Daily attacks !

We all know that most alliance attacks are launched early mornings.
The reason for that is obvious since the major part of the players is from Europe.

So; we launch, we sleep, we make the jpg and then we hope for some new roids.

This has become too static and is part of the games stagnation.

Players are spending too much time doing nothing then chat in chans until next target are released next night.

PA needs to evolve to a game that gives the players some all around the clock satisfaction/action!

This means that PA needs to make it either more profitable to launch daily attacks or in any other way stop players to only launch early morning attacks!??

By this we not only get a faster game we also get a more difficult game that demands more from each player and some hard rethinking from every alliance.

I believe we can make PA a more around the clock game and force us all to completely change our view/tactic on this game, but still keep the “spirit” of the game….

I think many gamers out there think PA is a “slow” game and that’s one of the reasons they aren’t joining up!?

Re: Daily attacks !

I think that due to the way you've worded your post this is going to turn into people arguing about the merits of getting rid of prelaunch.

I personally can't think of any solution to what you're saying other than getting rid of prelaunch but I still don't think it's a good idea since it punishes the casual player more than the more hardcore player. The fact that this game rewards hardcore play more is a bigger factor in why more people don't play this game than your claim that the game is slow.

Re: Daily attacks !

Nope I want to take it one step further.

Example 1: If your last 3 attacks were launched lets say 04.00 PA time then the next 3 attacks couldn’t be launched between 0300-0600 PA time – result; you spread/force out the attacks to last around the clock.

Example 2: If you are able to land early night you get X more roids/score/value etc….

I guess ´more examples could be figured out but the whole idea is to force us all to plan/make the game/attacks more spread out over the whole 24hr…

The game would be faster and even make the game harder to play!?

Well, there will not be any “full proof” system but to force the attacks go around the clock will benefit both Aussies and us Euro players…infact even get us more “over there” players since most of them don’t join since none are wake while they are… and how cool is that to play a game when no one is awake……

Re: Daily attacks !

What about smal / medium active / big alliance only able to arrange 1 attack on 1 gal each night.

Some members cant join in bcause their last launches were at same time?

Dont like the idea. sry.

If u want 24/7 action. u should get pa to add soem bots. that launch amount of fleets / value compared to value / size of each alliance. This could happen every day... to a smal extent.

#1 alliance could get more incs than the rest.

just a thought. dunno if its been said b4

Hundreds of times. There are just *so* many arguments in favour of using Bot planets (particularly "intelligent" bots), but the main problem with it is that it wouldnt be 'real' PA anymore (i mean, what the hell is real PA anyway) humpf.

Plus, as furball mentioned in another thread:

Thats the only way I can see it working tbh is to advertise in bigger countrys on the other sides of the world who will be more active at them times to defend at them times otherwise it will never change.

Re: Daily attacks !

ok, PA attacks at the same time because the game mechanics allow it to.

I can send a fleet out and have it ready to send out at the same time the next day.

perhaps this is the area that needs looking at?

you could lengthen flight times (but not windows of defence) for instance which would be the simplist method, but slow the game down more

you could lengthen RETURN flight times if sent out to attack but not to defend almost doubling them infact so you still get the snappy action, but are forced to send fleets out later and later, which will make for a moving attack window. ( yes 3 x 8 is 24..... stop using 8....)

Re: Daily attacks !

Lengthen return times and fleet catches will be a breeze.

see this is what happens when you suggest something and don't think it through.
