Corona Lisa Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) What do you think is the best timeframe for it? I would like 13 - 21 server time. Its a pretty big timeframe to include as much players as possible without the possiblility of nightflips/dayflips.

Hethwill Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 14:00 - 23:59 UTC else you simply cut the legs to both the East and the West shares of EU community. East plays earliest timers, West plays until later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have to rethink, you will NOT be able to log out instantly. What if the defender can still rally enough ships to engage the remaining ships of the offensive force? Yeah you are right, i forgot that you have to somehow sail back after pb... Can you enter a port you just captured or is that only possible after server maintenance btw?

Okay. Let's make it ALWAYS at 20:00 then. no interval of time whatsoever at least a third of the population might be able to play one day out of three... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Inconvenient battles will never go away entirely without being too exclusive, but at least it'll be way less extreme than before. Let's not jump in at the deep end as with alliances, instead start wide, test and then see. Things to keep in mind. - Hostility buildup grace period of 1-2 hours before and after cut-off time (PB can still be set up, PB will be set at the cut-off time instead. (Ab/using it to stack multiple PBs might become a problem) - Separate weekday and weekend timers (ideally workday timer - friday timer extra late - saturday timer extra early and extra late - sunday timer extra early). I'd say something along the lines of 14-22, if necessary constrained to 15 - 21. Edited May 15, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 In before "EU-West", "EU-Central" and "EU-East" server split. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sveno Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Reposting this from an other thread: Well, i think for the Euro-server, CET (with daylight savings) should be the median. Now, i would agree with 17:00 local time open RvR, so that early birds and youngsters can enjoy the game fully. This would translate into 15:00 servertime, for weekends, i would suggest to open RvR with the server restart. Guys with families might have the first chance to play at 21:00, so open RvR to 22:00 would make sence. This would translate into 20:00 servertime (again, talking about CET as euro median). My two Öre about PB times... Edited May 15, 2017 by sveno 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are longer, but the PB can also go over the PB timer; the only thing which has to be within the timer is the start... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ironic, since supposedly there's no problem with the current one. 37 minutes ago, Otto Kohl said: Yeah, enjoy playing on 100 people server. Yet even with 600+ players, people still didn't want to stick around on a "global" server when finally given a choice in the matter. On another note though, how do ya reckon the pirates will be doing after the wipe? Don't know if you were represented at the server meeting, EU players were promoted to only join either GB or US to find other EU folks, and as I understand it pirates will no longer be able to craft SOLs? Seems a bit rough, but at least alliances are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z4ys Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Russia and GB (soon) are not EU they shouldn't be considered when it comes to timer. It's supposed to be an EU server and not an half global server. Edited May 16, 2017 by z4ys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallsOfSteel Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Most of us from PVP1 not based in europe are going global when the wipe comes, we want no restriction on timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If dont like timers go play on global no need to throw some bullshit in here I just wanted to help. Because it seems to me that including Russia and GB is not an easy task. They are both to far away timezone wise. Even Russia has a lot of time zones. So you guys want divide Russia. Everything behind Moscow to China is supposed to be global? We're you wanna draw the line? Don't know why you are so mad? Edited May 16, 2017 by z4ys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a time proposed that everyone agreed to? I cant see one. So when there is no agreement then the timezone difference has to be smaller and that is why I did suggest to exclude Russia and GB. You can disagree but you dont have to be mad. Edited May 16, 2017 by z4ys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 To all: If this going to be the old flametrollfestletssplitandspit or are we all going to discuss proper solution without trying to squeeze as much as possible each other's playing time ? Get yourself together sailors. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Maybe it would be clearer and easier to have a multiple-choice poll of, say, 16 or so UTC time slots, and people vote for the start and end time that they think would be ideal? And with voter names shown, since as shown not a thread goes by without global folks butting in with their silly remarks like a scorned lover.
