~Ğǿǿmy~ Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I remember it ALWAYS going into July.... Now its not even go to the end of June :[ Le Sigh :/ Oh well... And plus y'all (getting in to my Paula Deen accent ;D) need to stop hating on Slushie Slinger!!
voteforpedro333 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 It's weird because I'm both happy and sad about the cup's length. I'm glad it's short because that way there's going to be less burnout by the time the finals roll around, but I'm sad because I've gotten a summer job and I might not be able to play as much as I want to, and a shorter tournament will mean a lot less days to rack up gameplay. It's an interesting situation to say the least.
Rebecca~ Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 This is my first AC, so I think I'm kind of happy about the shortness of it? I don't want to be overwhelmed! Though, with my horribly long work days, I don't know how much I will actually be able to play.
Lady Lyuba Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 This is my first AC, so I think I'm kind of happy about the shortness of it? I don't want to be overwhelmed! Though, with my horribly long work days, I don't know how much I will actually be able to play. I have a similar problem as I still have class to at least mid-June. Which means for the majority of the Cup, I will have homework I'll need to do which will get in the way of the games. True, I've had this problem always since school where I live does not get out until mid-June (Pacific Northwest just did not abide by the new law I guess), but now I get less time!
star_empyre Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I think 24days is just right, long enough so people who actually like it get to play to their hearts' content, and short enough that people who aren't that interested don't get annoyed.
Saxen Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 24 days seems better to me :) Maybe this time I may find the will to get to All-Star XP
Secre Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 24 days seems a more sensible length...I won't be going barmy by the end!
jonathanjoseph99 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 It's gonna be interesting how the cup unfolds. I don't know but I think there wont be any more side games. I think it's impossible that they'll remove it but. Idk. The new format confuses me a bit.
idriya Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 A ton of people wanted a shorter AC/the DRR format scrapped. And I think the length is perfect. Not too long that people will get bored of the AC, but not too short, so there still will be plenty of action.

Ugh, that sucks. :( Maybe use the AC as an incentive? Write an essay, play for an hour or whatever. x3
Ashbash Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I'm alright with 24 days. I find myself getting burnt out towards the end of the cup usually anyways.
Sakabato Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I don't like it, then again at the same time, I find it necessary because I'm "busy" with other stuffs.
AgJu Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Wasn't it always 24 days? You faced each opposing team twice for a total of 18 days in the DRR, then there were about 4 days of play in the final brackets...so 22? Edit: Pfft....I was totally doing the math wrong. Two rounds, a team facing the 17 other teams for 34, and then the four playoff days for 38.
Rynarok Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Seeing as I will definitely be maxing out, I think 24 is enough for me. Unlike other years I actually have time this year to commit enough time to playing. They might lower the cap needed for All-Star since there are less days though.
ice cream man Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I would at least like 30 days since the altador cup is only on once a year.
AgJu Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I would at least like 30 days since the altador cup is only on once a year. I think if they're going to shorten it, shorten it to just June. 30 days of play, once a year.
