Hugo van Grojt Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 To whom this may concern, Since discussions on port timers windows in other "war threads" have been prohibited by moderators - this thread shall serve to inform the interested parties of the port attack windows for the Swedish ports during the current ongoing war. I shall only post the information - anybody is free to form their own educated opinion on the Swedish port timer strategy based on the facts. Anybody is free to engage in the usual "light forum PvP" flaming, if you so desire. I shall refrain from commenting in this thread. Hugo

Lyric Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I have a lot of love for you Hugo, but making a post dedicated to flame wars is helping take this community the opposite direction to chivalry, civilty and courtesy. They're only using mechanics that the game allows them. Enough said. EDIT: Though those timers are useful, thanks Edited April 1, 2016 by Monkey Bullet 3

I am simply anticipating that the usual flaming might happen. I am not encouraging anyone to do so, and shall personally not participate in any discussions. My opinion concerning the topic can be found elsewhere, I have nothing to add 2
shockheaded Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 They're only using mechanics that the game allows them. Enough said. Yes, and this mechanics is wrong and if the devs do not do something then they will lose players.
Thonar Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Port-Timers are the counter-tactic to Zerg-Tactis.It helps smaller nations to fight a bigger opponent with more commitment. It is as much a valid tactic as mass-attacks are. 1
Spiffy Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I see a southern window between 20-22... That must be for attack... Hugo, would you please post the dutch port timers as well, so we can all go here for planning our war efforts? o7 Edited April 1, 2016 by Zpliff
Vaan De Vries Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Such thread should just finally maybe persuade devs into PB system rework. I would rather have better designed PB system then Earth in port battles. Currently the game should change it's name to "Naval Waiting and Flaming on Forums", cause there is almost no Action part anymore... Edited April 1, 2016 by Vaan De Vries 1
Stilgar Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 With the present flows in the conquest mechanics, I am inclined to view the current Swedish tactics as in-game trolling. The problem is that as far as I can see, Swedes do not intend to keep those ports as part of their expansion strategy. South is just PvP play ground with home lands (reasonably) safe. Again, quite clever use of mechanics and admittedly good execution, but still in-game trolling to me. If Swedes do not have numbers (as they complain) to hold to all ports they have captured so far in the South, they should retreat a bit and hold to 3-5 ports they have numbers to defend, and put some reasonable timers on those ports. Then they (and all parties involved) will get good PvP they seek in the South. If the Swedes truly intend to expand in the South, then I will take my words back, but not before I see clear indication to that. 3

Hugo, would you please post the dutch port timers as well, so we can all go here for planning our war efforts? o7 I cannot view them in port, but you are free to include your daily update on our timers here as well.
Guest Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Not complaining And yet, reposting our timer list again and again wasn't enough, now an entire thread is dedicated to it. It's looking an awful lot like complaining, but hey, as long as you don't admit it people must believe it.

It's looking an awful lot like complaining, but hey, as long as you don't admit it people must believe it. As I understood Hugo this post is not for complaining, it's just for the information. Because Sweden timers are very weill dispersed throughout the day (no offense) it's good to have one place (that is regularly updated) to check for them.
Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Thanks to a member of this community ALL port timers, from ALL nations, across ALL servers, are ALWAYS available for consulting in a very simple and elegant way. http://navalports.mdb-dev.es/

Manta Scorpion Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) the Zoutman timer is a bad joke, i hope its only because today it s the day of all jokes and it will be better tomorrow rest is legit for me Edited April 1, 2016 by Manta Scorpion

chappy Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 i play between 10-12 i reject your assertion that setting a timer to that period of the day is trolling.
Conde Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Whoever has the shittiest timers, wins. Port-Timers are the counter-tactic to Zerg-Tactis.It helps smaller nations to fight a bigger opponent with more commitment. It is as much a valid tactic as mass-attacks are. Timers don't help the smaller nations at all, specially when the bigger nation(s) use these timers in such a way that those small nations can't retaliate. Small nations can't set timers out of their prime time due to the risk that comes with it. i play between 10-12 i reject your assertion that setting a timer to that period of the day is trolling. The majority of the playerbase are either asleep, at work or at a place of study during that time. 10-12 is another way to safeguard your timers indefinitely without looking so scummy.

Conde Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 or it just happens to be when you play and wish to have content just like everyone else that plays this game... For the majority that's unlikely.
Wang Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Ohh Chappy dont you know? We are suppose to set timers for when we are sleeping to give other people content in the game! We aint suppose to put timers on that we want to defend, we must set timers that firstly are on when we are sleeping, secondly in the exact prime time of our enemies. If we dont then thread after thread of national news is filled with salty tears. 1
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Hethwill got it on the first try. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/12764-pvp1-swedish-port-attack-windows/page-1#entry231282 Please use the Port Battles thread to discuss port timers.
