Brieff Luscas and Abyssal historic
If we all got back a few months in this server history, we will notice that Abyssal and Luscas raid was in a considerable number of players on all the factions/nations existent on this game. With this said i must state as well that even with this self claimed bad timer, people used to attend and have fun in there. Also, there was a health PVP back then as well naval combat.
Now, from about 3 months ago (or so) there have been a HUGE gear score gap in between the factions members; which, i must say, is totally normal and not the reason of this dicussion. With that said, i also must state that, due to this "issue", people begun to abanddon this event in order to prevent theirselves into feeding honor points and player kills to the most powerful players.
There must be a missunderstood in this forum discussion, because the event timer as the way it is now, and even during daylights savings, was lively and plenty of players on it. People are still shy or reluctant into attending yet, on all the existent factions, due to the situation mentioned above.
Abyssal and Luscas acctual situation
If we go back into less than 1 month ago, this very same situation used to occur. But now things begun to settle down a bit. EAST nation was the one that had the most issues and injuries with that event; and yet managed (and still manage to) get it done! The timer is there for everyone to join. I shall state that sall the week long, during all its days, nation raids are posted for that event, religiously, for every single member to join. Last night was the MOST HIGHEST number of player from the East nation that we gathered so far, with the ammount of 21 players, since the last great raid (back to 4 months ago), when several players used to yet join in a last stand attempt to get events done.
The event timer, though, it is NOT the acctual issue! Several times during the early begin of the event, if anyone... i will say it again: ANYONE take a quick look at Austera Hero's Plaza, Outlet port and many others places, will notice several players wandering around; several players doing other stuff; several players doing other evetns, and there we go on. Sure! No one is forced nor can be forced to attendt into event and stuff (lets keep this clear to avoid further missundertoods again). Each individual has its own unique play style; that means we all are free to do wahtever we want in this game.
Any EAST player that once attended to ABYSSAL or LUSCAS once in their entire play life from 5 months ago to now sure know the struggle that it used to be in order to get 5 luscas mobs done, in which sometime took the ENTIRE EVENT TIME to get it done due to PVP OR WORSE... we were not able to complete it at ll in a single day.
In the past 2 or 1 months the ONLY nations that do attended to Luscas and Abyssal were: Pirate nation and East nation. In the last couple weeks we begun to have a small number of West player as well. People are begining to join back the event slowly. Some folks might yet have the memories or reluctance from the old times in that event. But in general, we done have people that attend; the event is not empty; the event is not out of peoples interest.
Some usefull informations
With all the above said, i must state one more information: some of the people that are in here asking for such thing never once joined this event; other joined recently and have not faced what it used to be in the last late month. So, my point is: it is a unncessary change, if it is getting considered. If any EAST player is supporting this situation means that it is either new on this or have never faced the struggle we once had.
The situation faced in a couple nights of the event does not reflect on the event's life in itself. As a matter of example, back on Tuesday's Abyssal event, there was a East raid, a West raid and even a Pirate raid. What happened on the following days does not affect the event's life. The same happened on Saturday, last Thrusday (April the 1st) and the Tuesday before... the event is returning the be lively.
The mentioned couple event's night that it remained East only were: last night, Thrusday and Wednesday; which means: the situation faced in this 2 DAYS ONLY can not be described as the entire envet life! We all know that real life issues and other stuff or other in-game things might have prevented these last couple luscas and abyssal night to get more people into it.
Last considerations
I would like to make everyone get this thinking line: if the event timer gets changed, in order to "get more people involved" we all must keep in mind that not everyone will come! Those that now attend to the event might not be able to join as well due to real life obligations! Not everyone will join even if the timer was movedto late Halcy war and earlier, nor any suggested time! People are free to do whatever they want, either in game or not.
Changing the event timer for a small group will affect the major group of the server; which means: changing it for EU players will affect drasticaly the NA players; so, with the argumment of gathering more people, it will end preventind even more people to join! We all must keep in mind that the server is NA based on a NA player base and on NA host. I say that for myself as well; timers are a struggle for me but what can i do? It is what it is! We all must remind ourselves that we have players from all over in this server and if each single one begins to ask for changing anything timers on, we will end up doing nothing... not even a single CR.
With all that stated i would like to everyone that might post in here: think wisely! Becareful on what you are asking for. Keep in mind that we are guests on a foreign server and we are the ones that MUST ADAPT ourselves to it.
I appeal to the East Nation this: think wisely and carefully on waht you all are agreeing with! East likes to complain that gets little things done due to west and pirates raids, so: take care on what you might agree for.
