Make the ad system time-based

[AnAgarioPlayer]

When a team mode agario server is vastly one-sided, I am sure I am not alone in having to respawn every minute or two for a long time when playing on a losing team. To have to watch a 30-second ad every time is fairly annoying (or every other time, given that some lives last less than 30 seconds).

I suggest a change so that an ad only displays if it is at least 5-10 minutes since the last one.

Try playing agma.io instead? There are no ads there yet. (lol)

I was also thinking that mostly, it is so pronounced when the #1 and #2 players are teaming... maybe agma could heap on a penalty )such as a much increased decay rate?) to help even things out again?

To me, nothing spells WUSSY like a 1st & 2nd place 'team'.

We have the same problem playing Classic Mode on mobile. About every 1 in 3 deaths is an ad which usually requires at least 5 to 10 seconds before the “Skip” option appears.

In a really difficult field, average cell life goes down to 10 to 20 seconds or less. This is when ads feel like a punishment for failing!

The strange thing is that in Rush Mode there are no ads until you return to the main screen. I’m just glad Miniclip hasn’t realized this yet.

I hear Ad Blocking software works really well for the browser version.

This is probably another one post vent and leave.

To put it in perspective, during the ad breaks of a 40-minute session of agario I managed to create an account here and write nearly the whole first post, just writing and registering in the ad time. (It was also the same ad every time)

If 2 good teamers are 5 and 6th but then they get 1st and 2nd then is that wuss? Or skill?

There have been... one or two times that I've accepted a teaming request... and if it were me, and we were #5/6, then as soon as we became #1/2, I would donate my mass to others and start over -- they would have no more need of a team.

The only way I'd team with a #1 person would be if they were great friends of mine, and everyone else was trying to take them down... then I might do some pest.... errr... virus-control for them. lol (Or I might join in, trying to take 'em out, hehe... depending on their mood.)

There's been a huge misunderstanding. Agarioforums.net doesn't cover agar.io whole other game, our games are Agma.io and Agarioforums.io We can't help you buddy

Actually... I just thought of a solution for you.

You won't get your full mass bonus.... but you can just add a browser extension called 'AdBlock Plus', and for me, at least, then all ads were gone.

(It knows though, asks you to disable it, and charges you a starting mass penalty. You could turn it off while you are ion a bad team... and then disable the extension again, so you can choose between not having ads, or the extra mass.)
