Taking Too Much Time

Moiz5 · 05-04-2008, 05:39 PM

Today i was against a horrible player who's stats were 657. His username was romo. He took 15 minutes just stalling, doing nothing and the time limit would not come to an end. Does any1 know what this is or how it is caused?

Whatever it is, it's certainly not English.

well on fps they're having trouble with people freezing the time, go to Tactics Arena Online and click on community forums, and search freezing the time, it may help

Are you sure YOU weren't lagging? He might've taken his turn and it lagged and din't show up as him doing anything on your screen

i'm more sure of my theory because it's actually happened to me on fps, just stay in the arena for as long as possible
a mod will come on and boot them most likely, my game lasted over 2 hours until someone got a mod

Well I don't play FPS, I wouldn't know.

it may be coming over to legends now, i'd be careful, if it happens just be as stubborn as possible and stay in the arena

it happens sometimes when the opponent's internet connection acts dumb or other scenarios where the game still thinks they are there - 15 mins seems to be the max time - i had a 10 min or so one this morning

There is also something you can do with a certain program that disrupts the symmetry between the units on your board and your opponent's, thus freezing the time limit completely.
But it takes at least 2 turns to set it up.. so i guess that's not what this was.

Could this be something like the hack that "Kill Some Time" was/is using?
