4 hour sector protection reset's are completely idiotic. Gvg will have no purpose at that point, there will be no chance to hold any land and protect that land, I would like to see the inno developers sign into the game every 4 hours when they have to protect their virtual GAME tiles EVERY day, 7 DAYS a week, 365 days a year, yes even on Christmas or whatever their big holidays are. This plan is not productive at all and whoever thought of it should be moved to the basement with their red stapler.
What inno should do instead is make multiple instances of the gvg map that has a specific 24hour reset time, allow guilds to participate in X number of the instances... so lets say your guildmates would like to participate in 2 gvg map times for their availability of lets say 6am and 8pm allow the guild to participate in those two instances and if your worried that some guilds pick 3am reset time just because no one else did you can reduce the crown values of tiles per how many guilds are participating in that reset time, or limit the choices to like 4 total time instances, I mean at least have 7pm est, 8pm est and 9pm est because HEY the usa does have at least 3 time zones!! Inno going to let their employees take 30minutes out of their time to play some other game during work hours?! or you want your wife or husband leaving the dinner table to go play a game?!
Next up dont change how releasing and insta bubbling works, this is another bad move to change #1 it removes strategy for both the defender and the attacker. #2 this should be expanded upon, allow protection credits to protect guild tiles when chosen to spend, these could very slowly accumulate or whatever but if your gone for 1 weekend every few months or its Christmas and you would not like to deal with the losers of the game (they know who they are) you can use your credits to protect the tiles for those cases, obviously it should not be possible to always protect, but would be nice if you can protect for 8hours or so during sleep times as well... lol i mean typically people in the USA sleep too, do people in Europe not sleep?! I mean dang, could reuse tavern silver for this or something, have it so you can donate tavern silver to the treasury and spend it or as you hold tiles you accumulate defensive credits or defensive boosts.
In addition inno should reduce siege cost for reclaiming tiles in which the guild owned and a trolling guild harasses, it should cost less for the guild to reclaim their established territory from these trolls, off the top of my head ghost guilds might be a problem for this but could prob think of a solution.
To reduce the lag during reset times consider using caching there is a large amount of needless data loaded often when switching eras and loading the armies etc
