Weekend wars
So we had every 5hours war with auto
then
every 4 hours with auto
then
(for 1 weekend to help with event, you removed auto and gave us 6 tokens)
then
it reduced to 3 tokens
Are you planning something and this is one of the steps to bring in a new game change or what is the reason for the reductions?

Re: Weekend wars
You forget we have repairs =P
Re: Weekend wars
Before you had salvage available after 4 hours cooldown. If you get sunk right away, you can push in 6 tokens in 24 hours - without any repair. With a little floating time you'll only really get 5 tokens in that 24 hours.
5 tokens x 80m HP is how long you can stay up warring. And you had to be online every 4 hours to be able to get the max from it. (Sleep more than 4 hours and you'll miss it!)
Now you have 3 tokens plus repairs. 3 tokens x 80m HP x 2. And you can plan it when you can play and not just go because it's available even if it's in the middle of the night for most of the players.
In addition small clans have bonus tokens if sunk in less than 3 minutes. So small clans can get 3 + 4 tokens, plus 80m repair on some of the tokens.

Re: Weekend wars
Honestly, this does not add up to excitement as it becomes a pattern already. We war with the same system everyday and now, we war on weekend like weekdays. Tyler, consider some difference between weekend and weekday system so we can always look forward for something more exciting during weekend.
Re: Weekend wars
LOL..
It's more exciting to wake up in the middle of the night to war again 4 hours after sunk?

Agree. Imagine rushing to war 4 hourly & login to findout u just miss token by 5 minute. Or u login & after wait 1 hr for good chance to rez u get trap & sunk in 2 minute. 4 hourly wait 1 hr to rez = weekend no life. 4 hourly suicide & sunk in 2 minute = better not to play.

it is a good summary, yes i agree. Our PM players took the "night shift" hours and they were not warring during the weekdays so it was a bonus for them. Our AM players "timed" our 4 hour rez cycles out of the super clan zones so it was not really a huge problem for us. But i am not defending the cycle system (although we adapted) and i agree with you on the control of the tokens (current war system). We asking for 4 - 6 tokens that our PM and AM zones can cater for the players.

Its not mandatory that you war whole day and whole night. We all still have life. What im trying to say is, there should be difference between weekday war and weekend war system. Its not exciting if you have patterns even in daily life. ;)

I really don't see that salvaging after a 4 hour cooldown or salvaging when you set a time that "everyone" can make is going to be any different game experience. You war in the same way anyway. Only difference is now you have control of when you want to war, instead of it being determined by when you sink etc.
I see your point about variation and doing different things. So we ask for even more events to have different things to do?
December has both Grand Maelstrom Condition Zero and Outpost Skirmish. Two very different things from regular clan war. I think asking for even more events will break a lot of AP banks, though..

Re: Weekend wars
Also, did the requirements change for rezzing forts? Or is it the same as it used to be? I.e. less people required to be active on the weekends

The requirements to rez forts for weekends are also following weekdays requirements now as well.

Me thinks that should get changed back to the old weekend rules.
