Geo TB - Phase Time

12hr phases would be bad no matter what time zone you are in. One phase may be convenient but the next would be the opposite. Assuming you sleep 8 hrs and work 8 hrs, you would have little time to do a phase. Especially if you sleep 8 hrs and get up and go to work for 8 hrs like a lot of people do.

24hr phases are doable. But anything less than that is just nuts. I like the 36hrs though and if they aren't going to double the tbs then there's no reason to cram it into 4 days and then have 2 days of nothing.

Yes...........no, not really. 36 hours is fine.

I agree. No. I like the longer phases.

Fun fact: they didn't make them 36 hours on purpose. While they haven't told us the reasoning, I would bet cash money that we got 36h phases because they hard-coded TB to be a 6 day event and they couldn't change that without breaking Hoth.

I still say they should be 12h phases like they were originally planned way back in the day. A 6 day event doesn't allow enough time for guild movement.

And 12h doesn't allow the members of an international guild to properly participate.

So find a guild that doesn't span so many time zones.

Enough time for what guild movement exactly? Are you in a rush in which you can't commit 6 days to one guild? Or is it just too demanding to merc HSR only once during two weeks a month instead of two times every week (by the way, this still can be managed with 6 day long TBs)?

I don't merc, though I know others do, so maybe it's a consideration. I am in an 11 guild alliance. Sometimes people need to move around, and squeezing that in between events can be tough.

Plus, honestly, do you really *need* 36 hours? Even for an international guild, 24 hours is plenty, and if it weren't for the idiocy that is platoons 12 hours would be more than enough as well.

That's because people by nature use all the time allotted to them. The same people that did Hoth with 2 hours left do Geo with 2 hours left. Doesn't really matter that they have more time.

By a similar logic, find a game that doesn't involve 6 day long guild events then.

What? That doesn't even make any sense.

you realize that guilds "spanning time zones" isn't the issue with 12 hour phases, right? I mean, just ftr the earth isn't flat and it is sleep time in certain places while you are awake.

If time zones aren't the issue why point out that people are sleeping in certain places while I'm awake?

Plus, not sure why people are getting all uppity. They aren't even going to change Geo to 24 hours, much less either of them to 12 hours.

of course time zones are the reason we don't have 12 hour phases, it just doesn't have anything to do with guildmates in other timezones.

12 hour phases is crazy talk.

Not really that crazy, as it was the original plan. It was changed before the first run.
