Psa Do not go for the quick One Card wins

As of the new update, the time you spend on a game and the difficulty of the opponents you face significantly affect how many Star Points and Reward Points you get.
I played a 30-45s One Card game with 2 Shining Stars, and got [b]6[/b] RP and [b]1[/b] Star Point.
Then I played a 3 min game with 1 Shining Star, and got [b]53[/b] RP and [b]4[/b] Star Points.
Each game has to last at least 2-3 minutes I'm guessing for all participants to get full RP.

Also, there was a ninja nerf to the single player games. It used to be if you got all but 1 wrong on the 1st stage of the typing game it would still count as 1 game played.
This time I went to a couple stages in, and legitimately "tried" to play. It kicked me out after I lost and gave me nothing.

Yep, twice as long to farm as much rp now. Ebola.

[quote=loxiona]Well I agree that its based on time played now. Got 4th in one game and got 11sp and got 4th in another and got 30sp. However I got 1st in another game and got 72sp, compared to the 60sp like before.

Also i'd just go for the win even if it ends fast. You still get more for winning. They just made it so that losing is quite a bit more painful than before, which makes it harder for those bots farming reward points to get reward points now, and encourages people not to let people win, and therfore actually play.[/quote]
It's not worth it really anymore then. There's no way you can farm fast RP unless you use multiple characters to do 4 out of the 5 daily quests, and that is timezone dependent.
I'm estimating with average game lengths and average luck you'll win 1/10, and get about 500-600 RP per character by the time you hit 10 One Card games.
Before I was averaging 1.8k-2k for 2 characters by the time I hit 10 games for each. This means you need to play twice as long to get the same amount of RP. It's a huge nerf.
