Decreased disconnect timer#279
Conversation

My reason for making it ten minutes back in the day was that in countries with bad internet (like in Germany in some places) Internet can randomly drop out and require you to either reboot your router and/or your PC, which can take longer than five minutes. I personally would rather prefer a solution that still keeps the ten minutes, because if you lower it to five people who want to come back but cannot because of, dunno, BSOD or something don't have a chance to take longer than five minutes. I'd rather see a change to the giveup command or some other command that allows the opponent to just cancel the duel without a win/loss count while the other player is currently disconnected. That'd allow for even faster resets than 5 minutes while friends who know that their opponent will come back soon can still opt to wait for their return. |

I personally don't have an opinion either way. I have just mostly seen people that use it to avoid losing a duel, which rightfully so leaves the winning party frustrated because they were 1 or 2 commands away from winning. Again, main purpose of this, was to combat rage quitters :) but looking forward to more opinions |
Players have indicated that 10 minutes is a long time to wait after a player disconnects from a duel to wait. This pr lowers that time down to 5 minutes.
