I agree with the basic concept but 2AM shouldn’t be on the table. Attackers should get to choose their window from the pool of reasonable windows that already exist.
what does business hours and sleeping hours have to do with gaming hours, why should the handicap you have affect others. i know most gamers nowadays are adults, but he has a point. Imagine back in medieval times, when a settlement would be under siege, you really think the defenders was like , ok guys listen up attack between these 2 times and then we can defend it at our best! hell no they would just come and ud have to face it. OP makes a point and i think that simple shift of giving the attackers the right to pick a time and date can lead to some intresting developments. And less powerhousing company’s defending everything all at once.
Ps. im 32 and i also got bills to pay 
but im not entitled enough to tell the rest of the world to wait till im out of work or done sleeping lmao (in short, thats a you problem)

Check out the edited version of the thread starter. 
i mean… timezones are a thing… your 2 am is maybe not my 2 am.
I know your trying to smoothen it for them to make it acceptable for the nay sayers, but in reality you are so right about this that u should keep your stance on it.

This is 2022, not 1722. Bringing up this argument makes you look like a contrarian moron.

It’s not entitlement to expect the game to be designed with the barest minimum of consideration of the average life patterns of their players.

Then play on a server where your 2AM is the server 2AM.

i mean if that comparison doesnt make u see how dumb it is in current state, then i really wonder who the moron is. Tho i’d hate to be namecalling you (at least i got the balls to say my opinion if its not the mayority’s opinion)
yeah i get the realism thing. yeah wars are often fought at whatever time for whatever advantages you could get. but this isnt real life its a game. and besides if people want to moonlight war related stuff they could be pushing influance at till 3 am if they want to.
but gating the big event against the majority of people that cant afford to not sleep for work the next day is probably not a good thing.
and im sort of an exception as im west coast playing on east coast. i totally could have the advantage on 2am eastern wars.

Making the comparison is dumb. We aren’t medieval peasants being called to war by some landed knight with a grudge to settle. You know what else they didn’t have in medieval times? Axes that ripped fucking holes in spacetime. Fire magic. Ice magic. Not having to shit ever.

It’s not courageous to be an idiot in the open. It just makes you another of the million overly confident idiots that doesn’t know when to shut up.
“Look at these people protesting the vaccines! How courageous they are to be fighting to kill hundreds of thousands of their fellow men!”
Ok, imagine it’s 2022 and a war is in progress then look at the rest of the statement in the context of right now. I edited to suggest a 10PM- 6 AM block on war scheduling, but he has a point that - no matter the era - letting defenders decide when they will be attacked makes no sense and has simply never existed as a thing. I know this isn’t real life, but still - it’s an odd model to have decided on.
Ok, while I completely agree with this sentiment that’s a massive can of thread-derailing worms you just opened there.
i mean i agree with that, that its a game and it should be accessible for people. but litterly saying like “dont war while i work” goes a bit too far. Sure middle of the night i get that one. i can def compromise my own stance slightly as i can see that point. but work? cmon. take a day off or make your money. wars are litterly being scheduled ahead of time. atm in siege window i could set my defense to your work schedule in theory. so tf
Just add a war fatigue debuff. It’s been said several times.
You defended EF for your guild Space Munchers on Monday?
You can’t defend WW for Space Münchers on Tuesday.
Simple
without realising it i think this pretty much negates the entire argument of attackers should not pick time while i work. lol why does defense get to do that then? in theory that would block out any attacks since you guys are working during siege hours.
And does absolutely nothing to prevent a multi-company mega-corp from simply splitting up the prime territories while still using the same hand-picked crew of defenders to hold them unless attackers can coordinate simultaneous wars.
its a sad state of affairs but i cant afford to take days off and im sure many dont even get days off. ether way, the point was 2am is a bit late for everyone but during day time even if its in the 8 am to 10pm is fine.
that was my only concern. id like to put more consideration for the workers that need money to live/burn in the cash shop but chances are those are the people that will be doing wars in the first place and they will probably schedule it for a time that most people are naturally on anyway.
the odd hour people are an exception to the rules.
i rlly rlly hate to be the ice-cold asshole im about to be. But that is your problem. why should that affect me? someone who can take a day off.
Once again i rlly rlly hate being this cold. and i have nothing against you.
Best part is, i am a defender currently. and i agree with OP.
What do you mean? You basically do exactly that. The same hand picked players can’t fight twice ^^
doubt (jk). but also im not the only person that cant take days off.
and take a look from AGS perspective.
you really think they are going to design the game only for extreme people? its amazon. all they do is broad appeal.
they are going to make sure its accessible to “everyone” even if the grind is ridiculous.
Sorry, I missed the point that you want to exclude players from defending and assumed you were talking about companies, my bad. I assume you would apply the same restrictions to attackers?
taking a day off is far from extreme. in my country for example you can take days off and still get paid for them. (as u save up free-days)
you would be surprised the extreme lengths companies and management goes through to make it extreme.
