The new timer to move out from PK is just annoying

During relics , i think it is a good implementation. However 99% of the time we are playing there are no relics in play and it is just incredibly annoying.

I agree; this is extremely annoying during none Relic Raiding. However, if you think about it, old frontiers you had to wait on the pad with the neck on to get back to said realm... so its pretty much equivalent to the same annoyance.

Yes but that was 17-18 years ago when I was 14 with all the time in the world. I am 32 with maybe 1-2 hours couple of times a week to play now. I play solo and these type of changes make me wonder logging in the first place. I have 50 other games or stuff I could be doing instead. If you only cater to hardcore 8v8 groups that play many hours a week you will loose the player base very quickly. People just don’t got time for this now.

Agree completely.. I first encountered this change yesterday, and it blew my mind - why they would do this.. I understand that the quick rebuff, and run out can be a nuissance, if you're fighting close to PK.. But still..

I vote to get rid of the timer

Super-annoying for solo/small-mans

From what i thought i understood it has to do with relics.

People can just die and run back out and engage over and over.

3 minutes is no big deal to me.

Ok, so the old DAoC had it. NF had it in some form too. Phoenix also has it now.

So it might be that this change is needed and even beneficial to the game, and not just for relic raids.

For once it somehwta equalizes the realms that port and the realm that walks. It also means people tend to leave in groups more bc you need to wait anyways and can take that guy in. Finally if you just go out to die meaninglessly you have to pay a (tiny) price for it.

And all of that is fine and a good addition to the game and that is why it is in.

if the timer needs to be in place

then i would rather bring back the ceremony and have it port people every two minutes (allows a minute for everyone to re buff etc) rather this run out and get warped back.

Yeah except that's not how buffing works and you're going to need to rebuff after porting...

i do follow

put on the necky , port
buff and move out.

its why i said port people every 2 mins, the 3rd minute would do all the buffing your need to do in the zone you are now in.

bye! Play a single player game if you want to be in total control of your time.
Compare to Uthgard this is still reasonable.

Compared to uthgard this is about the same time we had to deal there in the beginning. 7min port makes you wait 3.5min on average. Even they lowered it to 3min port cycle, making you wait 1.5min... on live we have instant port and ppl enjoy it like they did before the patch.
Thought the concept of phoenix was to have qol and no time sinks. Now we can level fast, but we have to wait in rvr :X

Incidentally that's exactly what I did last night--I went and played a single-player game after having over 15m of time-outs for being zerged.

Lol. So you would have preferred suiciding into a zerg more often then?

The problem is not the timer, the problem is people like you that run into zergs solo instead of having some patience and forming a counter zerg or anti zerg 8-man or just going to another zone where you help establish some sort of inofficial small group / solo area.

The DAoC of old was great because so many people had exactly this kind of patience.because they valued the community instead of going into farm mode / suicide mode and blaming the game when that gets boring.
