Change Zone control timer.
« on: September 17, 2014, 01:12:03 PM »

20 minutes is wayy too long, people just wait around until the last minute to show up anyway, and if they arent ready in 15 minutes they are just noobs.
most factions deliberately wait until the last 2-3 minutes to attack, so lets waste a little less of every ones time, and shorten the zone control timer to 15 minutes.

I agree, 15 minutes seems enough time to organize a defense force.

I'am surprised that noone yet has suggested to decrease the timer, considering time you need to organize and distance, 15 minutes is a reasonable amount.

I guess we might change that as soon as we change the way the timer stops.

well I do wonder why it's set to stop once an attacking force is dead, before timer go to 0. Currently, say BB are taking a zone and Vtek is preparing an attack, but some other small group of Vteks decide to take matters into their own hands and enter zone. Now if they die before main attack force arrives, timer will stop and BB will win zone. Doesn't seem right. Then again it might be annoying to have to wait 15-20 mintue each time

i personally like the fact that it gets captured when a team dies, makes more sense really.
the name of the game is pvp, not sit there and wait.

So yeah, don't want this post to get buried, and 1 month later we are still waiting 20 minutes to capture zones =/
