Anything would be better in my opinion. Map 3 with 30 minute timers takes about 6 hours (spread out however long you want to make it, up to 24 hours - yes it can be done faster if everyone hits all energy as soon as possible, but again we want a life too so that’s not a typical case). 6 hours a day (30 hours a week) seems like a good chunk of time checking in to me, plus AW, monthly events, arena, etc.
Higher maps, of course, take a little longer, but 24 hours to complete as you see fit with reasonable timers is good for us. We shouldn’t be tied to the game 24/7. It’s a personal choice, but they don’t leave much room to not be playing if you want to do everything.
It's that simple . Timing is one of the only challenges in aq these days removing it seems bad design
The fact that you actually believe that the one hour timer is a valid challenge for alliances that it applies a hardship to, but the half hour timer is an invalid challenge for players that cannot accommodate it, is a better refutation of the position than I'm capable of formulating on my own.
Y'all lost it because of GW? Lmao. People look at the amount of posts beside his name. He literally spends more time here on the forum than in the game. There really is no point in arguing with him.
Now anyone saying that 30 mins timers aren't beneficial, should think back a bit and remember how good or great it was for them and their alliance when it was implemented then pray for sense. I am done.

It’s hard not to engage.
It’s like seeing someone else’s kid eat paint. You know it’s not your responsibility to stop it, but you also can’t let stupid happen.
30 minute timers give freedom to an alliance. And the “argument” about some players being left out, well that falls on the alliance. You’re a team so act like one. Help out others and take care of each other. How is that hard to understand. Leave a node up for someone, or move around BGs.
30 minute timers have been proven to reduce stress in 83% of players, true fact. 👍
@Dropfaith and @GroundedWisdom speak for the community. Whatever they say goes... at least they think so. Just ignore them. They’re only here to get your goat.
Everyone else on this thread has common sense and well intentions for the general community. Those 2 just want to argue for arguments sake.
Unfortunately, Kabam has little sense these days and seemingly not interested with what would make the community happy... good game mechanics, stability, communication, better offers with realistic prices, shorter timers (which they know most people want or they wouldnt offer as compensation), etc.
Flag away you two, I’m not long for this game at this rate anyway.

Have a look at my Profile. Does it look like I have much interest in spamming Flags? Not so much. Can't be bothered. It's not what they're for.
I speak for myself, and Drop speaks for themselves. Just because we don't agree with the majority doesn't mean we're trying to get someone's goat.
It's been discussed countless times over the course of a few years. Their reasons are their own for keeping 1-Hour Timers. I jut happen to agree with the need because I have guys that are affected by the shorter ones. Believe it or not, people can actually disagree without being chastised.
I'll bump it.
Not every alliance can play 24x7.
We play for fun. Not really competitive in terms of top whatever.
Just for fun.
I have never seen a "good" argument for not having 30 minute timers.
Even an AQ energy item would work.
I've never seen a good arguement for 30 minute timers. You dont have time to do it with an hr well that's on you.
You allow a game to stress you out? Yup on you.
The fact that the overwhelming majority of the player base finds 30 minute timers make AQ more enjoyable is a good argument.

Thanks Kabam for your open communication and support of the community. NOT. #sarcasm
