Remove night time

[Turboflex]

I dunno about EU but on NA we have had issues in the past with people basically trolling by putting night time during prime time. Now we have a major faction (probably the second strongest on the server) making a policy to put it up at 10 pm eastern (7 pm pacific) which is basically right in the middle of NA prime time.

What exactly is the point of night time if people are going to abuse its' intent like that? Clearly it's to cover people during non-prime time, not jam up prime time when the majority of NA is playing and when it's easy to fill up 50 man rosters.

The devs should just remove night time entirely, cuz using it just clear late night or work hours is clearly a concept not being followed.

Night time should be used to prevent attacks on ppl that cannot make it at that time. So u can put it when u are sleeping or when u are at work or any other time u cant be there. I dont see the problem. You cant prove they are trolling and u cant prove they are not. Its a game mechanic like nerfed archers and we all need to live with it or seek a new game to play.

Maybe removing Prime time from night time would work too. Meaning, Prime time > Night time, no matter what night time is set.

Prime time means something different for everyone. When you have a large clan like chevaliers occitan, and they all go to bed before midnight eastern, doesn't that mean they are acting accordingly to their prime time?

Was introduced to make sure NA and EU wouldn't murder eachother with advantage (primetime for one is impossibru time for other) afaik.

Seperate maps kinda kills the need for nighttime.

Though i still like it

I really cherish and love my rare hours of sleep. Strat should not be a game for nolifers. And for that reasons nighttime should stay.

But your mom and I only get together at night time, don't take that away from me

When a feature is abused more than it is used properly, it needs to be removed.  Changing you night time while under daily attack is abuse.

So people are complaining about not being able to fight at prime time... But they want to allow fights at any time of the day/night and possibly completely ruin strat, more than it already is. Hm.

If you put night time in prime time you are forcing more outside of it (or not to happen at all).

I believe someone said you are also an east coaster, so what would you consider prime time to be?

I think it's the same for everyone's time zone depending on their commitments in the day.  For people who work a normal job (say 8am to 5pm) then prime time would be 6pm to Midnight.  But midnight is when battles need to be ending, not beginning.

damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I think it would be better to have a set night time for fiefs and keep the current night time system for your own character.

If you attack a fief between 5pm and 12am there is no reason why the battle should not take place at that time. The majority of players play between these times, therefore if your fief gets attacked a member of your faction can still control the roster and lead the battle if you personally can't make it.

That way you can't troll your fief by having 'night time during prime time' or attack a fief when you know they will be sleeping/working.

You will still have your personal night time which you can change around your own schedule.


ALSO if others don't agree with the set night time for all fiefs I think it should at least be advertised. When you attack someone you can see their night time, why not the fief? In fact I think it's more important to be able to see the night time of a fief than the night time of an individual.

Are you aware of the concept of time zones?
