PPT update

Well we have 2 ppt's and sometimes get extra from admin.
What i was wondering why can't we make PPT stack.
Meaning i on Friday buy both my PPT's and it will end Tuesday at the time as always instead of someone having to reppt on sunday for me.
I mean it would not do any difference in the game if PPT stack only time where a PPT does not stack is if a user Ascend. But else when admin hands out ppt it stack on top of the ppt the user already has.
It will have no ill effect or do anything to ruin the game because as all knows ppt's when stacking will give same result as when not stacking. But this way you don't have to see your PPT being lost when admin ads or if you know you are gone for 3 days and you have 2 ppts you can set them both and not worry because it will last 4 days.
It is a good update and wouldn't ruin any mechanism in this game and it i hope should not be a hard thing to do.
What the rest of you think? I have actually gone with this idea for 4 years its just resontly i actually bothered to post about it.

NO, why cause people still miss PPTs

Its been asked more repeatedly and Jason has never given it ear. Most claim they will miss PPT ends but don't consider that a missed 4 day ppt is far tastier then a missed 2 day ppt.
The "super ppt" was what it was called in the thread I think. It was even suggested that the cost should be all 3 MT to activate it, so the greater benifit also came with a price.

M8 I aren't adding more days.
If PPT stack i would have all 4 days at once instead of 2 days and then reppt and have the last 2 days.
And btw if people miss PPT when they have 2 days imaging when they have a 4 ppt and forget to log in and bank imagen what you get instead?
This update changes nothing but just allow the PPT you have to stack thats all.

Mine didn't and i never had any PPT given by admin stack lol and i actually that day had to buy another ppt before bed so i lost the amount he gave thats why i recalled this idea.
As i said it ruins no game mechanism nor does it give you longer PPT or anything you get what you always get.

Well m8 the thing is what i surgest is not a super PPT. its just the fact that the minuts you get stack meaning lets say i right now with 4 hours left on my ppt bought a new ppt instead of getting 48 hours it would stack and would end in 52 hours meaning it would end esactly when it should if i renew it in 4 hours time from now.
There is no super to it no changes no nothing the PPT minuts just stack. You still have the 2 ppt and its still function as always.
I do not ask him to make a special ppt or anything just let the minuts stack on those 2 ppt's and when he gives PPT outs thats all.
when you ascend it does not stack at all.
I don't see this as a change in mechanism nor a change in anyway that does a difference i mean if i friday could buy both ppts because the minuts stack would still mean it ends Tuesday at 13:35 game time as always only difference is that instead of me PPT'ing friday 13:05 and then reppt on sunday 13:05 i bought both at Friday, it shouldn't cost extra because your not doing anything different per say.

Well with this suggestion you could stack up 6 day's of PPT in one go on monday before market turn over. then hit 10 days and hit another 4 next week to make it 2 weeks in which case you ascend again.....so monday-monday and then you have another 6 days from ascending and the market....

yea so I could use both PPTs on sunday stacking the minutes just before the market change, have my alliance leader stack another 12 hours, wait a turn and use 2 more, stacking minutes, have my alliance leader stack another 12 hours, sit till market change and add another 2 PPTs and an alliance 12 hours then ascend, eect. you get the point...that not even a no in my book its a HELL NO! your lazy if you cant sign in and reapply PPT. Game doesnt need to be easier it need people to put effort forth...

M8 Ascendtion should not stack meaning if you ascen you loose all your minuts.
And secondly what you show there is already being done but this time they log in every 2'nd day and reppt so as far of changing anything its not and never will if you allow it to stack you do not get more time on protection you do not get less time you get what you always have.

ahh thank you for reminding me Ifrit Alliance PPT SHOULD NOT STACK EITHER. Just like Ascention will it remove all minuts from your own ppts and start on a fresh.
Meaning if you ascend and had 1 day left of the old you would now have esactly 48 hours and the old is gone.
If alliance buy PPT and you had 1 day of your own then thats lost.
And Ifrit if you read the only PPT i want to stack is the one you can buy from the market and if admin hands out everything else function as always meaning if you ascend or use alliance ppt it removes what you have left from the market ppts or anything else. So if you ascend and want to be on 6 days ppt then you need to log in when your ascention ppt ends and then buy your market ppt. Same goes for alliance ppt's you need to sign in and buy the market PPT when it ends.
I am only asking your market PPT to stack.

M8 has nothing to do with being lazy but something to do I know of a fact that if i have to choose between vac or PPT if i am gone for 3 or even 4 days without possibility to log on i would love for the PPT to stack so i can stay in the game without getting farmed and grow.
Plus the fact that sometimes things come in the way where if they stacked it would be a benefit.
If you think it has to do with lazyness then i am sorry to disapoint you i just see it as a good addition to the game and would make it also more intresting tactical view.

what he is saying is you only get 1h per use of alliance PPT so you have to do it 12 times to get the max of 12 hours, so it not stacking would be a joke...
i see your point, but i still say PPT isnt broke, it dont need fixing...

I support stacking of PPT but not stacking of alliance PPT.
Just think of the missed PPTs after 4 days!

I don't support this, and if I did the only way I would would be if you lost half your other PPT as a penalty, I don't see why you should get all 4 days...
Say you go on PPT, tehn the alliance does, so.... you get an additional 6 hours added to yours instead of 12... That wouldn't be a bad idea so you didn't miss out completly on the alliance PPT but stacking of the two days that is yours, hell no... Sorry but if you can't sign in and reaply it then screw ya you don't deserve to play anyways lol
