Update on Siege War time adjustment?

When the Thepit did his meeting with the US guild leaders he said that at the production meeting the following week he would bring up the need to fix the current Siege War time slots to better accommodate US guilds that have members in a variety of different time zones (or at least ask them if it was even possible to fix it)

It has now been several months since this meeting was supposed to happen. So i was just curious to see if we could get any update on whether Gameforge is working on a solution or not.

At this point even a "no, where never going to fix it so stop pestering us about it." would be nice... at least that way i could stop getting my hopes up .

Oh, please, I'd love to know this as well! We've lost people due to the siege time change, I'm not saying anything new here, just want the gm's to know that we all still would love an answer to this.

Yes please put the time back, our guild is split in two. Not that we have any semblance of a siege strategy anyway, :lol:

but it would be easier to pretend to organize something if we had our full crew together again. :dash:

yeah... so.. i'm not letting this go i know none of the gameforge people that post on the forums can give me an answer off the top of their heads, but the thing is, someone in gameforge knows if the US will ever get a fix to this issue.

so if a forum green/blue/orange could kindly pass this along to someone who could give an answer, that would be greatly appreciated .

Honestly of all the things going on in RoM, this is the #1 reason why I'm not on as much.

well still no reply... does anyone still work for gameforge?

but seriously, if my first request for an update on this issue seemed too complicated to be carried out by the forum staff, could we at least be told if thepit ever even brought it up to the production team like he promised? at least then we would know that they are aware of the issue.

it should be a simple yes or no answer, so shouldn't be too difficult.

I know most people would like a 10pm est siege again but I doubt this is a pressing problem for them. If they do siege every 4 hours and they scheduled one at 10pm. All the guilds that like 8P.M siege will be in here complaining. Right now we have midnight and 8pm est. If we move it 2 hours we have 2a.m est - Not east coast friendly, 10-pm est only acceptable slot and 6pm est-possible but thats midday for west coasters.

At the moment if most of your players are on the west coast you should siege at midnight. If most of them are on the east coast you should siege at 8p.m. We siege at 8 because its more convenient to do a instance run like Beth HM afterwards than before.

Being an east coaster... really I don't care if they change the time. 8/12 or 6/10 I think is perfectly fine. Part of me thinks that the 10 would be better for us, just because 8 feels too early and 12 is way too late. That and we have Pacific coasters in our guild. THey cant make the 8 pm one easily, the midnight is fine for them... but man does it wreck us east coasters.

To me I think 10 would be a better time to have it again. That is however... just me.

Well insteaad of continuously posting on the forums, it would be better to write to support and ask, the guys on the forums cannot really help you with this, or go to IRC channel and ask them there.

This really shouldnt even be a problem to fix.

10pm eastern worked for all the US time zones. Right now a guild basically has to pick between a time that is convenient for people on the east coast or a time that works for people on the west coast. Why not change it back to the time that works for everyone??? Seems like a no brainer

Amen. 7 is too damn early and eleven is too damn late. Nine was PERFECT. It just baffles me that they would add so many new times but take out the old siege time. And it shouldn't even be a difficult fix it's beyond crazy that it still hasn't been addressed.

My Opinion is that they do not move the seige timing back to the original because then everyone would try to seige at that time, and the server would go bonkers....and it would have defeated their concept of multiple seige times. Something that they probably jumped through hoops to get implemented.

We do not have to lose the 7pm and the 11pm siege time, just add the 9pm. C'om on man.

Can't say for or against, all I can say is that I have not sieged since they added the multiple siege times.
Current times are either too early or too late for me.
10pm central time was perfect, at 11pm I'm ready for bed, Earlier times, I'm too busy or at work yet.
