Last update on the Camelot server we had a war that was cut short by an update (received lost and reset the influence). Now tonight there is another update during the Brightwood war siege timer. Yeah last time we got our declare money back but it’s incredibly frustrating spending hours to push the territory and not be able to fight in the war because of an update. Push the update back 30 minutes?

I really REALLY think they should allow the current territory owner and the vanguard to agree to a new siege time ± an hour or two and change it before the war begins. This would solve a plethora of issues.

or just put them on hold to the next day. i think that was on the docket of the big ptr stuff wasnt it?

some companies are wising up and putting their siege timers at 11pm PST to coincide with updates so it’s a free war win. Just feels bad all around

man we’ve been asking for this since closed beta. They update at the worst possible times more often than not

This has happened a few times now on Camelot, and twice with the same company on defense. Just parroting this that it’s very frustrating having 10+ people waste at least 2 hours pushing to have the war interrupted by a previously unannounced server shutdown.
Please consider making sure shutdowns happen only outside of siege windows, even half an hour after the current shutdown time like others have mentioned.

Yo AGS it’s frustrating, this is why people are quitting this game.

This has happened multiple times, it’s extremely disappointing to those who put the time in to get into a war that gets the shaft due to AGS needing to do maintenance, which could easily be held off for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow for the war to play out.
Note to AGS… do your maintenance during NON PEAK PLAYER HOURS!!!
Pretty easy way to keep your already dwindling player base happy!!

Please @Luxendra! look into this. Our company members spend countless hours pushing influence only to have this same day announced patch cancel all the hours we put into it. It really sucks!

going to throw in the stupid decking system too.
we do 70% of the work and some random company pops in and does 20% and gets the deck. the hell.
not only that but the fucking shell companies. have stolen about 4 of our companies decks too. (also whiffed all the wars)

It may help for update days to ‘blank’ the 24hr period for the update, so any push etc on that day happens for the next one (I guess all composite with pushes for that day). Either that, or just disable them, if renegotiating isn’t on the table (I could see them wanting to limit that for the sake of shell companies).

I was in the most intense OPR camelot. 970-900. They baron capped us a bit ago but we held 2 points. It was going down to the wire and the server crashed due to maintenance.
I thought updates were always shown in advance? People were very disappointed. Sorry for your war.

This is about the time invested, not the gold spent. Camelot is not the large server it once was, pushes like this take a lot of effort and time from not that many people. Last time this happened, 15k was refunded, but nothing more. That push took over 8 hours for people to complete.
You purposely run updates during times where people have siege timers. We shouldn’t have to organize as companies to schedule pushes around your potential patch windows. You shouldn’t even have it as an option.
Question: How many companies have a 2-3AM siege window? What about 5 AM? Schedule the patches for those times, if the patch overlaps with a siege window then, delay the patch on the individual server, move the war back a day, do SOMETHING besides NOTHING.

It’s like they don’t respect your time, huh?

This is another reason why I want wars to be open 24/7… pushing influence and capturing forts really doesn’t hit the spot… There should be a separate zone where it’s just open 24/7 for everyone who wants to participate.
War shouldn’t be “Hey guys we hate you A LOT, but how does this time sound for an invasion? oh that doesn’t work for you? how about this time?” no… it’s WAR, you’re supposed to just go and thrash about the lands.
DAoC man… they did it THE best when it comes to wars, sieging, defending.

AGS obviously knows about this issue and clearly they either (1) don’t care or (2) are siding with the territory owners to choose the war time, even though it is an easy “exploit” to overlap it with an upcoming update. It’s not like people don’t know it’s coming, e.g., [Wartungsarbeiten] Patch 1.5.5 - Official News / Offizielle Neuigkeiten - New World Forums
Why would the territory owner agree to this? It’s a easy “exploit” to avoid one war every week.
Just delete the whole player-controlled settlement mechanic. It has no end of issues, loopholes, and exploits.
Removing player control over settlements means you don’t have a handful of players deciding when a war can happen and you don’t need AGS limiting the number of wars that can be declared.
