4x speed doesn't also accelerate the arena clock

I noticed the other day that when you set arena matches to 4x speed, the arena timer remains at a 1x speed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am fully aware, that you can make more moves in an arena battle by increasing the animation speed. I am also aware, that the feature available is an option to adjust the speed of the animations and nothing else.

When the OP claims, that it must be unintended, that only the animation speed is adjusted and not the timer speed as well, I'm sure, he's wrong. I cannot imagine, that the designers intended it any other way. They got rid of timeout teams back then when they introduced the feature. I'm quite sure, that it was intentional and one of their goals. There is no unintended advantage to fix.

The OP may want the feature to work differently, but that's a different discussion. His oppinion on that matter is as good as anybody elses.

Just imagine trying to beat a team with GK, Chaze, Zarris and Hyoda in less than 1min 15 seconds... Time out teams are not the intended path to glory in Arenas.

This.

It's inequitable because it means I have to play that way or else be at a disadvantage. It's like saying "you are entitled to my opinion."

That's absolutely ridiculous. Making a suboptimal decision when you have the same choices as everyone else and getting a suboptimal outcome is not 'inequitable'.

What are you seriously complaining about!? Man out of all things you could complain you pick the one that doesn’t add up...timer is 5 minutes, bottom line. The devs never claimed their increase in speed of battle would make the timer tick away at said current speed. Is it just me or are you trolling?

Um, it's just you.

If 5 minutes isnt enough time to finish a match, increase the timer. Increasing game speed is silly, and makes it too easy to be hyperfocused on prizes rather than enjoying gameplay. That's all I'm saying. (I didn't say you had to agree with me.)

Again, @Tryxa: There's no option to increase game speed, Tryxa. There's an option to increase animation speed during battle.

Increasing the timer is stupid. In arena i cant fight if you are hitting me. It sucks waiting for a lockout to finish so i can have my arena battles. 5 minutes is more than long enough to sit waiting unable to play this game.

Agreed, @Naraic. Players who enjoy watching game animations as much as @Tryxa does, could simply record their 5 minute matches and watch them again during the battle cooldown. A simple solution, which won't bother anyone else (not even developers).

Wow this thread is just straight trolling.

I'm all for thinking outside the box, but this is an awful idea and not thought out at all. I would guess the OP has either not been playing very long, or is no where near the top of his shard, (or most likely both) so he has no idea about the ramifications of what he's suggesting.

My Bastila vs Bastila battles right now take ~4 minutes on full auto at x4. Every single battle would be a time out, you could lock up for 20 minutes, which was maybe an even more absurd suggestion, and would completely upend and destroy how arena works.
