Foo Fighting Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 234	Posted - 2015.04.04 20:11:00 - [1] - Quote For EU players wanting to play FW before 10pm it can be very hit and miss - mostly miss in fact. If anyone wanting to play starts to queue at the hour or the half hour there is a much higher chance of games actually starting. This way at least we can get 2 games an hour with a quick bush or coffee between. Synchronise watches.

(Just don't all go on to amarr vs. minmatar cause they are the only ones that are up.)

You was talking about the 00.00 estimated time when you go on FWs right? The 00:00 estimated time is the Dust Time/US Time is 7:00 pm our time. I was telling you that's the time people would be able to get onto Factional Warfare (FWs). EX: Dust Time > 00:36 - US Time (Real Time) > 7:36 pm

If you're searching for FW and see 00:00, you aint gonna find a game, as no one is playing it on the other factions. Ive queued for 45 minuted on Caldari FW with LHughes and we never deployed, around 15:30 Eve Time. Also, Eve Time = Greenwich Mean Time. So for us Brits its either the same time as our clocks, or 1 hour behind when we're in BST like right now. Most Europeans are 1-3 hours ahead of that so we struggle to find FW matches until the 'Muricans flood in at around 22:00 ET. This thread hurts my head. Its like several different conversations going on simultaneously and nobodies listening to anyone. "Dench stop hitting your head you Caldari pinball" - m621 zma Currently on Dust hiatus.

Don't tell me it's 00.00 estimated time, tell me it's 1min and I'll wait as will others. ^^^^ This. Ignoring the clearly ******** replies to this comment, I totally agree. The 00:00 timer has conditioned players to think that there is no chance of getting a match. All it takes is enough players queuing. Once upon a time we could get FW matches less than 60 mins after downtime because players had the confidence to queue for a few minutes and get a match. Now every one is conditioned to think 00:00 means no games are possible now and "FW doesn't start until 'murica o'clock" so there's no point trying. All that is needed is 16 players per side to queue and bam .... FW is up.

Foo Fighting Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 238	Posted - 2015.04.05 14:55:00 - [11] - Quote Forget eve time forget the 00:00 timer. If everyone who want to play queues up at the hour i.e something o'clock and half past the hour i.e. half past anything the chances of finding a battle are greatly improved. There could be 100 people currently wanting to play, but if each person queues for 5 minutes then gives up at random times chances are 32 will not be queuing together and a match won't start. So ignore the timer and queue each half hour it will work if enough people are there.

Why should I have to stay up past midnight as a Euro player just to play in what is essentially 1 3rd of what this game has to offer?
DanielCM TO THE DEATH 14	Posted - 2015.04.05 21:35:00 - [13] - Quote I partially take that back with not being able to create our own battles but I think we'd need a threadnought from true or aero about choosing to attack certain districts while organising eve support. Dreams I guess.

Queue up at 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 7.30pm, midday, half past eleven etc. Any time you choose - so long as it is half hour intervals. FW will start as long as enough people are willing to play atany given time. All I am proposing is that we synchronise our queue times. Please, someone help me out - am I making sense here?
DanielCM TO THE DEATH 14	Posted - 2015.04.05 21:44:00 - [15] - Quote I know you play regular. Where the **** are you getting these times from?
Foo Fighting Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 238	Posted - 2015.04.05 22:09:00 - [16] - Quote I'm not giving any specific time. If 32 people anywhere in the world want to play but some queue at 5 past and others at 20 past and some at 10 to, a game cannot start as there will not be 32 people queueing together. If however, they all queued up on the hour, a game would start. There would still need to be at least 32 peole queueing at any given time. Another way to look at it: If you fancy a game and it's 18:50 - wait and queue at 19:00. If you fancy a game and it's 14:17 - wait and queue at 14:30.

The majority of people don't check the forums, so inviting people to one chat channel will surely be easier to manage?
