Battle time request (Functional)

[Kadana Sorano]

OK, so I woke and battled my pets, had some coffee, breakfast, tried to wake up (that one doesn't seme to be going so well heh) And came back to battle my pets again.

So when i return to battle my pets the second time, it is 10 past the hour.  And it said they were too tired to battle.  I hadn't battled them that hour, but I did during the previous hour.  20 mins later (aproximately) I tried to battle again, and it let me.

So I'm guessing that atm the battle timer goes by the exact time you do our last battle.. ie: I battle my dog allure at 10:30 I cannot battle her again until 11:30.

Is there any way, that this could be made so that the battle timer resets at the top of the hour?  ie: if you battle your dog at 10:15 but happen to be online at 11:10 you can battle again, because it is inside a new hour frame?  Or would that just be unfeasible to do?

Yeah, currently if you've done 5 battles in the past 60 minutes you can't battle anymore.  I'll think it over if that can be changed, a good solution hasn't popped to mind immediatley.  I'll also think over if I want to change it...it's more "realistic" that your pet would require a full hour to recover than that they'd suddenly get untired because the clock hour changed.  ^^

Personally, i prefer every hour from the last time they battled, though it is harder to keep track of.  ^^  i do like the more 'realistic' system.  ^^

Every hour is perfectly fine with me, but I'd agree: if there was a timer on each pet's page 'till when they can next battle, or a timer saying when they last battled their last of 5 battles, it'd be super helpful.<3
Like, if I battle Amisi 4 times at 8:34, and for the 5th time at 8:40, she can't battle until 9:40, correct? So, the timer would have '9:40' on the page or count down 'till 9:40 or something. <3

*really not so sure about this... but I can't wait til I have a Secundi pet to find out*

The timer sounds like it could be helpful though as it really does only make sense that a pet should need an hour of rest before battling again.

Ahh thanks Silv.  I admit I hadn't thought of realism.  Maybe because my dogs are battling fish lol which just makes me laugh at the thought of irl lol

but anyway yes, I can understand the realism point of a full 60 minutes from the last battle.  I've just been having thr problem of battling at odd parts of an hour.  If I could manage to battle on the hour eahc hour, I'd be fine. But somehow even if I start out the day on the hour, I end up a few minutes off here, a few off there etc. Till in the end, I don't know when I am due to battle again.

I agree, a timer would be helpful.  (ditto for the door lol I wake at odd times to get a drink or such and in my half asleep state click the door and forget to mark the time).  But I'm not sure how much work coding timer would be, or how it would affect the system.  So I understand if those aren't feasible either.

Either way, thank you for the reply/explanation.

Ok, I've added a listing to your pet's pet info page that says the date and time of their most recent battle.  The games page now also displays the date and time you last played each game.
