Focus Challenge Fairness... | Forums

[EffenSeven]

Just a suggestion, and personally it's the only thing that REALLY bothers me.

The focus challenge and how unfair it can be.

You have 10 seconds which is understandable, but I personally would think it would be better if the timer would pause when it's loading the new tiles considering my computer will lag and I lose time by waiting for the tiles and can only get 2 matches.

Also, been noticing a trend that the higher level you become, the more cards that come up. And you still have the same time limit. It makes it difficult to get a medium coffee especially because again, the timer keeps going as you're waiting for the cards to load.

I guess basically all I'm asking is if you're not going to pause the timer, then just keep it at 6 cards with 2 matches. Would make things less frustrating.

The lag you're experiencing is due to your system and is not game related, so unforunately that's not something we can fix. In addition, the number of cards per Focus Challenge game are randomly generated and your assumption that you see more cards as you reach a higher level is not necessarily true. The number of cards presented in the challenge is independent of your level. Thanks for your feedback and please post it in the correct thread next time: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/foru...1073288/m/6101055388

I didn't claim the lag was game related. I'm well aware that it's my system doing so. But I'm sure it happens to others as well. I was just making a suggestion that would make the mini game less frustrating.

As for the more tiles bit. When you first start the game at level 1, there's usually less tiles. I'm Level 29, and notice since I've gained in level, it seems to increase the number of tiles which can be quite difficult given the time limit and people who are experiencing a laggy system performance. At least pausing the timer during the tile loading would fix that problem.
