Safe Zone Time - opinions?

[AnselAdams]

I voted for 15 minutes because there are already two options for people wanting to leave the game for nine hours and coming back; esc+q and spectator mode. The higher bounty argument is a bit silly, in my opinion, as I'm a believer that population rises and falls based on who decides to play the zone at any given time. I do not join the zone, sit in spec looking for high bty and leave if there's no one for me to chase. I play because I want to play and it's as simple as that. This is not Find Huge Bounty & Chase Zone. There are many different styles of play and even while in the zone, people change what they're doing regularly. I'll lame in the castle or J12 for ten minutes, get sick of it, and then chase. Then I'll get sick of finding the turret and team for a little while holding a section of the map. Then I'll go solo for a while, shooting whoever, then I'll shift to good ol' lame standby mine repping, go do something else, blah blah blah. None of this is affected by safe zone times.



I will say that I don't like the fact that I can't get a streak because of someone sitting in safe for nine hours. I know I'm not the greatest player so it's a lot of fun for me to get a streak every now and then. If the chaos greats hog it all the time, there's no fun left for the not-so-great players like me. I also don't like the AW thing but as you said, it's not the end of the world. Besides, even the most obnoxious trolls get sick of being a troll after a while.



I guess in the end my advice is to pick a time and stick with it. I'm not going to cry about a nine hour safe time. I just like standards.
