Bring back TC windows

[playb0y]

Maybe just turn server OFF when Euro sleep. That way no american teams can steal "their" towns.

Stll amercians player and other bullshit. Was playing and still playing with muricas ppl.  And  there is no problem.  They are playing TcS with us all the time. And everything is fine.

And there is other way. Ppl like you.  Stll crying about smtg.   The whole comunity is from europe, server also.  So dont be american hater.and make suggestion for both sides.  Couse ppl like.you rlly pissed me off last time

Leave two cities without TC window, set one in europe 'day time" and put rest at evening, when population on server is highest.
Something have to be changed becouse its really annoying when your team is spending lot of time, efforts and logistic for all this shit with TC.. fighting for hours then some 3 guys with shity gear retaking it while we are sleeping - its just unfair, thought.

[Chosen One]

its just unfair, thought.

So to make it "fair" you lock out Americans?
While, btw, means 16 countries across 5 time zones... not just the us.

[playb0y]

True, but only you crying. 

[ravenp]

if you want windows for murica just start tc now is freee no restricitions

-1 its a good thing tc happening at night because during the day the teams have to retake it provoking more pvp

May I ask you ?  HAve you ever tried Tc with real enemy?  I guess all you did was toillete control.

Literally not a single person has suggested locking Americans out of TC time, the only people bringing it up are you and Henry. I don't understand why this is confusing, the overall consensus here has been a wide range of TC windows so everyone can participate.

If this is the only argument you have against it, it's not a good one... because it's not been suggested.

a gang cant start a timer if they have the town and that happens many times with windows

[mojuk]

So what is the problem with making those TC windows at different time? So many posts and not a single solid suggestion...

How about something like this:

Klamath	12-13	0-1
Gecko	15-16	3-4
Den	18-19	6-7
Modoc	21-22	9-10
Redding*	19-20
Broken Hills*	22-23

*on start of TC window faction is losing control of town

Timeline:
00-01 Klamath
01-02
02-03
03-04 Gecko
04-05
05-06
06-07 Den
07-08
08-09
09-10 Modoc
10-11
11-12
12-13 Klamath
13-14
14-15
15-16 Gecko
16-17
17-18
18-19 Den
19-20 Redding
20-21
21-22 Modoc
22-23 Broken Hills
23-00

There are 2 towns you can capture for 23h with windows but you lose control after that time.
Other towns got 11h capture time but if nobody take your town you remain as controller.

Those 2 towns with 1 window where set in time when the most people are online:
you can check online stats/history here.

Of course after some time city rotation can be made.
In gaps between windows you can look for pvp in places like Ares, Glow, Reno, Warehouse, Hinkley, whatever.

If somebody thinks that putting TC windows on all towns is a bad idea than you can easily change this to 2-2-2 model (2 without, 2 with multiple, 2 with one).

Example:
2 without, 2 with 2 (11h between), 2 with 1 (23h between)

Klamath	---
Gecko	---
Den	18-19	6-7
Modoc	21-22	9-10
Redding*	19-20
Broken Hills*	22-23

or even like this:
2 without, 2 with 3 (7h between), 2 with 1 (23h between)

Klamath	---
Gecko	---
Den	18-19	2-3	10-11
Modoc	21-22	5-6	13-14
Redding*	19-20
Broken Hills*	22-23

Looks fair to me.

Yup very good idea mojuk. Of course now 2 people will come in and start going batshit that Americans will be locked out of the game now despite that being a nonissue

[Chosen One]

True, but only you crying.

I dont TC. The only rule I put on TTM was "not officially supported."
But points for honesty- "Screw americans."

Literally not a single person has suggested locking Americans out of TC time....

Then why have the times (until JUST NOW) always been when we're offline?

Yup very good idea mojuk. Of course now 2 people will come in and start going batshit that Americans will be locked out of the game now despite that being a nonissue

Ah, you can always depend on SOME PEOPLE to lie....
It diesn't actually effect "me." I'm only looking to make it fairest to everyone..... especially for those crying about "toilet patrol."

Best is to make Tc zone as mojuk said but im not a big fan of afternoon its best in evening.

Like for example gecko-klamath-den 19-21 euro time (london or paris timezone) and 6-8pm ( usa zone but idk usa zone might be something like 4-6 am euro zone.

And modoc- Bh- Redding 21-23 euro and 6-8 am euro hours for usa.

Need to do some conversion and ask usa people right there what would be best for them but if each city have their own timezone in game might be too complicated better regroup and make two timezones for a group of 3 cities.

TC window in european evening and another in usa evening spread between 6-10pm is imo better.

As a history lesson, what were the other attempts, and why did they fail, what did they lack that TC has?

There have been many variations of Town Control during the past 5 years. Most notable attempts were towns full of OP militia, 30-minute timer, toilet control, domination mode (though it appeared only on paper - was never implemented), visible bases, Base Control in Sierra, Mariposa and Cathedral (still very popular on other FOnline servers, but personally I think it's meh), and most recently Area Controls from AoP which I don't know much about since I played it for like a day, but I don't assume it's different from typical team PvP events.

In my opinion TC works best as a PvP beacon, something that tells your opponents that you are ready to fight and where to find you, thus reward should be just symbolic. The most valuable reward is the prestige.
