The issue is that it might work for US as an example with multiple time zones but enough countries ain't that wide from their eastern to their western borders to have multiple time zones to make it work. An hard lock is probs not the best solution either but came up with Grepolis since it's also 24/7 open for attacks. With a penalty for night hours to discourage such. Quite similar to the wish for GbG to have something in place to make nightly attacks less likely

If it is going to be called a Tourney then it should be a Tourney, like any other Tournament known to me it should be #1 vs #8 #2 vs #7 etc. and then at the end the 2 left standing fight for #1. We waited a Looooong time to face the #1 guild and got nothing and players are not happy. We have faced the #4 guild 3 times and the #3 guild 2 times, BORING. It's broken, it's why I registered, to point out a deficiency in the game.
What’s the maths with 4 boards, 2-3 with 7 and 1-2 with 8? We usually get 29-30 1000 lp guilds in my world.
Because there are those crying for the lack of war times. Than there are war times and they're crying they have to stay up 24/7. To discourage nightly attacks extra attrition could be a thing. Extra attrition during night hours is a soft lock. A hard lock would be extending the protection time from 4h to way more. Which would make the slot exploit even more powerful
Either one and I would leave the game since I play at night mainly and so do many others. Sure it is only 10% but I doubt Inno wants to alienate 10% of their customer base.
No. Because there are genuinely people who live in different countries but may play on servers that are mainly active during other times.
Did you guys actually read the context? This ain't about penalising anyone. This is about solving concerns for burnouts of guild leaders. Read this;
The above is the context. Not penalising anybody. The times I've mentioned were concepts to illustrate the possible framework for the solution.
Can you provide data to back this claim up? Like official data provided by Inno that 10% of the active player base is only active during nightly hours?
Just refer to the context. This has nothing to do with players from other countries, playing by choice at servers from countries with very different time zones.
I did refer to the context. You want attrition gain during the night so leaders don’t have to hang around in the game 24/7. So, let your night crew play the game and lead their own stuff, why should they need to suffer because you have no leaders assigned from their time zones? Or, gasp, give rights to all your members, problem solved. However, for less attention needed overall, I like the thought of longer protection times for sectors. 6 hours would be ideal for me. Even 8 would be fine. Since not all sectors are taken at the same time, it should over time give everyone something to do, like it does now, but with less frequent need to keep checking.
