Hey after the Server being Online now for more then 4 months how about you reduce the Realm time to 2 Hours instead of 12 hours

yeah should be enough to avoid realmhopper just for keep defense or rp bonus but at least then you have the option to xp in one realm and rvr/raid on another on the same day and especially with the xp task system its not really motivating to xp one toon for many hours if your xp kill tasks reset every day and you need way too many at stage4+

yes 2 hours is enough to not disturb RVR and making possibility to level a char on other realm and go back on main char on main realm to rvr at night until your other char reach 50 to do rvr.

personnaly i really want to test alb or hib and maybe switch later but i don't want to lock my account 12h and cant play rvr cause of playing 1 or 2 hours on a other realm reroll...

I agree, the realm switch timer needs to be looked at. 2 to 4 hours is more than enough

If you aren't going to let us have buff bots, or multibox... at least let us play the other 2/3 of the game...

2-4 hours would be nice, that community vote was in favor of shorter realm timers, would be a popular change!

I still think 2h timer would be more than enough.

bump, 2 hour timer please!

I would vote for like 10 minutes if allowed, so sign me up for any sort of reduction. Sucks being stuck unable to xp toons on the other realms for an entire day because you logged in the other one.

Would love to try the other realms for a couple of hours but to have to plan stuff around a timer in this day and age is a bit ridiculous .

And 1 hour realm timer.

Any higher?

/kick and /heal on a 2h timer for people soloing useable by normal players account (since we'r in the realm of fake bid i shoot high )

Keep it relevant for the Thread plz.

A 2 Hour timer would be more than enough for Planning around to play and lvl another Realm.

With the current 12 Hour timer its almost impossible without locking yourself on that realm

Why even have a timer?
Do people do relic raids anyway?

Without a timer people could be /lfg in all realms (in discord), join raids in another realm if they had nothing better to do.

I would suggest a 30 min timer.
Would be more than enough to prevent spoilering a RvR raid
Thu 9 May 2019 9:49 AM by Elekur
Small steps 2Hour Timer is already a good Step.

The 30 min Timer is only good if the population is under 1k players or less

but eitherway we agree on a Shorter Timer

Done a couple of relic raids with Pilz, no one came to defend, probably because the relic suck and are pretty much worthless.

2 Hours would be awesome

relics are worthless due to a FG can just take it back np.

If the time was removed, or reduced to an hour, I would probably play again
Thu 9 May 2019 6:30 PM by Elekur
Agree it might bring people back or people stay longer overall
Thu 9 May 2019 6:36 PM by buddhazeng
agreed that it should be smaller, Relics are so weak that people wont just change due to relics moving hands, two hours seems right to me

As I said in similar post, 12 hours is just maddening. Had to log on Mid to pay rent yesterday. Had no incentive to play hunter again yet...so logged off.
I would probably play more if timer was removed.

I would love to play hib or all when nothing going on in my mid guild but the 12hr thing is killer
Fri 10 May 2019 8:08 AM by Galintor
I think this would help the game alot, the amount of times i've seen groups flop instantly and underpop reach 70% on a realm is just unnaccountable. The realm my clan plays on is usually 0% and there is a flood of realm mates all the time, we're stuck just running around in circles for hours not fighting or killing anything

I like the Idea of reducing the timer.
The stream delay thingy was removed awhile ago aswell , which kinda goes in the same direction.

It would be nice to have a 4h or maybe 2h switch time.

I cant really see any negativ resulting out of it.

Additionally it would bring back players who allready quit the server.

I for my self have set times where i play with my guild, so i cant really play with friends on other realms because i would have to wait 12h everytime and thats not possible for me with the time i am able to put into a Videogame..

Please consider a change, thanks.

Sounds like you really thought it through

Make it 24h and burn the realmhoppers irl
Fri 10 May 2019 10:36 AM by REVOLTE
while the 12h timer is already rly rly nice to have (compared to the uth struggle) and i originally thought that it was ok like this and shouldnt be changed - i kinda see the points of several ppl posting in this thread and would also welcome a reduction to 2 hours.

Now that nostalgia people stopped playing and / or were proving wrong about their realm pride (Hib is basically dying, but muh realm pride? Yeah they don't care, they left for alb and mid), 2h timer would be a nice start. Instant information about other realms are easily available with discord and streams anyway, it's not like it would change anything.

Next step NF, we'll get there eventually, but that deserves another thread.
