Hey Managers,

Re the error 832/2 that some of you may have seen, this error was shown around the short maintenance time we had yesterday. In order not to interrupt ongoing duels, the option to start a new one was briefly disabled and this error message was displayed instead when trying to play a duel. The message text there is not ideal and we are working on improving it for better understandability. In case you see it again, please try starting a duel a bit later or check if relogging in helps.

The delay in Group Leaderboards ending was tackled too and we are continuously monitoring the situation. We are sorry for any inconvenience and interruption this caused to your playing experience.

When it comes to the PvP aspect that was discussed in this thread, the only duel that's not a real PvP is the intro tutorial one for the purposes of better onboarding Managers to this new mechanic. All other penalty duels are fully PvP between Managers from different countries.

@onionjoe76 thanks for sharing your impressions about the timer running out and the opponent scoring regardless. What Liger explained here pretty much sums it up:

If the shooter initiates the shot right before the timer hits 0, it will look like the shot is late because of the time it takes the slider to go.
You are correct @onoinjoe76 about the shot being an automatic miss in case the penalty taker's time runs out and there's no input from their end. Maybe there's room there to make it clearer for the defending side when the penalty taker missed to take a shot within the timeframe, to avoid confusion of this sort. We'll take this back to the team as a suggestion.
