1.) Quoting to show the original post

2.) Kujo you know I have respect from you, especially during the 2nd EoN war known as the FEC vs. EoN. But you know as much as I know that locking districts were always a problem in Planetary Conquest. Recall that 2nd war when I was in Red Star, We were on defense and offence every single day until we actually grown tired and need time to recover. What was the only way of doing that? Locking up the district.

It is even worse post 1.6 update going into 1.8 (if we ever get that patch in time _- -). I would see districts on MH locked daily to prevent anyone from attacking them. This also could be the one of many reasons as of why some of the newer corporations do not want to partake in pc.

Another could be the alliance you are in. Recall that people did not want to partake in PC back then because of the alliance the Imps were in, a little earlier would be EoN with Teamplayers when they had their A-Team, and now it's you and the Renegade Alliance. In other-words they are intimidated by the power of the alliance. Reason being is because they know someone else from that alliance would just attack them right back to take the land back. It isn't so much of having the testicular fortitude but more of already foreseeing what would happen.

There are some corporations that just jump on the bandwagon because they want to roll with the best to avoid being attack by the best (a.k.a Nyain San and I hope I spelled that right. I feel the following would happen; If NS were to obtain so much power or enough to overthrow anyone they will back-stab who they feel as a threat to get to the top and at this time it is AE. A little fore warning. Not trying to start flames but this is my opinion based on the fact that NS joined EoN a while back but left when the power was dying out.)

Anyways back on topic, if everyone were to lock their district at the same time day in and out CCP will notice that this mechanic is broken. Not only that but to see a dramatic increase in currency while having said district lock is even more of a joke. Kujo I hope you know what you are doing and I hope you do get the results you want out of this. As always I look forward of seeing you on the battlefield pubs or not.

No way, you set an 8 hour window for downtime.

The other 16 hours are gametime. A battle spins up within an hour and you go to battle.

This would open up Molden Heath. The super corps could still kick ass, they just wouldn't be able to hold huge chunks of land.

Within 6 months or so Molden Heath would have a lot more diversity and involvment.

Way to try for a hotfix during the developers holiday dumbass.

No there normal people who have a new year during the new year.

Why do you feel like a jackass? I'm sure that for every mishap, one could find a way to justify their actions to make it seem legit.

You know, if NS hadn't asked to join EoN, then I could maybe understand. Because they joined NF from the start and maybe they knew some of the players that ended up in AE and that might make sense. Because from the outside looking in, it looked like they joined LOI because NF joined the LOI effort to get rid of EoN.

So, when LOI lost the war and EoN was on top...how come NS didn't rejoin with Who Gives A Flux or NF right after? NS took a few districts from GEN and Rogue Spades. EoN started launching attacks against NS and then next thing you know, Mavado is telling everyone that NS wants in and they will be in EoN. Whoever the diplo was even saying that they joined NF and LOI but they feel like EoN is where they want to call home.

Skip to where EoN started to lose all of its activity......Machine Guns said he got my message asking everyone to band together, which implies that NS was still in the alliance. Why didn't they stay and fight with the alliance they wanted to "call home"? What happened is that TP passed the torch to AE and NS went on the 4th bandwagon in their career.

Of course you think it's a bad thing. It gives you enough time to make sure X number of bad asses are online.

If the elite corps truly want more competition then more corps need to be involved as well as more players within those corps. Instead of qsyncing FW a corp like mine could get 4 or 5 teams together and run PC matches for a few hours.

Smaller elite corps would have to concentrate on fewer districts or they'd have to grow their ranks to keep the land they hold.

Unless CCP wants to cater to the .05% of Dust that rock 6.0 KDRs I think this is a no brainer.

Perhaps have the ability to upgrade your district to raise the downtime from 8 to 12 to 16 hours. Then the smaller corps with higher skill could invest in their districts in order to manage the timers a little easier.

The biggest thing here would be significantly lowering passive ISK generation and creating incentive to attack.
