Stupid Port Timers

[Grimbeard]

I'm sure we all have our own opinions on this however for PVP and conquest aspects I recommend a strong look at the functionality of the port battles. At this time on US PVP2, as I'm sure it is on other servers, the whole port battle timer is unacceptably broken in my opinion and it goes both ways. For example, me being a US eastern player on a US based server, I don't think that it is fair game play mechanic wise that a clan from another nation who is across the (Real)world in a different time zone can capture ports undefended then set timers at 5AM US Eastern time which makes it difficult for myself and most of the US based players. The same goes for us being able to set timers for our prime times and locking out essentially captures from those players in other countries. The port battle aspect needs to become an overall event with a longer time or open times. The current system does not work well for a good portion of the player base as most are adults with full time jobs, families, and real world responsibilities. Some alternatives that myself and few others have come up with is a 24-48 event style capture which gives ample opportunity to realistically defend a port. (Now i don't think this should be acceptable if a port is a lone port on the opposite side of the map.) Another possible option would be to make it 2 capture windows, 4 hours in length and 12 hours apart. I would be interested to see what other players and the developers think of this and constructive conversation.

Oh lord here we go again.

As for what you said, your NATION is responsible for your ports, not your clan. Organize with other glans.

port capture was a broken mechanic in the first place.    they need to change it. that all i have to say.
