HQ Downtimes set for 5 minutes

[Wizz]

Well how about this one

Log into game and the arena message states that HQ downtimes are herby reduced to 5 minutes

I'm happy

Good to see that HTC recognize that HQ-down started to become more a problem than a game feature.

Approved

Thank you, hitech.

I'd like to point out that if the connection to City hasn't been cut (which I don't believe), the HQ can still be down for up to 125 minutes. Though somehting  like 30-90 minutes should be more typical.

Wait no you can't be serious??

5 minutes is still an improvement even if it is still tied to the city.  This means that if you want to blind a country more than 5 minutes you have to hit two targets.  Much tougher to do.   Well done HiTech.

5 minutes? is that daylight or standard time?

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.

Effort?  Strategy?

That's not what it says. It says he's logging in to make sure it's carried over a map reset.
Else there would be no reason for him to log in daily in the first place.

There is a lot of strategy that goes into these long gv runs. Whether or not you put any stock into that is up to you.

There is a lot of strategy that goes into these long gv runs.

Only a tiny fraction of HQ deaths are by GV.

But yet causes the most amount of whining?
Do you have a spreadsheet with the data on bish whining to HiTech to adjust the game?
