Why does Aderyn's night time settings have to include nearly all of primetime... No one wants to fight at 6am man.
Since this is diplo forumn.. Can I propose setting normal nightime so we can have some good fights in NA primetime please.
-
Probably because he is EUROPEAN! You also deserve it, since you're raiding a village!JK no one deserves a 5AM CST battle, I wish it showed the night time of the village. (the owners night time)Best of luck Bale! Hope you like waking up early!
-
think my nighttime was set to 4am my time :( you don't have to attack around midnight EST y'know... :(
-

This is false.

I'm glad for the time Aderyn, make these americans have to get up at 5am to fight a battle for once like I have to if I want to play in any NA battle.

Or you guys could, you know, play EU strat.

Yeah, damn us for wanting NA battle times on NA strategus.
-
To be fair, as much as people deserve to play in their own timezones, people also deserve to play with friends across the pond too.
I hope both sides gloriously slaughter each other in good fun, best of luck.

True, but I'm sure Euro's wanna be up for their battles, besides I've seen my fair share of NA guys with god awful no fun Night times.

Man up.
(I was just trolling really, but it is nice to have a large battle that isn't 2-6am for me on NA servers for once, its your turn to set the alarm clocks now :lol:)
-
amen zilla.
aderyn you are clearly awake and playing.. we attacked around before 11 pm est.. prob closer to 10

not me bp. 10 pm i was cool. 6am no thanks. rather lose the fight then my wife.

The sad part is, I screen shot people whose night times are ridiculous! I even, to not be biased, took them of people I like. I shall be saving them until the moment is right to share it!

There is no way I'm waking up for that either!

Always good to keep your priorities straight.
As for me, I'll try to lead my army tonight while running a fever with strep throat. Should be fun.

100k cRPG gold and I'll merc at that time. Not a copper less.

(I know)
Problem is it's going to be both sides trying to recruit as many EU players as they can rather than wanting to wake up at 6am. Both sides relying on mercenaries that have nothing to do with the NA map. It's just dumb, but a necessary evil when non-NA times are set like this.

screen shotting peoples night time setting maybe take a break? You know unplug?

Does someone have to make a thread every time they attack someone on their night time?
-
YES!
-
Didn't you guys just attack someone at 2 AM EST?
-
2 AM EST kind of sucks. 6 AM is just terrible.
-
we attacked a town. Can not see nighttime settings. 2am est is generally still ok for pst people.
Also I posted about the nighttime settings and the guy I posted about was online and responding to the post. So his nightime settings were set during his play time. I am not saying anything bad happened. Just sucks that we are trying to get good fights and schedule them dead center of primetime (10:30 Pm est) and it gets pushed to 6am instead. Takes some fun out of the game. Add that to the intense server lag after 20 mins of fighting, is sucking the fun out of it for me.

What if he felt like staying up late one night?
-
haha maybe zilla... But Ad is a really good archer so I notice when I am fighting him generally.. my play time is nearly set in stone and I see him often enough for it not to be a one time thing
-
Buncha cunts complaining about battle times and they go and do shitty times themselves. Also not sure why you are complaining about an EU having his night time set for his time.
Didn't you guys just attack someone at 2 AM EST?
They did in fact attack me at 2:20 est. That is probably a decent time for some west coast and not so bad for them but its wicked shitty for me and a lot of people. If they did this on the weekend at 2 that would be different but this is on a school/work night for a huge amount of people.
-
open field fights the timing gets difficult. Because part of the equation is to catch up to the person. So unless you can get in touch with them and say... hey would you mind stopped or moving towards me to fight at a better time... it is not always possible to do those at the best times possible.
Fief and city fights can be set up tho and it sucks when you go thru the trouble to have it auto push to 6am
I think the idea of the nighttime setting is a good one. I just do not think it works that great in practice. I sort of miss the old strat where you attacked when you wanted. At least then you knew when the fight was going to take place. You could also call out those factions that were doing crap times on purpose. With NA and EU split the nighttime settings might need to go away again and try things without them
-
People who work day jobs are typically not able to fight battles at 12am CST.

-
I agree. But it is also a whole lot better then 4am cst right?
also open field fights again are a wild card. You are forced to attack when you catch up to the person.
It would be cool if all fights auto set themselves in the attackers choosen time.
-

Something extra like this could be cool, at a cost to the attackers (portion of gear, troops, and/or gold lost to initiate the feature). Ooorr something more creative. Less total spawn flags, less battle time.
-
This battle is at 12:00 CET on a weekday, a horrible time for EU as well. Most people will be at work/school/university.

Nah Its pretty much the same for most people. I wake up at 7am est, so pretty much anything after 12 est on a weekday is unplayable. Doesn't matter if it is at 2 am or 5am.
-
If you are on NA, in a NA clan you should use a NA nightime. You are not fighting but yourself, but with your clan and more importantly with your community.
The way I see it is if you are not able to be at your pc then those times are your nightime. I can wake up at 4am, i cant skip work or school at noon to fight a strat battle. Although It might take a whole strat fighting Mercs at 3am on a regular basis to agree with this. :p
The real problem here though is just strat times in general. Its seems over half of our big NA battles have been on lame times (my factions inc) even though it is not the intended result. Any "big" battle should be reserved for primetime slots no matter what their iniated attack is. Yeah there will always be an aderyn or that grave yard shift guy that misses out, but strat is for the community to enjoy, and these current battle time features hurt the community.
-
Agreed Hobb, that's how most of our faction should have their night time set to (during working/school hours).
It would be nice if there was a set "prime time hours" for NA and all battles or sieges only took place in that window. So you can catch that open field army at 2:30am, but your battle will happen during a prime set of hours.
Talking about terrible night time settings FCC guy (MURDERMANIA) who just came out of sungetche trying to chase me (he won't catch me) has night time from 19:00 to 03:00
That's PRIME TIME HOURS HOLMES

I will talk to him about it. no idea why his are set that way..
I would love for things to be more civil. Try and have a war with less drama more fighting. So if any of you hosp crew want to pop in TS sometime to try and talk over some good fight times that would be fine with me. The open field battles i am not sure how to address honestly. Other than a change in the system itself.
-
Does anyone notice that its always the same people who complain about the way others choose to play the game? Freedom of choice is a bitch isnt it? You better not play the game the way you want to, you better play the game the way I want you to or Ill bitch and moan. Pathetic really. How about this, your opinion doesnt mean as much as you think it does and if you dont like someones nighttime that much then dont attack them and save yourself and the community the trouble.

We attacked his fief... does not show nighttime settings was not complaining.. Was just hoping to put big fights in good time slots.

Actually I'm just struggling with GMT conversion. I wanted to set it for when I get out of work, but I got a bit confused.
Mine says this, even though I'm set a -6 GMT.
"Starts at :00 GMT 3 and lasts hours."
Why does it say GMT 3?
-
TBH make your battles from 8am to 4pm EST and I'll be there for almost all of 'em. that's my NA primetime Aderyn. I'll sign up for as many as I can.
-
i'll push my nighttime to 5am or 5.30am... or maybe a random number between those two? but if you want to attack me, attack me before 5am please so i can participate and move afterwards =)
also:
You cannot update yout nighttime 2h before or 2h after the current sleep time
ergo: it havn't been changed yet since i got home 2am :/
-
Look at all these normies and day-walkers trying to keep the night man down.

i have like 6 of my guys that have their nigth time set like gmt 2 or 3 but we are all the same time zone and well i had to do the math to give a try and set it properly :) really hard stuff. but yeah chadz should put the same time zone as the crpg website setting....
-
Very close battle. 2 more minutes and we would have had it. Good fight to everyone involved!
-
Great battle indeed, the last stand was a nail biter.
-
Wish I was able to make the fight. can someone link it please. hopefully next time we can slot it better. Any what is your night time set at so we can have it during a better time slot and not get pushed to terrible am hours again
-
As an EU guy who went through NA strat, I can't really blame a person to not want to stay up 'til 5 AM to catch NA primetime.
I haven't had a single strat battle between 12 PM and 9 PM so far. Most EU fights I did was 9 PM to 1 AM. The NA fights happened 12 AM and 9 AM.
Never mind staying up late the day before to initiate the fight in a decent NA time.
-
Is there a war going on or something? I haven't been around a whole lot so this forum is where I get most of my news and I'm seeing a lot of Hosp battles but no thread. I hope this isn't the thread 'cause this is p. weak for a war thread.
-
I guess FCC is still considering their declaration of war against us from a month or two ago as the declaration (there was a 2 or 3 week period where they backed off and left the steppe) but now they've come back with thousands of troops and marched through the north, and are marching into the steppe from the east. So much for NH closed borders
-
Was a really good battle =) Can i expect more visitors tonight? Should i put on the coffee for you? :P
-
Just let me know what your night setting is and we will visit again. or maybe visit that juicy city
-
I'll get that night time figured out and let you guys know. I'm all up for a better time because that was brutal for all of us. Most of our mercs were half asleep. I was up for 32 hours at that point.
Is BaleOHay the one to look for?
-
Thanks peppo... we can be civil about it. we are attacking because strat needs fights. nothing personal. i for one do not hate any of u guys. hope to have some good fights.
baleohay on steam if u want to talk anything over. I am only one of the guys but I can talk to everyone and try and keep it more fun
-

you can see nigth time on the map on the carater show nigth time. just saying i usualy ask my guys before attack someone but that me. sometime it is true strategy wise to attack no matter what but still you can see it on the strat map.

I think bale meant the night time setting of the aderyn's fief, not his personal settings. Most likely the same, but if you can't see aderyn on the map, you can't know what they are.
-
exactly egan. I know its Ad's fief but since he is not traveling around I have no idea what the night settings are. We attacked at a perfectly nice time last time. 10:30 PM est roughly and it was pushed to 6am. No fun to be had with fights like that. We would like to try and keep things as close to primetime for fief fights as possible since we can pick thr attack time. It sucks to wait for hours to pick a nice fight slot and still have it pushed to a stupid time. We would like to avoid this. Open field battles are much more difficult to arrange since you are forced to attack when you catch the person.
It would be very nice to catch a guy and you can then pick a time that works best... as long as it did not fall within night settings of the person. Maybe in the next strat something like this would be possible.
for example.. I chase egan and the attack fires at 1am.. it pops up a box with the available fights 24 hours from now you select what range you would like.. it checks against egans night settings and server availability and thats the fight you get. Till something like this is added we can just try and be friendly about it so no one is losing sleep for strat.

I like that idea! And as for being civil, I agree and its great to see, We can fight on the battlefield, But outside of that its great to be able to talk and joke around.. Its like scrapping with a buddy at a bar, You duke it out, Then have a few beers afterwords, where as before it was like a catfight between two women (No insult meant to the females) But you would scrap, and hold a grudge for years, while your eyes bled with hatred while all along holding a fake, but very transparent smile just waiting for the next opportunity to slash someone's tires..

Never called that off. Other things just came up at the time.

No fun to be had with fights like that.
Fibs. I had a blast.

if there was any doubts.... i changed my nighttime settings yesterday.

Seriously guys??? Peppovitch stepped out of his fief and has a nighttime setting of 6 pm pacific standard time to 2 am. He owns tulbuk castle. You really are intimidated at fighting us at primetime where we can both have a full roster??? Or are you going to suggest peppovitch is also a european player or that most of hospitallers actually sleep and work based on asian time??

Maybe he's bad and doesn't know how to work it.

Besides they'll have plenty of good mercs at prime time too! It's not like you have tons of god tier mercs that they're afraid of.

Like Blackzilla already pointed out, Peppo did not know and was fixing it, And I'll even jump into the fire and say I checked and mine was set at an odd time (18:00, now at 01:00), which is weird cause I could have sworn I fixed it a month ago, But alas Myself and Tulga are set to a normal time.. Not that I want to see anyone knocking on my door other than the regular brothel lovers, but if swords are to be drawn they can be done so at an acceptable time slot (Which if it was up to me would only be between 6pm and 10:30pm EST, as I need to work and keep an income to keep the wife happy and off my back while I do play)
But all clans are guilty of it, mainly just not knowing and understanding, But I do assure you that it is completely unintentional.
-
thanks for fixing the times. I (and my sleep) thank you.
We are actively trying to fix the people in our faction.. IF you would not mind doing the same that would be appreciated. Look at the battle map. Unless we are doing stuff nothing happens in NA.. So this world needs the FCC!! but the FCC does not need shitty fight times.
