In real life noone stop you to start a war in christmas only reuptation or bad press. Why shoud CCP play "god" in the game and stop this. I hope ppl will be polite enough to not do it.

But in real life they DO stop wars on high holidays quite often. It's a game where they made it cake to take away what could cost years to acquire, that's why CCP needs to change something.

Just to be snarky... if it only takes a day to take it... and one holds rightful claim to it... couldn't they then take it back the next day?

If they've got the muscle to hold it the other 364 days a year why do we need dev intervention for that 'one day'.

Otoky makes another point though as well that you may have skipped over. The reasons for it in the real world is 'pr' related and has nothing to do with a magical barrier preventing us from assassinating kim jong on christmas.

Do I have to show the examples from the 20. century when someone started to attack (or war) when the enemy celebrated something religious?
Nah, google it. You will be suprised

It only takes a day to do it if no one is around. That's why it's silly. Even the druge like walmart have to pay an arm and a leg to force people to work holidays, and this is just a game.

But it's also a an attempt at a 'sandbox' mmo. And by design, in a sandbox, you want to give the players as much freedom as possible.

If someone attacks on a holiday, this could be spun on the forums to ignite a 'holy war' and have them wiped off the face of the game.

The other part of dust that will immerse and has been for a long time in eve is the politics.

Some would argue that most major swings in EVE were due to political mishandling..

That goes right out the window when you accept the PC mechanics are 100% arbitrary.

the corp will live :p there'll always be someone on :p

Considering this is a game, perhaps CCP should lock districts when it is a national holiday for 500M people or greater? No production, no attacks, no defenses, just days off for RL to come first. People shouldn't be losing a year of progress for not being available on a mass scale for 2 days in a row.

Agreed. As much as we love playing this game. We do have families and friends.

People also have jobs, school, sleep... In essence, everyone has other commitments. Can't cater to people who only want to play on their free time. Just because you choose to go on holiday, or spend time with others, shouldn't detract from other people wanting to play the game.

Well i know, it does get stressful after a day or two. But don't mistake me for the ones who would only show up weekends. If i had to think for myself, i'd do so and keep playing with 3 alarm clocks on. But this isnt about me or just one person. The op has a good suggestion. He is only asking for PC battles to be on seize. Not the entire. most posters here sound like, they play PC only, all day, every day

Again no. It's a terrible idea. PC is the nullsec of Dust currently. If someone else has the balls and capability to attack on a holiday, then suck it up buttercup.

HTFU or get out of PC.

PC isn't supposed to be some gentlemen's club. Dust, and PC in particular, should be as sandboxy as possible. This means the players make the rules, not CCP.

Even better then, players can decide not to attack each other on certain days. Or not!!! Let the QQ threads begin after that.

To be absolutely fair, you do have 24 hours notice on a PC battle. If you see the timer, and realise that there'll be a battle on the holiday, but still choose to go on holiday (the better decision imo), then that's entirely your choice. It's a case of priorities. However, allow the teenagers and young adults who don't have plans (or plans for the full day) to play PC if they want to.

Nope. HTFU.

just no.
