CSA to be opened all day like G-Dungeon?

sukghee

Hi, I may sound silly but would the devs be able to consider CSA to be opened all day instead of specific timings like g/dungeon? Especially that it is now a requirement for All-Star.;

It doesn\'t sound silly, in fact we were just talking about the same thing with another girl in my alliance xD

        Hi,

        But then we have to ask ourself that with a CSA that is open all the time that people will spread even more, and the lower queue\'s already have queue\'s from over 30 minutes..

I do agree waiting time is a consideration. Nonetheless, this is a game played by international players from around the world and all walks of life. Server time is GMT-5 (if I am correct), the timings which CSA are opened may not be a good time (i.e. 2am to 8am server time, 10am to 4pm and 6pm to midnight).;

Let\'s take GMT+7 (Asian timing) for example as the two time zones are directly 12 hours apart.

2am to 8am for GMT-5 CSA slot is equivalent to;2pm to 8pm for GMT+7. Countries under GMT+7 are Cambodia, Christmas Island, Indonesia ;(part), Lao, Thailand, Vietnam.;

For working adults, let\'s say work hours end;approximately 6pm. They may take about 1 to 2 hours or so to get home depending on mode of transport. In Thailand, Lao, Cambodia and Indonesia, the traffic conditions are real bad at peak hours such as time to knock off.;

For students, this timing of;2pm to 5pm, they are likely at school or extra-curriculum activities.;

So if the above two groups misses the 2am to 8am server time CSA slot, they go for the next slot which is 10am to 4pm server time which translates to 10pm to 4am for them. 6pm to midnight server time is 6am to 12noon for GMT+7.;

If they do not get the \'Join CSA\' or \'Win CSA\' quests in All Star, I think they can be safe to finish their dailies with 2 hours and start on CSA proper between 10pm to whichever time they go to bed. (Note: With the 20 mins cooldown for CSA, to complete 3 CSAs takes between 1 hour to about 2 hours to complete all 3 CSAs).

However, if they get those in their quests and has no silver or gold to refresh the quest, they are then stuck with that quest and unable to proceed.

Just to clarify, I do not come from a country with GMT+7 and the above is purely for illustration purpose.;

If and only if, opening CSA all day is not a viable option. Then, can the devs consider shortening the cooldown to only 5 or 10 mins and the penalty cooldown to 30 mins instead? I think this is a reasonable request.

        Regarding the lower cooldowns I am 99% sure that it will be declined because of the amount of leavers/AFKers that will come again. I can always suggest this to Jelly and the developers but I am sure that I will get a \'nope\' reply.

        Thanks for helping on this. I think leavers are alright cause sometimes people just get spawn camped, gets frustrated and leave the game to work other tasks or dailies. But if it helps to allow the devs to give this a serious thought, they may wish to consider lowering cooldowns to 15 mins instead of the current 20 mins, and retain the penalty at 1 hour.;

        Even for me who is on server time I hardly get the time to do my 3 csa, especially when you get it in all star, I\'m usually on a 8, if I get it in all star, I got to wait 2 hours to do it, with nothing to do in between, because I got to keep my dailies 4 the next all stars! The times CSA is on is really a problem on our server really!

        And as sukghee said, our server is Lois 260, GMT-5 (server time), so USA East and Canada East Times, I\'m exactly on server time zone leaving in Quebec, Canada, if I get difficulties with CSA being on server time zone, I can\'t imagine with others we got a guy at GMT-8 (I think), so the timing is probably not the greatest 4 him, we got guys that got alliance wars and things like that in the middle of the night too (like 3 in the morning) lol!
