Is it just me, or are way less Samurai active in the "last hours" of the faction war? If yes, ****.
How is the Samurai Faction supposed to win one round or something then? How, if only the last turn matters and, what do I know, 60% of all Samurai are sleeping?
The Faction War is overall somewhat..."bad", but that's nothing new.

Faction war is fake anyway.

This is also a concern of mine. Consistently playing between 9PM & 3AM PST, I see that is when we make progress, up until about 6 am. During the actual day, namely the later afternoon, is when Samurai seem to not be there. I know I was just leaving an 11 hour shift at the time of the round closure. Will the rounds always end at around 6PM PST, 9PM EST?

Here's another thing that leaves me curious...The game launched at 12 AM EST & 9PM PST. If you have 6 hour turns & 57 turns that makes 342 Hours in a round, 14.25 days. If Turn one ended at 6AM EST, then turn 57, the final turn should have ended at 6AM EST. (Removing the 6 hours of playtime from the first turn, the end of turns range is 14 days flat.) Here, look at this table I drew up (isn't copying over from excel, not going to reformat into html, sorry!):

(Side quip: Even if we went by average territories the Vikings still won, but we came in 2nd, GG)


SO explain why the round ended at 6PM PST (9PM EST).

The solution I ask for with round closures is rotate ending times to give everyone the opportunity to have a round close within their routine gameplay windows. This is if you are keeping round victories based off the final turn (which is really lackluster by the way.) Another option is to make victories based on average territories held throughout the round. That fits everyone's schedules.

II may just have to

And if so that's fine; just lost the motivation to grind, that's for sure.


From another post:

Isn't it 7hr rotations? not 6hrs?

Changing the end time?

Let's see...I'm actually going to compare to a calendar:

For Honor Released on 2/13/17 9PM PST / 2/14/17 at midnight EST.
Round One Ended 2/27/17 at 6PM PST / 9PM EST

Sticking with one time zone to be consistent (EST) - 13 Full 24 hour days & one 21 hour day (2/27/17 midnight - 9PM) = 333 hours.

333/7 = 47.571428571428571428571428571429 turns per round ; 7 hours doesn't cut it.

333/6 = 55.5 turns ; almost there, but something is off. at 336 hours it would fit perfectly, but wait..


OK, so it looks like we're missing 3 hours, but then again something is way off.... My original calculations were based off 14 24-hour days plus 6 hours (342 hours) , but the Faction War page (currently unavailable) shows 57 turns. That is what I did my original math off of; 57 6-hour turns adding up to 342 hours. How the f@ck did this pan out with 57 turns in 333 hours? If they were 6 hour turns, the round would have lasted 14.25 days, but only 13.875 days were in round 1.

13.875 * 24 = 333, which when divided by 57 turns comes out to turns being 5.8421052631578947368421052631579 hours long.

Now I'm starting to believe the turn time is variable. ::grabs tinfoil hat::

I'm sorry is that a KNIGHT that is *****ing? Pretty sure SAMURAI had everyone beat but thanks to that NAT red **** we got ****ed. Most Samurai are from overseas and play when it's night in America. That huge buffer we had between the two factions since they like to double team us was what kept us ahead. So please...cry again about how your faction lost. Let them take this round. The rest of them belong to Samurai....I'll make you a big sandbox, though. That way it'll still feel like home.

Where did you come across this info?

Psst.
