Hello everyone,
after playing skylords since it´s beta and before until it shut down, i´ve been thinking about increasing the game speed. While playing and watching other games like Starcraft, age of empires and similar games to these series, I´ve noticed a returning theme. There is a normal gamespeed for everyone at which everyone can enjoy it and there is an option to set it higher. Star Craft 2 has 5 which are 0.6x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.2x and 1.4x and in Age of Empires 2 there are even 4 options. 1x, 1.5x, 1.7x and 2x. I would like to see something similar in Skylords aswell in the future.
If you are playing Singleplayer, you can simply do whatever you want with any speed. Are you a very new player or an older who need a bit of time? Slower it down. Is the game to slow? Speed it up. Do you want to really go crazy? Speed it up even more. This would affect ingame times aswell. So if you would put the speed to 2x if it would be possible, a 30 min timer would suddenly be a 15 min timer in reality since it would tick down faster so you couldn´t just simply abuse that part.
Now i fall into the category that i´ve played my fair share of games and i have a decent understanding and mechanical skill and the game just started to become a bit to slow for me. I would love to see how it would be on different speeds like 1.3x or 1.5x, maybe like Aoe2 where the norm became 1.7x since the game was slow to begin with and with all of the mechanical things going on in skylords like unit turnradii, acceleration, slow reaction time, a faster speed would maybe benefit the game as a whole.
Now which speeds would i like to see? The basic ones would be 1.5x and 2x. But if we want to be more advanced then adding 1.3x and 1.7x would be very nice. Would i want slower speeds? No, not really. The game is slow as it is and decreasing it further would hurt it more then helping, then again, maybe it would be a good for new, younger or older players to slow it down to 0.8x or even 0.6x. Accessibility is never bad.
But how would this work in multiplayer? You open a room, set the speed and people who look at your room can see the speed and dicide wether they want to join in or not. Same with difficulty for rpve and campain maps. Now pvp however is an entirely different beast. The way that Aoe2 and SC2 handled it was to let the community dicide what gamespeed should be the default one for matchmaking. I don´t know how it was in SC2 but i remember in AoE2 it started at 1x, then people opened lobbies with 1.5x and found it more enjoable. With the improvement of the game over time people started to enjoy 1.7x the most and is now the standart for matchmaking. This would be the most obvious and quickest solution to that.
Now to the possible problem. If you would speed it up, that means you can complete missions faster, grind faster, get your quests done faster and this speedup may or may not affect the 45m timer aswell. From an egocentric point, i´d love that. Getting those done quicker would be a delight. Right now i am at a point where i´ve done things i wanted to do and am waiting for the nex update. Doing my daily quests and maybe 1-2 more rpve matches and going out for the day. Having this be done faster is something i´d like.
However obviously that means that i spend less time in the game in real time. Meaning that i engage less potentially with the community and with the rest of the content. Now i don´t know how much the devs care about actual time spend and engagement itself or if they just say "aslong as people are playing it, we are happy". In that case the ingame speed could potentially not affect the 45min timer.
I don´t know how much possible with the engine but i´d like to see something like that implemented.
