Should the challenge timers be removed?

Challenges need a sim button

Pointless just sitting there waiting for the timer to go down. From my experience you can get all the daily activities, a full GW run and the raid done in under 2 hours. That spilt throughout the day when you have a spare bit of time isn't too much really.

But it's not split through the day. My guild activity resets at 8pm which means I then have to cram in game time

There is only 1 guild activity per day that runs for 24 hours. You can do everything else before then and just save what ever activity is the guild one. I don't really see why you have to cram anything in? :/

My guild reset time is only 1 hour earlier than yours and I've never noticed a problem myself.

The guild reset is at 8, the daily resets is at 1 am, now I'm not going to be playing past midnight. Which gives a window of 4 hours to compete challenges which takes a minimum of an hour. I guess the only commitment you have in your life in SWGOH

Nice attempt at an insult but I have plenty of other commitments and still manage to do it without any problems.

Like you said you have 4 hours to complete it in... It takes a max of 5 minutes (usually much less) to do the 2 challenges. So taking 5 minutes every half hour to do the challenges and you will be done with it in 2.5 hours. There is time in between to do whatever else you want to do at home and even have an extra 1.5 hours to get them in if you are particularly busy at home.

Also I dunno about you but the challenges are easily done on auto so you don't even really need to stop what ever you are doing apart from setting it to go.

Or better.... Make it only one try needed and triple the rewards or 5x for gear ones.... There is no reason to have to do them 3 or 5 times a day and time is better spent in GW arena and raids.

This "app" takes far too much time now, a sim option for GW would be good also

OK "fitting them in" aside. Tell me what the timer adds to game play?

Timers are a big issue with the time demands of this game. I understand them and support them in the arena. Fact of the matter is that a mobile game should be able to be played in your free time, and in the case of timers on challenges you can't complete the set of challenges in a lunch period.

It's odd that the responses to this issue is do other stuff during the timer countdowns. Maybe for some they are simply waiting to do stuff on the game, but for me I'm wanting these things to able to be done in the small time I can set aside for the game.

Honestly the only good thing about GW is that you can work on it consecutively here and there. The idea of "just do some GW battles when the timers are up" is valid, that's what I do, but that's not the point. I want to use the time for challenges but can't. Several times in the past week I haven't even finished the challenges. Even though I can do them on auto. They're not available to finish the limited times I log in so they don't get done.

I don't log in for each free energy either, being on at certain times isn't for me. Now I'm not looking for that to change and I get why it's there, but at least for actual game content you could make it easier to access the modes you want to play when you have time to play them. I mean, you can't even spend crystals to reset those timers!

Could not agree more!

It's simply a time restraint that doesn't need to be there. You CAN "fit it in" but what value do the timers add?

Literally this entire genre of gaming is based on time gates. This is a pointless question because it will never be changed.

What do the timers add to this part of the game? Arena battles yes I agree with timers, but challenges why?

If challenges have timers why not GW nodes?
