45 seconds per player 1st turn

30 seconds per player all other turns

pvp games need to move faster!

Thats asking for desyncs. Blame the opponent for being slow. A stall game doesn't take longer that 6-7 minutes. A normal game takes half of that.

Especially when many moves are made like the initial SN or in a OTK deck, it takes a bit to process and get the information to the other player. also the timer on your side starts when you end your turn which is about 10-15 seconds before the other player actually gets to start his or her turn. which leaves ~45 seconds before it registers as the person leaving on your end

last pvp2 was 7 turn game where opponent played 4 pillars, 2 creatures, and a weapon.  it took 6:30.  i took less than 5 seconds per turn.

been trapped in 1000+ second games in pvp routinely.  every time im in the mood for pvp, i end up joining a game where im praying that the opponent drops out so the AI can takeover, to play the game faster.  some turns go fast, against some players.  this suggests that its not some carrier pigeon getting lost with the game data, its opponents that need to shake their A.  god forbid someone stop downloading videos or playing on a poor connection when they participate in a game with other players?  hard to believe we even need to say this in 2011.
