HQ Downtimes set for 5 minutes

[Lusche]

The irony is strong on that one...

You want to show some tactics? Show me some that involve FIGHTING instead of HIDING

As a ROOK I applaud Hitech fix on the HQ down time.

I am more than positive that there are PLENTY of Knights and Bishops that agree with this quick fix as well.

Somehow I can just tell that there is someone furiously working on a video (using the famous Hitler meltdown scene) with vTWITv in the starring role.





please please please please please

Do you even play anymore, where do I hide? WTF are you even talking about?

How ironic.

Personal attacks are funny
Here is a good example of grief causing play, I just killed a whole set of lancs that attacked our city while landing. I took joy in knowing he was not going to have his name in lights.

The future of this game is new people.

If adjusting the HQ down time helps keep new people to stay to become long term subscribers, then so be it.

I am certain that it is just a quick fix until the udpate.  HTC is, or has, made changes in the update, I'm sure.

All the effort for 5 mins down time? Wow the whines must have been loud on this one. Yet another piece of strategy gone from the game. We should just have one map with a big 3 way furball over a tank town. 

Define how it is strategic? In my personal opinion as well as many years playing the game, killing the HQ doesn't really help one team or the other. If people logging off is your method of attempting to win the war, than that is just selfish and will ruin the idea of the game for many people, thus ruining the game for you as well. Most of the time, the team who kills the HQ doesn't take any more bases than usual and coordinating a team effort to capture a lot of bases while the HQ is down happens very rarely. The only strategy in killing the HQ is to greif other players into logging, and this is not what you want to see in a virtual air combat game, where the majority of people just want to dogfight.

Whiners have once again succeeded in neutering the game, in order to make everyone else play the way they want.
IMHO poor choice Hitech, but thanks for the hard work you do.

HQ DT is still affected by the status of the City Strat.  It now means that if you want it to actually hurt, you are going to have to hit the City Strat good first before you can hit the HQ.  Can consider yourself lucky he didn't just switch it back to what we had before HQ DT was affected by anything.  Thinking it is now "wasted effort"?  Ha!

1. HQ downtime should be still up to 125 minutes. Neutered?
2. If anything, the single unstoppable NOE HQ raider is "making everyone else play the way he wants".
