A Short Timer Continues to Count Down during *ALL* sorts of Animation + No Game Log to keep track
As I played my first few games in Pokémon TCG Live, I've encountered an issue where my timer ran out during the animations between turns or actions taken, resulting in me passing my turn if I cant react in 5 seconds? With an already very short timer of 15 seconds, plus all sorts of very long animation I could never ever do some optimal plays. Can it be at least 30~60 seconds??
There is no bots for me to practice against and now I just have to just press random buttons and hope for the best in order I do not lose my turn.
As a new player I found this very unpleasant as I could not have even a proper time to read or sort out my thoughts and actions to be taken.
Is this a bug or it is just default?
And also, I have noticed that there is no game logs for me to keep track on what the opponent have search out or what they have used. Which other online TCG games that I have played have.
Is this really ok with all of these issue around? Can you guys call this even playing the game or enjoy it? Personally I could not and wont be willing to play as much unless the timer issue is at least fixed.

There ARE bots to practice VS, you simply hit Test Deck in the deck building menu. The timer is for when you take too long during a turn, ideally you shouldn't be seeing it at all.

It's a beta. There are going to need to be improvements like a longer, possibly more dynamic, timer, and a game log before it has a final release. If you can't handle it not being finished, it's best not to play the beta and go back to Online for the time being.

Geru _Sek, the timer shouldn't start counting down until 30 seconds or so without taking an action... for example I often see it when making my first deck search. It's not supposed to be starting right as your turn begins.. is that what's happening?
Flagrama, I see you here and on Reddit giving these "it's a beta" answers to all sorts of questions... I wonder why you think that's helpful? Especially suggesting people who are having problems should stop playing the game? I thought the purpose of an open beta was to collect reports from players in a wide variety of game environments, so I'm confused as to why there are responses essentially telling folks to stop complaining...
Because we all know this game is incredibly frustrating, and yes, Grasi420, broken. Just now I lost a game to Arceus Duraludon when their Arceus hung the game attaching energy, my turn timer ran down, and I had to concede. I thought that bug was fixed! Sure, sometimes people post things that aren't actually bugs, and you have to point that out. But to say, "yes of course the game is full of game-breaking bugs, it's a beta, why are you writing about them on the Bugs & Feedback board?!" seems... misguided?

Those responses of mine here are to the ones who are complaining in general instead of reporting. (or at least that is what I'm attempting to) Whining is noise that makes it harder to dig through for the actual reports for the support team to bring to the development team. You're actively making the job for the support team harder if you're whining about it being broken without providing any information. As for the reddit, they just annoy me.
