QoL: More/Rotating City Siege Times

[kpihuss]

Good afternoon,

Your favorite complainer is back (thanks to the GMs for their patience, truly).

I’d like to propose something easy to implement that could give the server a bit of fresh air: new time slots for Cities.

Right now, we know a lot of people don’t play Cities for different reasons: some find them boring, some don’t like the no-blob style of gameplay, or simply because they don’t offer exclusive rewards.

But there’s another group of players who don’t play Cities for a different reason: they can’t because of the schedule. Since the patch introduced fixed scheduled Cities, the times have been 21:00, 03:00 and 05:00 Altdorf time.
As a result, many of us have gone almost 3 years barely being able to set foot in one—not because we don’t want to, but because it’s impossible due to the fixed schedule.

Considering that Cities currently have no exclusive rewards and have no importance for the campaign, I’d like to ask the GMs whether it would be possible to add more different time slots and/or rotate them between 18:00 and 00:00 Altdorf time, instead of the 21:00 slot that was assigned as the European time years ago.

Simply so those of us who enjoy this content have a real chance to play it.

Thanks again.

I really like your idea.

I loved the city on live. I dont remeber xactly how but the players can manage to go outside or inv inside the others so everybody find what they looking for. Players even pay for a good inv. An back in the time premades hunts premades pugs for pugs lowbies or soloers for half populated ones.

At ror i had only got bad traumatized memories. I only win with sweaty guild wb and it was boring like hell. Or they destroy us and it was boring like hell. One side has never got a chance.

I just dont go city anymore idk how it looks like these days.

At the past it was 2 mim fight at the begining then afkin a lot doent magter which side winner or looser.

Would be great if it can be balmced and cool like the scenario. And some how less time. I only really liked the last part when the tops becomes champs and there is a chance to a big 24vs24 sc it is amazing nobody can run away and hide afk the other side of the map.

It would be cool it this kind of sc can happen more. Idk rewards at all it can gives the same like a sc. It was fun.

While I haven`t bothered to do a city here since 2020, or forts since then as well, did them a lot on live, and had already completed bis on 3 toons by 2021.

However there is normally only 1 city that ever gets sieged, you can look at the data on killboard, then scenarios, and city, just from june 12 2025 through Dec 15 2025, there were a possible 60 city sieges over that 6 month period.

In that 6 month period, IC was invaded 50 times, counting 1 city siege by date, at the same time Dest invaded Altdorf 9 times . for the most part Order captures 4 to 8 forts every 3 days , 3 or 4 weeks out of every month, mostly due to PVD.

I`m not sure how that is even fun, just steamrolling the other side every day, for months at a time, it`s pretty boring, I hit 83 on my BW in 2021, 81 on my WP in 2021, several other toons between 70 and 80, all of them are the same lvl they were back in 2022. I haven't bothered playing them since. Game was much more fun years ago, when the win lose ratio was closer, than it is now.

I played all years on live from day 1 of launch, I`ve been here on and off since Jan 2016, but the game in its current state, just doesn`t seem fun, if it`s just 1 side winning every day.
