Belma First finish discussion

Post by zworqy »

I have noticed there is a lot of confusion as to what "First finish" actually means. As it is now "First finish" means: 1. How long it takes for the first person to finish after the battle starts. But there are (at least) two other intrepretations of the term:
  • 2. The time of your first finish, or
  • 3. The time from when you join the battle until you finish
It seems like most noobs thinks the battle is for interpretation nr 2. Maybe it's time for some change. Changing the name of the battle, adding more modes or something else. Discuss.

Personally, i think it would be good to change the battle mode to nr 3, it would be more exciting when the first time that pops up in the results isn't automatically the winner. And it looks kinda silly now when the winner has some 20 secs and the next results are like 1 min apart, if time of joining battle matters then the results would be more even.

But the actual question in my post is: "Is it clear enough what the current 'first finish' battle mode means?"
