hours of attack

In my opinion, this would be great for you, however, the player in Europe you are up against would get a very bad deal.

Being a worldwide game, means you have to set up your country so that an attack during the night will not wipe you out before you have a chance to counter.

if the hours specified dont agree with your time zone dont join that game,

this doesnt mean that a game creator cant opt for a 24,7 attack game

Very bad idea. Game runs 24 hours a day and it has a slow pace. It is designed that way for you to be able to leave the game for many hours and still not be destroyed while you are away. However, it does not assume that you will not be attacked while you are away. It is your job to make sure that your units are positioned is such manner that you can be sure that they are safe up to some point until you come back. You can never be 100% sure what will happen, but it is part of the overall strategy, very important one.

bad idea? is it not better to react to an attack as it happens,

in my experience, fighting off multiple enemies from around the world was only possible due my non schedule after surgery, one of my adversaries commented, out of frustration, that i was never logged off

cant see how anyone could be successful in this game and have a job and or social life and i wont join another round while going to work 8+ hours a day

awful idea, game runs as it is. I dont think you would see Rommel going " here listen, dont attack us at 1pm, we are having lunch early today. And same applies for thursday at 4pm, now we are having a movie afternoon

okay well obviously its not like that, but it just takes the fun from the game, and the game is fine the way it is.

I dont have 24/7 access , so you plan ahead, on how you will manage when you are away

Poor idea, methinks.

not upset, just pointing out the flaws of the arguments given thus far,

So, to sum it up, you did NOT point anything, and yes, you did bring in some unrealted politics stuff.

So, I plannend Operation X for several days, i've got twenty divisions ready, my navy is moving in and the fly boys are up in the air- but when I click attack i'm faced with "Player is sleep/working/studying/crying and isn't attackable."

It doesn't work, this game runs 24hours and thus, you have a duty to make sure everything runs fine. When I was at school I made it a priority to have units in certain areas to stop and invasion, I have never woken up in the middle of the night because of a video game.

The Idea has its heart in the right place, but it wouldn't work. I understand how you feel, but we can't change a major part of the game so we have hourly ceasefires.

here, this doesnt show the part where he says, vote trumpand i see where you guys dont like this, you dont like when you attack and somebody defends themself

sorry no movies thursday, or ever, due to lack of content

You are aware this is a war game.. right?

and BTW, you join a world map, with 100 players, so they are all now meant to log on at different times, and only then they are allowed to attack?

which means, one player From Jamica and another from Australia all have to log at the same time.. And guess what, not only is there a time difference. But some players have work at 9 some have work at 5 some have breaks at 10 some have breaks at 3..

This awful idea, is awful..

Yea, that must be it. Perhaps everybody who wants to attack you should inform you few days in advance and to tell you exact place and time of the attack and verify with you that you are able to be online and ready in order to make it fair to you?

the hours would apply to every all involved, and i guess defending isnt important according to you, that only reinforces what i said about you thinking that a fair fight isnt what you want, you would would play a 2 player video game with no one on the other controller, wheres the fun of that

Why do you want a 'fair fight' you're here to win, not to shake hands and hug.

Look, I'll say it one more time- your idea isn't going to work, its pleasant idea for making this game 'fair' or what ever, but would slow this game down alot more. A world map simply wouldn't move with this function, and thus would render the best map in the game unplayable.

Fair fight is exaclty what I want, but that is hard to maintain. Someone has more skill, someone has more free time, someone uses gold or has High command. It is hard to find balance between those things. I often find people who use last two things I mentioned having advantage over me, but I don't whine about that. Perhaps you should play the game if you like it instead of crying here.

Para is one of the best players here in CoW, he knows his stuff..

but wouldnt it be easy if i had the hours you guys were logged off, this thread might actually develop into a productive discussion, dont join a game like this, comment on a different thread, we've heard these baboon troop arguments, i'd like to hear from anyone else, cuz i wont waste any more words on personal slights, these comments dont look like any of these commenters comprehend the suggestion here, that is, join a game that agrees with the hours that dont interfere with your work hours

Gen, you fail to recognize that while other players can attack when you are offline, you can attack while they are offline. A feature blocking attacks at certain hours will take far too much strategy out of the game, without giving back much besides for making rounds into much more "turn based." There are a lot of turn-based There are a lot of turn-based games out there. The 24/7 battlefield is much more interesting.

Sorry, but this is the worst idea I've heard.

What about realism? That you can be attacked at any given hour.

What about strategy? Attacking at night is a brilliant strategy, and it's not like you can't defend yourself. Use deep defensive tactics, if you are worried about being overrun on your coast.

wrong, i do realize this, and have used it to my advantagei am noticing that many of you out there make false, or poor assumptions of other people

Your idea, in my view is one of the worst I have heard, and am just really surprised to be honest, that anybody would even come up with it.

I dont have all day to be playing, and I find ways to still be able to withstand attacks, even while off line.
