again i don't really would play 1|7 unless its 3100+ and good players (you surely know what i mean)
My main point is that 1|7 should actually be changed by something else what I mean is during the FFA/solo WC i pretty sure won't be happy if its 1|7. The other option for this is to bring back 1|15D which is also pretty reasonable time control
At first I didn't really agree, but lowering the time makes sense. It turns into long games of shuffle wars and is not fun with so much added time

What about 30 minutes 30 increment?
Just gonna say, this is less convincing than Prathu_19.

because people have life and don't need to waste hours on a stupid game which will not even benefit anything for them. playing short time controls is better as games would end faster. again 4/4 3/4 is the ones i liked but 30/30 would take like 2-3 hrs a game if players kept shuffling. again i dont know your rating ( i am assuming its around 2k) but from what i can say is that on low lvl games u cant see much fun or enjoyment as people just get angry and throws like 90% of the times. so again i dont think for the people around 2k rated would even care what the time control is as the game ends in like 50moves. again no offence if u r 2k but thats the truth u cant really enjoy much due to people throwing. the reason i suggested those time controls is because there are people at high lvl who dont have time to play for hrs for no reason.
I literally did not play any FFA/Teams in this year. Thus, my rating is 1500.
I got it, thank you. If you had to choose from 4|4 or 3|5, what would you choose?

4|4 pretty decent for thinking in the opening and with less increment u have to think better in time trouble
I heard that the critical moments of games are in the middle/endgame. Doesn't 3|5 give more time to think?

well ofc but there are people who just shuffle and gain like a way too much of time and then the game just gets boring later on
Yeah, I believe you know about this better than me.
3+4 is my suggestion tbh 4mins on head start is too much imo as there is not many possible moves in the first 4-5moves they are just standard ofc after that the time needs to be used properly for tactics and stuff. Again 4+4 is also pretty decent
3+4/4+4 have to be a little too fast, no? At 8 seconds a move we're living on increment in just 24 moves. That seems a little quick for rapid where your game is easily going to last fifty moves.
yea i dont want to waste time playing 1|7 which takes a lot of time if players like being stupid and passive in 3 player stage. I have faced this in the festival semi finals and have decided to not play these stupid long time controls. I do agree that u need thinking in FFA but you should be able to think fast too. There is already 3/4 min head start which is pretty good and I don't think you need to waste much time in first 5-7 moves. Again in crucial moments you surely need long time controls but you need to see that people have life too. Some people can't play for hrs in 4pc just for a game. I wanna ask you a question that would you like to waste a whole hour of your life for a 4pc game which won't even do much change in your life? Again i don't really care about this as I won't play these long time controls unless there are good players. I mostly play 10min or 8min FFA which is good too but some people disagree with is because they are slow/ can't think fast and then flag. Well if the FFA time controls are not going to 1|7 its not really going to hurt me but there are people who don't have time to waste on 4pc and disagrees with 1|7 time control
I hear you! My entire point was that 3+4 is not as good of an alternative as say 10 min.
