Asking for 30 min timers is not greedy in the least. It’s asking for a sign that Kabam appreciates the time we do put in and respects it and realises that real people put time in and have lives outside of the game. Why do you think there’s been such an uproar with all of the problems in the game recently? Put the fun back in and take the chore out. AW season 3 around the corner now too
You're talking as if they don't show appreciation at all. As if they don't do anything when they do and a LOT of it. There is so much this game does for us but instead of learning to appreciate it you look for other things to be greedy about. And yes asking for 30 min timers is being greedy. And about season 3 of AW. This game isn't made for the people with 0 times on their hands. This GAME was made for GAMERS. Understand the concept. lol
Lol mate I don’t know where you’re coming from. Seriously it’s not greedy we can agree to disagree. You obviously aren’t an officer or leader. Kabam never gives out anything for free it’s only when there’s a problem. So you’re saying gamers can’t be parents with responsibilities, hobbies, interests, full time jobs and a life outside of the game? Perhaps that’s a concept you need to embrace
Continuing to ask for things once things have been given to someone is called being greedy. Learn the definition before you try to argue about it haha...And Kabam does give things for free, a lot of it. Just people like you choose to not acknowledge it. And I understand that completely, just if you don't spend the same amount of time in this game as others who spend hours and hours on it, don't expect to get the same rewards, that's not how games work. Any who, if my alliance can finish AQ every day with 6-7 hours left during weekends being international, you can too.
I’m very aware of the definition thanks so don’t need your advice. My alliance does this with 2/3 BGs however I think it’s unreasonable to expect some guys to stay up til the early hours of the morning in some cases to achieve it. We’re not talking about free rewards we’re talking about time. Different thing altogether. The extra free T4B was a glitch. My time is valuable. What timezones do you have?
Ps and no matter how many hours you spend on the game, you’ll still be sitting there in AQ waiting... and waiting... and waiting... for the 1 hour timers to refresh so you can move that extra space up
Again not greedy asking for something that was given out before essentially as compensation for the stuff ups in game being down and wrong tiers etc etc so it wasn’t for free it was to make up for something lacking in the contest

I totally agree with 30min timers! It’s a true “no brainer”, Kabam loses nothing by make 30min timers permanent! I was in alliance near the top last year. I moved down to our lower alliance, because I got too tired of staying up 1-2hrs longer, and getting up earlier before work, just to finish a path. This is 1 reason why sooo many ppl have gotten “burnt out”. Completing AQ should be about skill level, not who has the most free time. A lot of ppl can play at work, but most can’t! Add in sleep, and 2/3 of the day is gone. AQ timers is the #1 reason I’m in a semi-retired alliance. 30min timers allow ppl to still beat the maps they have the skill to beat, but also have a life outside the game!

Well said.
It shouldn't be about 'free' time. That's kind of what arena is.
AQ is a team event with worldwide players having fun taking down a map together.
Talking about TZ, here (central european time) it's very difficult to coordinate AQ5 and almost impossible for AQ6. AQ starts at 9pm, so at the end of the week it's almost (if not over) 10pm. Many people use their 3 initial energy and then goes to sleep. Some can log before going to work in the morning, some can long during their break at work, some cannot login at all till 5pm and we have to sit down waiting, and waiting, shouting in the chatroom for someone to log in. When timer is 30 min, everyone is happy, relaxed and there's nor problem at all. Not a single member wants 1hr timer.

@synergy247 you are 100% wrong. Every aspect about this game is free. We have monthly calendars as well. This a business by the way. Not sure if you realize that. When was the last time you went to a gas station and got gas for free just because? AQ- le me be clear, I hate AQ- isn't meant to finish with 10 hours left on the timer. It's meant to provide a challenge to earn the rewards. With good coordination you can finish with plenty of time. I have 2 jobs, kids and family and I have plenty of time to finish AQ and do everything else. 30 min timers are the lazy persons cope out.
To your original point, they don't owe us free stuff just because.
If you can't finish map 5 in 24 hours, you don't belong on map 5.

I can appreciate the principle of aq being set up for a particular time scheme, organization being key and all that. I also think aq needs a complete rework from the bottom up. It needs to be changed in a way where no one cares about how much time it takes. I completely understand how aq is meant to work. And when it started we had a great time. I've been playing the same mode/Map for years now and it's gotten pretty stale. I don't need 30 minute timers, I don't even want it. I just want aq to either become fun again, or to become a sidenote in my game time.
Not the thread for that. You don't like AQ and it's gotten stale for you, cool, start a thread about it.
We're looking for an actual reason why 30 minute timers aren't the norm.

I agree. AQ is stale. To many of the same champs through out the entire map. I do it because the alliance is but I am tired of AQ. 30 min timers would require me to move more often and i already do want to do it as is.

So go start a thread/discussion about how stale AQ is.
No one is required to move more often with 30m timers.
1 hour timers gives the opportunity for 26 moves
30m timers gives the opportunity for 49 moves. However you can wait longer and still move at the same pace as 1 hour timers, but you are given the ability to move more often. Or, team members can move more often so that you don’t have to move as much as you do now. Just because you can move more, does not mean anyone has too.
The nice thing with shorter timers is folks can pick up the slack when teammates need to work, or spend time with their kids, or go on vacation, or whatever. Or it means they can do those things and then still get their moves in when available in a shorter amount of time. It allows the opportunity to have a real life so you stay happy and enjoy the game.
Again, 30m timers don’t make anyone have to move more or faster. You just get to if you want or need to.

Just my opinion is that it should never happen. It's like asking Arena to double it's time, like no that's ridiculous. If they were to make AQ indeed easier then they would have to decrease the rewards they just buffed haha... Makes no sense. The ONLY thing that makes sense to me for everyone to be happy is for Kabam to have an option for 30min timers also the map costing less but in doing so you get less points for your Event Score, in which you leave the alliances that are competitive to stay in the competing, and the less active you know a bit under.

How is it any easier?
Are the fights somehow easier because the team has more time?
Having a job that gives you less time to play a game equals some advantage if they implement 30 minute timers?

AQ difficulty DOESN’T get easier with more time to complete it, you still need the skill. Arena is a game mode where people put time in if they want the champs. And putting up ridiculously high scores most likely by using units to quickly refresh timer. There aren’t any buffs to counter in arena.
No one has covered the fact they put an extra link in P7 tier 1 this takes an hour longer to complete the path. Came in when sentinels were introduced I believe... and has stayed in.
As an alternative I would suggest the mechanic is changed so that everyone starts with 6 energy instead of 5 with 1 hour timers.

@synergy247 you are 100% wrong. Every aspect about this game is free. We have monthly calendars as well. This a business by the way. Not sure if you realize that. When was the last time you went to a gas station and got gas for free just because? AQ- le me be clear, I hate AQ- isn't meant to finish with 10 hours left on the timer. It's meant to provide a challenge to earn the rewards. With good coordination you can finish with plenty of time. I have 2 jobs, kids and family and I have plenty of time to finish AQ and do everything else. 30 min timers are the lazy persons cope out.
To your original point, they don't owe us free stuff just because.
If you can't finish map 5 in 24 hours, you don't belong on map 5.
Just re reading some posts here. I also work two jobs and have two kids, am the leader of my alliance and run the show along with officers. 24 hours doesn’t leave much time for sleep buddy! Take out 8 hours for sleep and be realistic there’s only 16 waking hours available on average. Less if you work a demanding job. And not every aspect of this game is free you’re contradicting yourself here buddy otherwise how could they run a business giving away everything for free?!?!?! $$$$ in the shop for units to get energy refills to clear content or potions, have a chance at getting new champs every single damn month at the expense of creating a stable platform to work off...
The gas station example you mention is not really the best analogy. Last time I checked, a gas station is not somewhere I go FOR ENJOYMENT. It’s to get me where I need to go and move on, the aim is to get in, get out as quickly as possible. So the complete opposite of AQ as it currently stands. Although it prob shouldn’t be!
Nevertheless, I’ll take the same example and put it in context of how I currently see the state of the game...
Ok so I get to my favourite local gas station to fill up. There’s a new and improved type of fuel they recommend we all use. It’s meant to be better for our engines.
However, what we don’t know is that the pumps can’t process the gas through the bowser as quickly. So it takes twice as long to fill up your tank. What’s worse, it costs double the price.
Next you find out that the fuel tank in your car can’t process it as well so your car is constantly stalling when you drive, sometimes it stops altogether and you can’t start it for hours. You tell the gas station and they say the fuel is ‘working as intended’ or ‘we’re currently investigating it’ but we won’t take that fuel off the market, instead we’ll just put some other offers out so people will grab it.... nothing to see here, it must be your car, what make and model is it etc etc or some variable of the above...
...and you take it to the repair shop and find out that furthermore you should stop using the fuel as it could be doing serious and permanent damage to your car...
Would you still go to that gas station, or would you go somewhere else?
This game is supposed to be a pastime you can enjoy and they are stacking the deck against any player that just wants to be casual as a player. Advancement is practically a joke unless you are in an alliance, period. Yes, you can finish all the questing and do rol, lol and get a r5 5☆, but they make it such a PITA to do unless you are really lucky and very good at playing. The advancement in characters and ranking aren't sustainable in a reasonable amount of time to get that far unless you're supplimented by the alliance rewards. This whole game is designed to suck the player in and squeeze out all the time they can to keep them online.
Just wanted you to take note, that if they turn this into 30 minute timers it would be less of a past time. Reason being is that you're now, as an alliance member, required to log in every 2.5 hours to clear your path as opposed to logging in every 5 or risk losing energy. Questing and what not??? oh gotta stop what you're doing to take that node down for another path because dude is waiting on you. No thank you. You want to suck ALL the living time out of someone, then give them 30 minute timers. Sure you get through it faster, but I'm happy to log in, do my path and log off. Do like the french do, slow and easy my friend.
This game is supposed to be a pastime you can enjoy and they are stacking the deck against any player that just wants to be casual as a player. Advancement is practically a joke unless you are in an alliance, period. Yes, you can finish all the questing and do rol, lol and get a r5 5☆, but they make it such a PITA to do unless you are really lucky and very good at playing. The advancement in characters and ranking aren't sustainable in a reasonable amount of time to get that far unless you're supplimented by the alliance rewards.

Yep I see that point of view which is why I proposed an alternative, just make it 6 energy instead of 5 in AQ each day. A simple change but could improve things a lot, even maintaining 1 hour timers.

I’m very aware of the definition thanks so don’t need your advice. My alliance does this with 2/3 BGs however I think it’s unreasonable to expect some guys to stay up til the early hours of the morning in some cases to achieve it. We’re not talking about free rewards we’re talking about time. Different thing altogether. The extra free T4B was a glitch. My time is valuable. What timezones do you have?
There's just no good argument against it.
Well said.
It shouldn't be about 'free' time. That's kind of what arena is.
AQ is a team event with worldwide players having fun taking down a map together.
@synergy247 you are 100% wrong. Every aspect about this game is free. We have monthly calendars as well. This a business by the way. Not sure if you realize that. When was the last time you went to a gas station and got gas for free just because? AQ- le me be clear, I hate AQ- isn't meant to finish with 10 hours left on the timer. It's meant to provide a challenge to earn the rewards. With good coordination you can finish with plenty of time. I have 2 jobs, kids and family and I have plenty of time to finish AQ and do everything else. 30 min timers are the lazy persons cope out.
To your original point, they don't owe us free stuff just because.
If you can't finish map 5 in 24 hours, you don't belong on map 5.
You finish, cool!!!
Would like to see actual reasoning about why shorter timers are bad.
Not the thread for that. You don't like AQ and it's gotten stale for you, cool, start a thread about it.
We're looking for an actual reason why 30 minute timers aren't the norm.
I agree. AQ is stale. To many of the same champs through out the entire map. I do it because the alliance is but I am tired of AQ. 30 min timers would require me to move more often and i already do want to do it as is.
This guy did it with his alliance.
Discussion is over guys!!!
Still needs to be addressed.
And it's still not a sticky?
So go start a thread/discussion about how stale AQ is.
Good decisions are praised and forgotten.
Bad decisions are brought up, and memed, and made fun of forever.
"Hey guys. Remember back when they wouldn't even use 30 minute timers?"
Oh those guys. Whatever happened to them?
1 hour timers gives the opportunity for 26 moves
30m timers gives the opportunity for 49 moves. However you can wait longer and still move at the same pace as 1 hour timers, but you are given the ability to move more often. Or, team members can move more often so that you don’t have to move as much as you do now. Just because you can move more, does not mean anyone has too.
The nice thing with shorter timers is folks can pick up the slack when teammates need to work, or spend time with their kids, or go on vacation, or whatever. Or it means they can do those things and then still get their moves in when available in a shorter amount of time. It allows the opportunity to have a real life so you stay happy and enjoy the game.
Again, 30m timers don’t make anyone have to move more or faster. You just get to if you want or need to.
TOP OF THE WORLD MA
Just my opinion is that it should never happen. It's like asking Arena to double it's time, like no that's ridiculous. If they were to make AQ indeed easier then they would have to decrease the rewards they just buffed haha... Makes no sense. The ONLY thing that makes sense to me for everyone to be happy is for Kabam to have an option for 30min timers also the map costing less but in doing so you get less points for your Event Score, in which you leave the alliances that are competitive to stay in the competing, and the less active you know a bit under.
How is it any easier?
Are the fights somehow easier because the team has more time?
Having a job that gives you less time to play a game equals some advantage if they implement 30 minute timers?
AQ difficulty DOESN’T get easier with more time to complete it, you still need the skill. Arena is a game mode where people put time in if they want the champs. And putting up ridiculously high scores most likely by using units to quickly refresh timer. There aren’t any buffs to counter in arena.
No one has covered the fact they put an extra link in P7 tier 1 this takes an hour longer to complete the path. Came in when sentinels were introduced I believe... and has stayed in.
As an alternative I would suggest the mechanic is changed so that everyone starts with 6 energy instead of 5 with 1 hour timers.
Just re reading some posts here. I also work two jobs and have two kids, am the leader of my alliance and run the show along with officers. 24 hours doesn’t leave much time for sleep buddy! Take out 8 hours for sleep and be realistic there’s only 16 waking hours available on average. Less if you work a demanding job. And not every aspect of this game is free you’re contradicting yourself here buddy otherwise how could they run a business giving away everything for free?!?!?! $$$$ in the shop for units to get energy refills to clear content or potions, have a chance at getting new champs every single damn month at the expense of creating a stable platform to work off...
The gas station example you mention is not really the best analogy. Last time I checked, a gas station is not somewhere I go FOR ENJOYMENT. It’s to get me where I need to go and move on, the aim is to get in, get out as quickly as possible. So the complete opposite of AQ as it currently stands. Although it prob shouldn’t be!
Nevertheless, I’ll take the same example and put it in context of how I currently see the state of the game...
Ok so I get to my favourite local gas station to fill up. There’s a new and improved type of fuel they recommend we all use. It’s meant to be better for our engines.
However, what we don’t know is that the pumps can’t process the gas through the bowser as quickly. So it takes twice as long to fill up your tank. What’s worse, it costs double the price.
Next you find out that the fuel tank in your car can’t process it as well so your car is constantly stalling when you drive, sometimes it stops altogether and you can’t start it for hours. You tell the gas station and they say the fuel is ‘working as intended’ or ‘we’re currently investigating it’ but we won’t take that fuel off the market, instead we’ll just put some other offers out so people will grab it.... nothing to see here, it must be your car, what make and model is it etc etc or some variable of the above...
...and you take it to the repair shop and find out that furthermore you should stop using the fuel as it could be doing serious and permanent damage to your car...
Would you still go to that gas station, or would you go somewhere else?
I’d just be happy to have a game that didn’t suffer from constantly crashing servers... or game going down immediately after an update...
In the context of now having to wait the entire week until end of AQ for peak milestones for glory, our patience is being severely tested...
Do not speak for everybody else. The fact that you thjng is not needed it is just your personal view.

You want to suck ALL the living time out of someone, then give them 30 minute timers. Sure you get through it faster, but I'm happy to log in, do my path and log off. Do like the french do, slow and easy my friend.
