  It’s been a while since I have regularly watched videos for credits , but see they are now 60 seconds long . I am not saying every one  is , I am just noticing them tonight for gunship battle and that’s the only video that is playing for me in France . This is twice the length of what ads used to be. I think this is a huge disadvantage to new players who have no other means to upgrade équipement , without spending real money. Who thinks this is fair ? 

  update …. I am now getting gunship battle videos with a 30 second timer , so maybe it was just a blip.

  it varies.  most are 30 seconds.  I'll have days where I get about 20 5 second videos.

  Not a glitch. They have more than one version of each ad. I’m guessing it’s an experiment to see if we will tolerate the longer ones. 

  I find 60 second ads bordering offensive. Certainly not worth sitting through for only 2 credits.

  If I’m not interested in what they’re selling after 20 seconds, I’m not going to be interested after 60. Tacking a couple 5 second timers onto the end won’t change my mind either.

  My personal solution is to reboot the game as soon as I see one that’s over my time limit, and start over. Hopefully more people will start doing the same and advertisers will see that the long ads aren’t working.
