4x speed doesn't also accelerate the arena clock

Oh can you imagine the carnage on this board if that was a thing.

The cheaters wouldn't mind of course, it'd just speed up their cheating.

Terrible idea,

The 2x and 4x were introduced as a direct result of people complaint that you can’t fight enough in five minutes to win.

Then why not just increase the clock instead of punishing players who prefer to savor the game?

There is no feature/option to increase the speed of arena matches. There is, however, an option to increase the animation speed — and that's what it does.

There are plenty of other spaces in the game to run at 1x speed and get the full effects of the beautifully designed animations. I agree that they are worth savoring... from time to time. I would contend that for Arena purposes, the 4x gameplay actually rewards players by allowing developers to create more complex mechanics, thus resulting in even more beautifully designed animations! That you'll get to savor outside of squad arena.

Eye roll

False. The very fact that the increased animation speed is not also paired with increased clock speed effectively creates the increased match speed that you're trying to pretend doesn't exist. We are basically having 20-minute matches in 5 minutes. And that is silly (and inequitable) to me.

This 4x is intended to give players more moves. We used to have just 1x. After a while, it becomes tedious.

It's not inequitable because everyone has access to it.

I'm right you are wrong. The feature is an option to increase animation speed. There is no option to (quoting yourself) " ... set arena matches to 4x speed" like you claimed. You only change the animation speed. Nothing else. That's what the feature does. That is what it's supposed to do.

You may find it silly, that nothing else changes speed, but that's a different subject. I'm still right. You're still wrong.

I'm not agreeing with the OP's larger point but what you've said here is incorrect, or at least missing the OP's point on this issue. By changing the animation speed, you are able to generate more moves for yourself. You have to wait less for both your attacks and the AI attacks before you can go again.

Of course, I see no problem with that, because as I said, it's the same for everyone.
