    The longer the Tw the more actual balance those two teams have...though tw is a joke it needs more than a base vs. B base and crystals..need some checkpoint areas to be taken would be nice...and until the check points are taken...then! The crystal will be available to be attacked...maybe have two check points but both would have to be taken over by a team to get the crystal open...something like that would actually have better squad play in this dumb game.

    Unreal Tournament 2004 has some maps like that(Onslaught), second best kind of game imo,losing only to MMORPGs.

    there is MMORPG with a war like that?

    IMO all top factions disband except for leader, and then leader pick teams = automatic balance. But of course that'll never happen lol.
    Lost City Cheze Refining Service. Save up to 40% of orb cost for refines up to +9.

    To loose a 3h TW can be ugly but had some good ones also. TW is the main-reason besides the games social aspect I play and improve my char, skills etc.

    => 3h Loss> 5min roll

    UT2004 Onslaught mode = best game mode ever. I played that daily for nearly 3 years...
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Absolutely the best tw i was in did last 3 hours, and our crystal was destroyed few seconds after the war, but it would have been a great war for me even if it happened few seconds before wars end. Obviously 5 minute wars dont have any substance.

    3 hours makes my brain hurt 5 minutes feels cheap about 90 minutes and I am usualy content win or loose proving my faction mates have put effort in.

    I pick 5 min TW and winning definitely b:chuckle.

    When a TW lasts longer than 2 hours or so its just not fun anymore, specially for European players when its 4-7 in the morning. Than its more fun fixing a rot canal at the dentists really. During those 3 hours TW when its 7 AM i usually start to loose track of place, location, time because i haven't slept yet. I run into our own base thinking im gonna Barrage the Crystals and wonder where everyone else is. Fly into the rival factions all +12 DDs by myself because i cant find B5 on the map and i dont even know where my party is because with the map lag it takes 5 min to get real location of the green dots. Just doing hopeless and stupid stuff, and everyone in vent just sounds bblehblehblehble and i have no clue whats going on.

    Best is a 1 - 1.5 hour TW really and of course winning is always more fun. Loosing means some people will get butthurt and start blaming each other. If i lived in the US i would probably enjoy a 3 hour war way more.



    QFT


    For european player TW usually happens on 4-5am, so a 3hours match would end at 8am without having the chance to sleep...and then turn into a vampire that plays at nights and sleep during the day.


    What i like most is 1hour TW that you have to struggle in every manner, win or lose.

    Btw im still a TW noob, have less than 10. But i experimented 5min and 1hour+ battles

    ...i guarantee you, YOUR CHILDREN WILL NOT SEE THE DAY OF YOUR WHITE HAIRS...GOODBYE BLUE SKY (and PW too)

    And what does one learn in a 5 minute TW... On either side? Absolutely nothing. It would take 36 weeks of 5 minute TW's to add up to one 3 hr one. Do you want to learn how to TW.. Do you want to learn how to be a cata barb or a cata cleric? Do you want to know how to be effective on the snipe squad. How about tactics and strategies. How to change them in the middle of battle.. There is no place to learn or practice TW except for ...in a TW. Give me a 3 hr one all day everyday. Besides I need to practice my sleep and paralyze on seebiscuit more...bwahahahaha.. That barb is beast...

    i agree that at about 1.5 hours it gets tough but 5 min tws are horrible and ruin factions. on sanct here back before the map reset, 2 factions left on the map, and one used 5 min tws as a way to break the spirit of the other. and it worked, infact too good, as it broke the spirit of their own faction as well.


    5 min tws are horrible and losing isnt that big of a deal. seems most factions are forgetting what tw is about.


    Not the coin but the fun

    Three hours is a bit too long for me, life would get in the way, so I chose the 5 minute winning. Also, to be honest I like winning...And free stuff from my faction leader...A lot. ._. Yay for free mold weapons each time I grow out of one?

    i vote 5 min and lose.... NOT!!!! after over a year in my faction i have not goting anything from TW........5 min win, so i can get on with digging herbs for next twb:shutup
