Tynon, to stop a lot of 'anger' within servers, can you bring forward the payout time to 9am. This would stop people 'sniping' others at the last minute when they are in Cerb formation.

Yes!! Please!! I hate it when they do that at 9:45 and I have to change forms again then change back.Quote:

2 full minutes to change gear and runes on 4 heroes and then redistribute some gear and runes? I do not think so. The best U have been able to do it is in 4 minutes and it usually takes me 5.Quote:

Done.
I lied about the 15 seconds. It's more like 25 seconds.
Edit: gear changes by itself when changing formation. you must make sure that you have no extra gear in your inventory and everything will work fine. put your extra swords/staves in the bank.
To the best of my knowledge this is only a problem in UA???
My bank is full and I can barely clear enough space for one set of set in the pack because of all the hero cards that I have waiting to get enough on one hero so that I have a good chance of staining to succeed and jewels that stack that I have waiting to get sets of 5 so I can merge them. Besides that, you must have a lot better hand to eye coordination that I have. My hands are not that steady and i end up twitching some so the double click does not work.Quote:

I have 3 heroes to change out and can usually do it last min when I must UNLESS there is lag ... just screwed then.
Trolls mentioned 9:45 ... that isn't so bad - The A-holes who do that within the last 5 mins before 10 are purposely trying piss someone off.
Actually it doesn't mean more specific moments. It means you can go to bed in battle form, then wake up at 9:30 to change the forms.Quote:

That way there is no need for inventory space.
Just make sure you know which heroes has what gear on and drop the right ones on eachother.
This just takes some preparing and consistency when dressing your heroes before they change to banish form.
i like this idea. would be nice if you don't have to wait till the lasst second and then maybe miss a hero with gear too while in a haste just to keep the rank you gained till banish.
Why not make it at server reset. That makes more sense to me.
No, I'm not doing it to try to get someone angry. I'm doing it so I can get adam faster and get more gold and credits.Quote:

In general I find that others are not that trustworthy, so I battle for the best rank I can get 30 seconds before arena reset. Why set an arbitrary time like 15 minutes before arena reset, when you know others aren't even going to abide by that? Then I have to wait until 9:44 server time instead of 9:59 to do my rank battles. That will cause arguments like, "but you hit me 10 seconds after 9:45", etc. So the other person gets angry and takes your spot back, and it becomes a back and forth argument over who did what, etc.
It seems to me that there is meant to be a battle for rank a few seconds before arena reset. If a guild wants special rules like not hitting guildies 15 minutes before, that's fine; but other guilds are fair game imo.
That said, I would prefer arena reset to be done at reset time. It would end all of this drama.
Edit by Perawind: Apologies Morgan for whatever it was I said (I don't remember at this time), perhaps I was mirroring the tone of the post I was replying to. Anyways, I changed the tone of my statement.
Not everyone has the speed apparently that Chicken has to change, I often miss the first banish hit or am late. More than once the runes were left off or on the wrong hero, in haste. LOL What would solve this is that form save idea. You can pre-load and save the forms, then change very quickly. It can be like the form save in CW, only include the runes and everything on the hero. That or move the time of arena reward back one hour. That seems easy.
+1 to this.Quote:

Makes a lot of sense for sure :).Quote:

I was thinking this too, but then i thought how having it at cerb is a disadvantage for people at work. Bottom line, there will always be people afk during arena payout.Quote:

Hope u realize u have 2 pages of inventory right? not sure how u can fill up both inv n bank :)Quote:

heck even speakers and still leave room for 6 pieces of gear, especially since u can stack most things to 99.
Leave it as it is, its great timing hits hoping uve won the battle at the last second.
As for switching form, 45secs max, if ur too slow, adapt get faster, or miss the first round, might make u quicker the next day :)
Yes and I also have all my bank slots opened. And I have umpteen cards waiting until I can get spirits to saint up Dawn or a 500 spirit purple to Dominion V so I can transfer it to another hero and the use that Hero's cards to bring it up to the dominion Saints (a Dominion V transfer ends up with a Archangel V). I also have all that nice Serious material that the Arena drops.Quote:

I use 15 different heroes just for banish,pvp and lab. I have over 500 tokens waiting to be used, i have over a thousand sirius mats. I have card stacking up waiting to be used like andy, medals speakers and chips up to level 5 for almost every type of chip. SO yes switching forms for some of us requires more then 45 seconds. Back in the day I could switch forms in under a minute, then we got all the royal arena heroes and multiple strategies to employ to complete daily tasks. The arena reward timing is stupid and should be changed.
By the time they release the heroics, we will craft most of our sirus gears from the collections out of the arena.
how you do that without the plans?Quote:

As for the rest of it, u choose to keep it all no1 is making u. If u need more space sacrifice something.
Why change something that isnt broken. Personally I cant be on 1hr b4 cerb or at reset, so for me cerb time is perfect
But I spose coz i dont spend and am not on S1-5 I shouldnt have an opinion :P
Changing the arena award time is still a great idea. My solution; move it back an hour to 9AM so it does not interfere with Cerb.
technically it would be moving it ahead and not back :pQuote:

i would love to see ragna and GW being moved back 1 hour (where it used to be!!!) and have the GW end 10min before the lady starts. the arena payment 1 hour before or after cerb doesnt matter to me, but i think it be better to see it move back 1 hour to 11am, that way everyone who was on for cerb can go back to their best PVP form and defend arena ranks. (also lets them sleep longer ;))
How between the end of RAG and the start of Guild Wars? Most people will be in PvP formations at that time.
even betterQuote:

adam, lance, queen bry, king t, main (bloodstorm sub) to cianna, lance, shayd, herja, main (thucy sub) with the correct gear and runes (and not every rune, just offence runes) and best sword and spirit from adam to lance. took 1 day of practice to get it down right. unless you have lag, it aint to hard. just gotta go fast.
oh yeah and put a better spirit on shayd from ironheart to justice. it aint much, but it helps.
maybe. maybe 5pm. but dont matter what they do. there will be people at work/school/ or sleeping at the time the arena rewards are given out. so they cant make everyone happy. but just not during or right before a big event (banish or gws) rag is fine cause not much is happening at that time. but people is signing up and spamming the boost button with the couple mins we have. its almost the same as right before banish. peoples getting busy for a bit.Quote:

no i think the best times for it would be after cerb or before GW. for very obvious reasons: even if they fail cerb, they still have 5-10 minutes to switch back into PVP form and before GW are (should) be the most online that care about their guild and they are already in PVP after ragna or will go into PVP for GW.
