Arena Takes too Long
I have seen a lot of suggestions saying that there should be 6x speed and 8x speed, mainly because of bastilla and pheonix teams. Maybe against other teams too. But I really think that a speed over 4x would make the game too laggy, or just ruin the graphics. I think that the best idea would be to increase the time of an arena match. Maybe to 7:50? Because there's not a problem with someone taking too long in a match. There's a problem with timing out. Also increased speed might mess with raids. Since more toons are being added pretty fast, there might be another team that times out. CG should really consider increasing the arena times. I dont think TW takes too long, and that shouldn't be changed.

Arena never ever was seven minutes, Fleet arena however, used to be seven minutes, regular arena always has been five minutes
Ok. My bad..... been playing this game so long its turned my brain to mush
Turn back to the light!
Maybe, but high level Revan and Traya teams, with g12+ gear and 6 star mods timeout pretty regularly now.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

Sometimes, depending on your team's dps. I was just stating a team that I knew had lots of health recovery
That’s a little different than a Revan team. Revan has almost no counter team that can beat him very fast. It usually times out no matter what level you are (but as @Ultra proved, it is possible.
Phoenix is different. It can cause timeouts at a lower level. But I’m at the point where my FO team destroys them in a minute.
how can you think squad arena needs longer and TW doesn't?
TW is nothing but a whole bunch of squad arena matches. revan walls, traya walls same stuff you battle in squad arena every day.
I can't beat Revan but Traya with g12+ gear and 6 star mods takes me about two minutes.
If you increased time, what would be a solid defense for higher-ups?
What is the “it takes too long” argument? Most of the responses I see to requests for more time are simply “it can be done, just use Traya and you’ll win in 2.5 minutes.” (Like everyone has Traya on our bench and we’re too dumb to use her)
Even if CG extended the time to 7 minutes, we could still all use our Traya (lol) to win in 2.5 minutes and not take too long, or longer.
I’ve never understood how adding a minute or two actually hurts anyone or why anyone opposes this UNLESS they know their defense of arena rank is preserved in part by the time-out problem.
Well, yeah, that.
People just need to learn you can’t win all the time.
People invested time and money to get an edge.
Now you want the Devs to take that edge away and give it to you.
If I can beat those teams then so can you. It’s callled better mods and stronger toons.
If you don’t have revan then use sith.
Don’t have traya then use cls/chewi.
And if you don’t have any of these teams then you probably can’t compete at the top anyway.
Screenshots or it didn’t happen
