Since the lame thing is, most people are that cowardly to take down bigger defenses while the owner is asleep, and don't dare to challenge them while the owner is awake...

A 'night PPT'... set certain gametimes for 4 nights in a row, for 12 hours each...
Safe while you sleep, unsafe during the other 12 hours... but gives you a chance to at least react...

How does it sound?

hmm,how would you buy them?

I like it, but most of everyone else won't, saying something along the lines of "well, just start a normal ppt at night, and cancel in the morning"

A similar sorta thing was suggested by someone (in a round about way) were you take a % of your income (like realm alert) and this would be used to auto-repair your weapons whilst offline. Since it would be what you would do (most likely) if you were actually online, and not just watch your defense disappear

From the market most likely. Though i don't know how you'd split it up. But i think it's along the lines of dictating when the PPT is applied, instead of it just being 48hrs straight?

how about like 4-6 days PPT but ONLY in the night,which you can buy with...*still doesn't know*

lol, if u change ppt time endurance then u gotta waste merlins at will.

i always tho its best to have a 2 or 3 days long ppt and 2 shorts of 12 hrs (tactical)

@ Ashu... from the market
@ Sarevok... yes, you'll be able to dictate the times then
Also, about autorepair... that's different... autorepair means you're barely risking anything unless you're out of naq... while night PPTs (which take up regular PPT spots) cost the regular amount but leave you exposed during 'daylight'... also, since it's a PPT-spot, you can't have both night PPT and regular PPT active
@ Lithium... risking Merlins is the decision... you don't need to, but then you risk more during the day. Or you can still use regular PPTs but leave yourself exposed minimal 3 days and 3 nights.

I suggest a 7 days ppt that can be broken only if you are online and be
renewed automatically when you log off

If any of this is to be implemented, nox needs to be removed. As massing someone's def is already hard if they are online, when they have nox - it is impossible.

Its not impossible, people just aren't willing to build a strike 2x+ the persons defense

Why don't we try that out? As long as the defender is online for the entire duration of battle and has enough naq in the bank, the defender's weapons will not be damaged.

7s for nox is just *way* too long.

how about you buy an alloted amount of time

ie instead of 2days ppt you get 48hrs, which you can use anyway you want..

I like the idea temptress, and i think is along similar lines to BenjaminMS' idea

Its 6 without Nox anyway... Nox just means you get phased after a certain number...
And if you don't have more resources then the defender does (considering once you have a higher attack, the defender starts taking like 200% more losses) then why should you be able to break through? If we had a RL war, you had $100 to fight with, and i had say $1B, don't you think i should win, simple because i have the resources to fund my war effort more easily then you?

Currently, if I had 1q naq, and you had 1tril naq with, say a 10bil def, you would still 'win'. Because massing a def when they have nox is impossible anyway.

And nox adds a 7s delay. And I'm sure it's 7s.

cmon guys coz smone want o build a big def the game has to change?

dont build it and sleep well
