Battles will now also terminate before the reinforcement window closes.

Am I misunderstanding this or will battles that start at example xx:40 or xx:50 terminate at the end of the reinforcement timer even if there's a battle going? xx:30 and earlier battles wouldn't really be affected as they usually end before.

Just to update on this, the note we got said reinforcement timer but I've clarified with the devs and it's now the battle will terminate an hour after the scheduled battle start time, not reinforcement window.

Clarify a bit more, this is from my understanding:

Battles that take place but no one in it is deemed invalid and will close within an hour.

From that it tells me people could still lock districts (the top 1% of DUST Corporations)

I hoping that I completely misunderstood what you are saying. If not then I have one more question, what was the true goal of the hotfix according to the higher ups?

PS: not whining, complaining, and or etc.. Just a consumer wanting answers.

A battle with no one in it at all will automatically count as an attacker loss with no refund of the clones or clone pack. While you can still technically lock a district, you can't do it profitably any more.

We're also looking at some other changes to the system, but I'll share the details of those once they get locked in for a later deployment.

One last question and I will shut up and wait for 1.8 to drop. What happens if the attacking side enters in at least one guy but then he leaves just to preserve the clones/isk, what would that do?
