shorter timer

the end turn warning timer is too short now- like 5 secs?! There's barely any time to register it much less do any last minute actions before the turn ends. What was the point of shortening the warning :o?

    Personally, I would like to see a timer between active plays, not global.
    So if you don't make a move for say, 10 seconds, you get the warning.

    If you are on PC there's an useful addon that permanently shows you the remaining time.

    No thanks, last thing I need is someone milking that strategy to make their turn last even longer.

    A shorter timer is necessary in ranked competitive mode, casual is fine since people are learning. It is really frustrating when players are just afk and happen to notice the timer is running out or if there online trying to figure out how to play the druid deck lol seriously, I know I'm not the only one that feels this way....

    The problem isn't the timer being too short, it's players taking too long to figure out their plays. I played one of the most boring tedious games yesterday with an opponent who actually sat there for an extended time on their very first turn trying to figure out how to spend 3 coins.

    I find it ironic that the players I've played that take a long time and overanalyze every move often lose the match.

    It's not about trying to figure out how to spend 3 coins, it's about dragging out time, forcing the opponent to resign from the match.
    It works and from the few matches I have played I have resigned and let them win, just to try and get a new opponent that doesn't use that tactic.

    The card game matches in general takes to long . It should have been more in line with triple triad(ffxiv) or wow pet battles to draw in a wider audience.
