at the present the factions have the choice of either weekday or weekend ranked war start dates

 

BUT

 

the start times are calculated by the system based on the activity of both factions.

 

In theory its a good idea but factions are made up of a lot of ppl all around the world and using this calc can mean that certain locations never get a fair shot at  a rw.

 

 

 

i propose that the start dates stay the same BUT the start times could be

 

 

 

 

1.Completely random, literally making it unfair on everyone.

 

This way everyone gets a shot (literally) also it would force a rethink of strategies in a stale war system. it would be unfair to everyone  but also fair to everyone if that makes sense

 

 

 

 2. Rough start time

 

As with the start days, the times could be similiar, with a choice of say  Early AM, Early PM, Late AM, Late PM based on UTC and the system works out a median.

 

 

 

Always open to a different idea?

 

THIS SUGGESTION MIGHT GET SOMEWHERE OR MIGHT NOT, BY UPVOTING AND REGISTERING YOUR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE CURRENT SYSTEM YOU WILL BE HELPING GETTING IT CHANGED.

In case of a termed war this isn't an issue, but in case of a real war with a fairly fair match, the war will last atleast 24 hours which will give fair and unfair advantages for both teams which makes it balanced imo 

I vote leave it as it is

 

At the end of the day you can't make everyone happy although the first option does make sense in some cases

 

Also the auto enlist option caused some issues which shouldn't happen, imagine will all these options available, the pressure on the leadership will be immense and still not everyone will be happy

I just want the option to war earlier in the week, honestly. It’s either late in the week bleeding into the weekend or the weekend.

You had me at the option that "makes everyone miserable", which sure does have a sweet sound to it.

 

However it goes though, ideally if the war starts at a super unfair time for you, either there's some crazies in your faction willing to stay up late for the war start, or you've hired a Merc faction to take care of you while you sleep. 

 

.... Alternatively you could make someone with a sick sense of humor irritated enough with your faction that they'll Merc you for free - although this could backfire and lead to them mercing the other faction for free.

Would option 2 not be another matching-making burden on the system. Finding facs that want same time, above all else that already gets taken into consideration.

already discussed extensively. 

The system is also unfair against Asian dominant factions vs ones with more members from the American continent, one having a huge benefit over the others (the more west your membership base is, is the better)

as much as random seems to be the best option no leadership would like to wake up at 4am their time for war kick start so I don’t have a good solution to the problem. Taking average of both active times is the worst solution overall though. 

Mentions: Start time of RWs favor certain time zones?

i completely with all points, there is never going to be a completely fair system but if we can get 250 votes we can pressure ched into making a few changes or at least trialing them.
