Denied Changing 6PM event time to 6:30

[List 34]

What your suggestion is: Make the 6pm planetary start 30 minutes later

Scriptfodder/workshop link:

Any additional information: The change is pretty minor and more of a quality of life suggestion more than anything but I feel this could help with keeping players intrigued.

With the way events are currently set up the gap in between the 4PM and the 6PM event feels very short, on the other hand the gap between the 6PM and the 9PM event feels very long. Here are some pros/cons that I could think of off the top of my head.

Pros

- Makes it easier for EPs to collect for the 6PM due to less event fatigue and a good amount of people go afk for 30min-1 hour after the 4PM.

-  Could lead to many newer players experiencing events as they could wait up to around 2 hours on prime hours to play an event. (not including time to get cadet trained so could be even longer) This could over a longer period of time increase playercount.

- Allows more time for training and tryouts between the 4PM and the 6PM, as it stands if the 4PM event runs late and with map swap you could be advertising at CT debrief while EP is collecting.

Cons

- One of the only real concerns I could think of was how events were set up this way so players could balance both IRP and CWRP. But I feel we are at a place where very few players play and balance both through this.

 

I know this was a decent bit to write about changing an event time by 30 minutes but I was pretty bored. I could have just suggested this to event management but felt it was better to put here to see what the community thinks. Please comment below what you think!!

List has stated most above, however i will add on to what's already been said. 

With Jedi and Clone events being separate, there often isn't much time after the 4pm before people start collecting for the 6pm, meaning there is very little time for things like trainings, you can swap map at 5 ish, after debriefs, there's only about 10-15 minutes before an EP will collect. This can also lead to less EC's and an event possibly being cancelled.

Not as many people balance both IRP and CWRP anymore, so it wouldn't be a massive issue in that sense.

I dont think its a "must have" change, however, i do think it would benefit a lot of people including myself.

I would say changing it back to 7pm would also be an interesting option

I definitly agree with this, as the pause between 4pm and 6pm is quite small, especially if you want to do a training.

I would prefer some more downtime, so l don't have to load into the server after the 4pm event only to see like 15–20 minutes later that an EP is already collecting. I would like to do some trainings aswell.

In the case wiht players who play both CWRP and IRP, as stated it is really up to them to figure out how to balace it.

CWRP has the earlier event time because it generally has younger players who get off school earlier, and prevents overlap of events between different W-G servers for intraspecific competetion - instead interspecific competition against other potential servers, attracting more new players to our server instead!
