Only thirty seconds, not really a big deal and won't affect gameplay much. What is stupid is the one hour delay on casual freestyle games; completely pointless.
Greetings! This was based on a Suggestion. If it was truly going to ruin speed games i would hope any such issues would have been raised and dealt with in that process.
The delay on speed games is 20 seconds and 1 hour on casual. It is only the first turn. It is not clear how this is so destructive... but please clarify and I will listen.
Speed games delay I don't see a problem with. It will help with any lag issues, which are quite prevalent, and makes for a more even playing field which could potentially increase the amount of speed freestyle players.
However, I think it is pointless for casual games. There are 24 hours to take the turn anyway and anyone playing casual freestyle to a competitive level will check their game(s) regularly anyway, so the 1 hour delay isn't necessary. If you consider an eight player casual freestyle game, how many of those people do you think will be online in the first two hours of 24, rather than just the first one hour? The odds aren't exactly much different.
