Port Conquest timers

[Capt Nathan]

i will start my post by saying i am expecting a lot of none constructive reply from players about this post and it may just seam like a rant but stick with it.

 

I am starting to get a little tiered and annoyed about the comments in chat about PVE care-bears not helping out in defense etc of ports. Well i play like most on PVP eu 1 and being from the uk and a working adult how can i be expected to play the game at 1-6 am my time to help out with ports as the US player on the ''EU'' server keep sticking port timers at a time that excludes 80% of EU players. If this is intentionally done then is very underhanded and is taking a big aspect of the game away from a lot of player.

 

My suggestion to make it more available to all  and to allow more of the eu player base to play in PVP ports is to set 2 times a port can be taken.  maybe shrink the time it is open for but if a port timer is set to a time then it should be mirrored 12hrs later allowing 2 times for attack. 

 

I know many will now post 'but how can we keep and hold all these ports if we are not here'' or ''if we take a port they can take it back 12 hours later''..... well have a 24hr cool down on a newly taken port. 

 

what will help with my suggestion is the new crew mechanics posted recently stating that crew will be like labor hours only so many a day etc. so if a large port battle happen many are sunk they may not have enough crew for next fight etc which works both ways. 

 

Feel free to add constructive comments and/or suggestions please.

Please use an existing thread for suggestions regarding port timers.  I'd recommend responding directly to Admin's latest potential feature feedback thread in the Developer forum.

 

Thank you.
