1 HA out of a maximum of 8 across both servers...PROVES that the HA time schedule change is necessary.

Time for $DE to "nut up or shut up" since the YES votes did win the poll! Here is where they show their true colors. If they actually DO proceed with changing the times, they may actually have a LITTLE concern for the NF community and not just the money in their pockets...

The harbor times themselves aren't going to instantly improve HA participation. It is still a pretty limited game mode and, for most fleets, something that is unknown, impractical, or just plain logistically impossible.

The Time change plus added incentives will increase HAs.

I'm sure if an ONF fix the RBBs it might help get people motivated. If not to get them to make sure they don't get raped by one. Since currently Once you get past RBB2 it just goes downhill with performance.

Tax Control would definitely help. If you don't want ridiculous high taxes, attack the harbor. Brilliant Idea!

Sure HA gameplay has its issues, but where else can you use entire fleets vs another unrestricted by ship limits and rules? Where you can use all the legal functions and content of this game? A place where tactics actually make sense to use. (Seriously It gets boring sometime when you can just rush the line at the start of a GB, sink everything and win the game in 5 minutes...)



Maybe adding something like free repair for the attacking fleet for the hour after the HA could increase people's willingness.

Lowering Declare cost might also be an option considering the amount spent repairing ships afterward.


More fleets willing to attack even if they are going to lose, just for the experience and knowledge would help as well.

the only thing PROVEN here is that you don't bother to check the facts before making wrong counts ...
EoM's NY harbor is also being attacked today .. so we are having at least TWO on Kaiser server alone ...

COMPANY of HEROES is attacking EMPIRE of MADNESS for NEW YORK HARBOR ..
IMPERIUM FLEET is attacking JOLLY ROGERS FLEET for control of TOKYO HARBOR

Before you flame, you may want to realize that there are TWO servers, so not everyone is able to check the OTHER server for HAs at all times. I was going off of what drummer reported since I am AT WORK and UNABLE to log into the game to check for other HAs.

Assuming someone "can't count" and is making a "fail comment" has just made a you-know-what out of yourself, congrats.

Also, it has been proven already that the time changes are wanted by A LOT of players. That's been proven for the past several years (not necessarily these exact time changes, but changes in general). Even the poll came back in the end to show that the Yes votes outweigh the No votes...

to the guy from kaiser server.
this thread is/was about nebraska boringness!!!

i dont know how many HAs u have there... i have never logged in ,in that server.



like it is atm... SDE you force fleets to make arranged battles in harbour assaults. So the owners can loose their harbour....to be able to attack, or at least play the game in a Fleet baised competition.

arranged battles = AB
AB in harbour assaults to be able to play the freaking game a bit more.



HA kept this game alive. At least on MO server.
70% of my fleets members would not be here this days anymore, without weekly fleetevents HAs.



Fleetleagues arent an option. Boring. etc.
only a few selected people can play. lets say 15 members. +those members are selected by leaders.
the best players wil play. (thats why i always made room for another guy, instead of me playing a fleetwar for Blacksun.

Fleet leagues will be 20 players, and I would seriously consider requests by fleets for a second team if we had enough 1st teams from fleets. I find them more skill based and exciting compared to number fests.

More skillbased ....(yes). Because a single player has a much bigger impact !
In HAs its different, a single player cant win a tile. Doesnt matter how skilled he is.
Because he wouldnt have enough shells;)

There can be 10 of the best ever seen players on same team. If the other 20 BBs dont know what to do. Loss.

Harbour Assaults are an indicator of average skill of a fleet. fact
Fleetleagues are an indicator of .... like described above by Lj. also a fact.

Numbers help in HA. And a minimum number is needed to have a good chance ( 37-40 players)!

It only needs 1 mainforce and 4 dummy rooms(1 guy each) to make it quick to the Htile.
Shown on old and new servers by several fleets.

Number of players participating in a HA.Is Overrated (my view)
