Why can't bidders have an option to select which day they "prefer" to have their attack TW on? It wouldn't be guaranteed if multiple ppl chose same day, but right now a lot of servers have stagnant maps, and I think this would be an easy way to at least help keep the maps rotating.

Not only would guilds be able to coordinate their attacks more efficiently, there may be guilds whose members don't want to spend all Friday night doing a TW...

Right now there are too many people who don't get to participate regularly in TW's, and the best guilds have players who mainly have friday and staurday nights free.

Players in TW-owning lands end up with lots of coin and don't care as much about gold inflation, meanwhile players who can't TW or don't own land get weaker and weaker in comparaison to TW-owning players...wouldn't it be better to see these lands change hands more often?

It just doesn't make sense that an "invading" party has to invade at a randomly specified day instead of when they are ready. Imagine if the D-day invasion had to be "randomly" slotted to be either on June 4, June 5, or June 6 O.O

    Soooo in other words, a gank?

    Hmm perhaps a time slot could be thought of, but then factions will most likely to pull off ganking. However I only know TW on Heaven's Tear, We have a colorful mapb:thanks

    I know on other servers, the maps has a majority faction. Not sure about the whole faction-monopolize-land deal so well. If a faction does stay on top, it will only refresh its player-base usually. Perhaps yea, PWi should create a solution to it, but the otherside of this argument would QQ. lol

    You can already gank now, 3 bids on the same faction results in a triple TW day for defender...it's just this will always happen on a Friday night unless a ridiculous number of other factions also bid.

    Actually, this would minimize ganks. Only small factions would do it since big factions can go without, and would be flamed if they planned ganks.

    I personally think its stupid you cant choose time and date, not because of ganks or anything. Alot of the factions dont do TW simply because its usually set on an impossible timezone, like if alot of ppl work on a certain faction and battle being set at midnight sunday. If the faction had the option of choosing fri/sat night or even sat/sun during the day, it would be alot easier. Besides, it should be up to the attackers to schedule their own offensive.

    Whats funny is that east asians cant play, yet TW is set perfectly for them.

    TW bidding should have at the bare least 4 timezones to choose from (6h apart) and which day so that every faction can participate at the time/day their population peaks. PW would get ALOT more interesting, get alot more income since players that are left out of the event would be able to (and might become payers with it) and would solve all the "1 faction owns everything" issue, since i doubt their members would stay 24/7 around to defend multiple attacks.

    Ya.... they'd be flamed.... cough* arma cough* Dreamweaver Server, Armageddon, Equinox and Dynasty the 2nd,3rd, and 4th strongest factions have been trying to gank Calamity for weeks. Funny thing there, they are the factions that do the flaming. They flame flamers so much the server is now red.

    b:lipcurl Thats why we keep getting sunday afternoon and saturday afternoon TWs even when we have no bids on us or our opponents. b:surrender Those TWs suck when you are geared to fight at night.

    Yes, and why not? The way it works now, if you can defend 3 lands, you can "defend" the entire map. This makes sense? Why shouldn't factions be able to ally and plan a coordinated, multi-front war?

    To extend the original poster's D-Day analogy, TW is more like if the United States called up Hitler and said, "Hey, we're planning to attack you sometime in the next few days. How's June 6th work for you? Oh, you're busy with Britain that day? Well, the 7th works for us too. Oh, France already took the 7th? Fine, fine, the 8th then. Whatever is most convenient. We wouldn't want to put you out. Just let us know when you're available."
