14 days before banquet

The rewards from AW will arrive on Wednesday (if all goes well), that's the 6th.
But wealso have to be with a new alliance on the 6th. This can become very tight, especially when if the rewards are delayed.
Is it an idea to shorten the 14 days to 13 days?

Did you know that 15 hours can save you 15% or less on Banquet insurance?

I cant wait to see how many layers we can get to by the start of the banquet

Is there any reason this period can’t be shortened to 10 days or 7 days to avoid the problem all together?

I don’t understand the need for any buffer period to begin with so maybe someone explaining why you can’t just be in the alliance on 12/20 would help understand the need for 14 days.

i’m pretty sure it’s so you can’t switch alliances during the event and get rewards from two alliances

If they did that, then you'd miss out on rewards that the alliance achieved during your blackout period just like what we see with the alliance BG event. However, since the blackout period covers the whole event, you just have to wait for the blackout period to end and you can contribute and get every milestone the alliance got during your blackout period.

It's to prevent summoners from making an appliance to get the alliance milestones the first few days then forming a new alliances with the same players to get another set of alliance rewards. I know it sounds crazy but there are many summoners who would definitely do this. Two Alliance rewards would be to tempting not to do. The solo rewards won't be affected by this either so it's a win win situation.

Thanks..
missed this one..

Got it now, thanks all.

I didn’t connect the dots that the 14 day blackout period matched up to the 14 day length of the event.

Why can't Kabam reduce the cooldown to 7 days? Who the heck puts 2 weeks of ban? The hell. Almost half a month of wanking around.

Blame it on the wankers who took advantage previous years double dipping, hiring bot accounts to do unit dumps and a whole bunch of exploits.
Yeah that's why we can't have nice things.

Oh well, those who abused should've got rewards wiped.

I didn’t get it at first either but now I see why it can’t be shorter.

The “blackout period” is 14 days and the event runs 14 days. This means you can’t possibly be in two alliances during the event and contribute to both during the event and get double the rewards. The blackout period has to be as long as the event is for this to work. If it’s only 7 days, you can rack up alliance rewards day 1, then switch alliances and get all the alliance milestones again in 7 days while the event is still active.

I still don’t understand why the rule can’t just be that you have to be in the alliance on day 1 of the event to get the rewards. If you switch during the event you wouldn’t get any that way so no double dipping and no blackout. This would allow switching up until 12/20 and no switching after.
