Improving night time settings and Developers should behave.

So shik, a developer switched his nighttime setting to 8 pm pacific time (hes NA) to make any battle an early morning battle instead of prime-time NA, he did this for his own soon to be attacked army to get an extra 5-8 hours to be reinforced by allies and for the village defense to be at a horrible time slot.

Before this he took advantage of prior knowledge of Pale Horsemen being banned and had 1000 heavily armed army with over 100K in their fiefs the day they got banned for no valid reason being in their territory far from hero_party or chaos' lands and bought up all their S&D. 

This thread is about 2 things - make more standardized nightimes based on where you live and make them longer so 12-15 hours in NA from 3 am CST to say 5pm CST so most people' work and sleep time is covered - maybe slightly later than some people want to stay up and maybe slightly earlier than some west coasters want to have a battle, but generally covering most of the majority's normal hours of work and sleep.

The second thing is that developers should be held to a standard of conduct, not immunity from abuse of game mechanics or prior knowledeg of what will be happening in strategus.

Please discuss.  Thank you.

P.S. Please post other abuses of developers, i.e. accepting duplicated gear, banned players' fiefs and gold etc.

Shik was actually in that area because he was on his way to attack Fallen.  You guys did the exact same thing in plundering their s&d, even taking their fiefs.  No one had "prior knowledge" until chadz announced a ban wave after pushing the buttons.

Who cares what his nighttime is set to.  Does this really warrant a thread?  Close it and feel bad about crying about this.

Actually I wouldn't mind the night time stuff being adjusted, people forget to set it, set it incorrectly, etc and we end up with shitty battles times for everyone involved on both sides of the pond.
Quote from: chadz
No matter how long you guys cry - I will not give in to dumbing strategus down because some people just want battles. If all you want are battles, then play cRPG, not strat. There are other people who like advanced gameplay.

There are ppl who work at night, so they might set their nighttime to your prime time. Also some work longer than others. I for example can't play before 6pm, so my "prime time" starts at 7...
The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight he will fight.

My night time is 4 AM to 12 PM EST, perfectly reasonable. Prior to that it was 11 PM to 7 AM EST - I'm sorry that some people have normal sleep schedules? What is this thread even about lmao.

So the battle at 7 am est, 4 am pst this morning was your "old" setting and you already changed it again after you manipulated time settings to your benefit?  lulz, i think thats what the thread is about. 4 am is a reasonable time for nighttime (not primetime 9 pm PST), but you didnt change until after this thread - I think thats the whole point.

I've had my "old" night time on since the beginning of this strat. And no, I changed my nighttime yesterday because I have more time now on account of holidays, before this thread was made. I fail to see how it's exploiting at all, its entirely bear irl's fault for attacking me past midnight EST. I'm sorry I don't plan on staying up all night for internet horses battles? Besides that, I was moving around the map, so my nighttime was perfectly visible to everyone else. Not my problem.

You just wake up at 5 am for them??  11 pm EST must be late.  Sorry, i just find your responses rather amusing since it seems so unlikely that you just happen to change your nighttime settings this morning, just becasue you randomly decided and not because a thread was started about it.

Also, what about making nighttimes more standardized and longer lasting so battles go during or close to primetimes always. 5 pm EST to 4 am EST so 2 pm PST to 1 am PST only on NA side??  harder toa ccomplish same thing in EU side but would work here.

Since this hasn't affected me or my clan, there is no reason for me to cry.  It is just an observation. Just trying to make the game better.

Waking up for 6 am battle compared to staying up 30 minutes for an 11:30 battle, yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Anyway doesn't really matter - what needs to be changed is the abuse of nighttime settings, which has been done repeatedly and making it more generous than just 8 hours.  Should call it nightime/work time.
