't fare as well.

Re: Can we INCREASE the setup timer?
I'm all for it. When I have to hit the bathroom I have to run and then I miss all the orders. 2:00 to 2:30 would be perfect. Also to get out the unmature would be a nice side effect.
