+1 giga. Event table is thing to take care off to keep server alive.

Thanks for the reply, In that old post I also mentioned that I made that event table in 20 minutes time. Obviously not all decisions are correct. Forget about snow war. CR FARM literally pulls people into colony zone to complete the farm. Yes, people become targets but so what, this initiates more pk. Nobody is looking for farmers if there is an active warzone inside bowl. Also it provides something to do when colony zone is simply empty on those hours for people active, and those empty bowl hours are frequent and plenty unless some boss is alive. Lunar war after 2 hours pvp session doesn't seem fine? Sure do it later in the evening, or use Friday. The thing is, we don't have any other option for lunar war. We wont play at 3-4 am to participate in the morning one, and most of us have family duties or even few unfortunate ones are working @ the 18:00 one. "People would rather chill out after an intense PvP session" - I did read somewhere that you prefer PvE part of the game and I do respect that, but I assure you not many KO veterans are burned out after 2 hours, and even if that is the case, a 15 minute break is all we need. Please have in mind that most of Europe is still using the daylight saving time hour correction, so right now in the winter at least in Poland we are 2 hour behind Turkey time, and in summer 1 hour. "As for the 23:00-00:30 time slot, another possibility would be to add a BDW event there and essentially rotate" - respectfully, BDW seems to be underparticipated simply for the fact that teams can be set up unfairly by the system, probably rewards are also a factor but I don't care about that. I do not think BDW is the answer. We'd love to get Lunar war on Friday/Saturday evening, then I think postponing/delaying or removing FT on the evenings is a go-to. Then a mix of RLB/CR Farms or even LNS during the week would sit perfect. I'd like to dumb it down somehow and come up with a good table, but I realize it's a complicated matter. I think its paramount to realize the playerbase that I mentioned is indeed mostly active around 20:00-02:00(that 2am is midnight for me), and usually later means beter. If you judge activity based on some internal numbers, then You should know that we would gladly play longer during week days, it's just there is not much to do. You could consider introducing experimental changes for a short duration and see the feedback. You can always make changes, or revert which spices things up overall.  

The CZ PK peak period is from 21:00 to 23:00 server time. I went over your previous topic, and I really don't see why you would schedule Snow War on Sunday at 21:00, considering that Bifrost takes place at 20:00 and can last for up to 2 hours. You also suggested scheduling CR FARM at 22:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which would also kill CZ PK activity during its peak hours. Also, you suggested scheduling Lunar War on Saturday at 23:30. This might be considered somewhat acceptable simply because it's Saturday, but scheduling a long-lasting event such as Lunar War immediately after roughly 2 hours of PvP doesn't sound ideal to me, I highly doubt there would be much participation. People would rather chill out after an intense PvP session (hence the FT event) than participate in another 1 hour-long PvP event at that time. That's also why we chose to schedule CSW at 22:00 rather than at 23:00 or 23:30. Snow War and LNS should start no earlier than 21:00, while Lunar War and RLB should start no earlier than 20:00. Alternatively, they could start at 01:00 (we could be a little flexible here and consider 00:30 too), although that's already too late for most Europeans, as it's generally around bedtime. Such time slots would therefore be more suitable for American players rather than European ones. As for the 23:00-00:30 time slot, another possibility would be to add a BDW event there and essentially rotate FT, BDW, and JM throughout the week.

Thankyou, GigaChad for creating this topic. I totally feel that the 23:00 server time FT events are on the wrong time cuz it kills the activity in CZ, i suggest to replace that with RLB/LNS/Lunar wars( what if winning nation of Lunar war get 3 mini felankors? ) I love lunar wars but sadly not many join there, im sure if there are some kind of bosses it will come more active

Hi, thank you @nikos32 for the recent update, it was about time. I feel like the evening hours where most of us have time to play during eu/turkey are still underwhelming in the newest event table version. Let's see what the current state of weekdays are during 22:00 - 02:00 on working days (and even the weekend except Bifrost and CSW):  FT (currently a neglected event by many, I do realize it is necessary to have, but IMO it should be pushed to earlier or later time to free up prime-time) and JM (thank you for adding that). Although I feel like JM is a nice addition, it still pulls many people outside of cz; but that is not the main issue - the issue is that most of the time not everybody gets to join JM as the event is participant-dependent of both nations, unlike RLB or LNS or Lunar war. So some people go to the event, most parties break up and colony action dies. I don't like to beat a dead horse and repeat myself but... We would (I'll take a chance and say I'm speaking for the majority of EU/TR player base) love to get some cool events like RLB, LNS or even Lunar War during that time. Especially Lunar war on friday or saturday evening would be amazing. We would be satisfied with Collection Race events as well in the evenings, so major events could be mixed up with those and interchanged every other day A person working 8-20 eu time, plus wife and kid has hardly any time to participate in those cool events at the current state of the event table. I do realize you cannot satisfy everyone, but taking into consideration a large portion of your player base, I do think it is a fair request and worth re-considering.   I would not like other time-zone people to think I'm being selfish. I'm simply speaking on behalf of my timezone. I would be happy to hear your vision and suggestions. Let's talk about it.
