However only 2-3% of wins during the last 3 hours of each combat window are auto wins - so they are playing almost no role in decisions

That pretty much settles it. Turret stomps aren't deciding planets.

Wow now folks need a new excuse. It won't take long though.

The tweet also makes it clear that only the last 2-3 hours of the attack phase really matters.

When most EU players are sleeping. ^^

[Felix7007]

so an attack phase lasts 6 hours right? that's like 4%.

2% - 3% holds more weight then one might think....I hear CSJ is only 3.4% of the entire CW population but we arent having a terrible time of taking planets in the name of The Smoke Adders.

FTFY.

In other words, Russ is making it clear that the current planet taking mechanism is broken. It might not be the most urgently in need of fixing - but when 7/8's of the day is "thrown away" - that's a problem.

I have to say I am enjoying playing CW but since none of my games matter, what's the point?

[Mcgral18]

I wouldn't mind seeing the stats for different factions.

Does that percentage change when a large faction is attacking a small faction?

[KraftySOT]

Thats meaningless data.

If theres 500 matches in the window, 2-3% can be flipping multiple planets.

[Thorqemada]

You not not make a reasoning from that post - it could simply mean that the 15% Autowins in the hours b4 can not be taken back and 15% is pretty much.

Now it will be 15 Zones per Planet.....

I could magne different Zone Counts for different Planets depending on the Planet Status/Type - Major Faction/Strategic Front Planets with major defensive forces would have more Zones than Backwater Planets with Backwater Milita.

So those 2-3% matter more than the 97-98 contested matches?

That still doesn't explain why they're wasting server resources by actually hosting the matches.

CSB:

Sounds a lot like basketball, or so I've read. When I went into the news media, I had to prepare for the day to come that I would be called upon to write something sports-related.

Though I am a man, I chose to buy and read "The Smart Girl's Guide to Sports: A Hip Handbook for Women Who Don't Know a Slam Dunk from a Grand Slam." It was clearly written for the woman who wants to "be one of the guys" and either attract a boyfriend or get closer to him.

For my purposes, I wrote the book off as a business expense.

Anyway, the point is that book taught me all but the last 10 minutes of a game don't really matter. Both sides score a lot. Then, when the clock is running out, it all finally has meaning.

Yeah...and 65% of all mechs carried BAP both before and after the BAP Buffs...
Oh Hey! I watched 36+ Davions ghost drop one after the other onto a Liao planet during the ceasefire (they were still queued and ghost dropped one after the other for twenty minutes) the planet was Davions after I got out of match but it went from 54% to 82% in half and hour during the 40 min ceasefire.
Three uncontested ghost drops right at the end, during the ceasefire before the planet flips.
Sunday night. Anyone else see that?

Mine is to get 25 , 80 point games. After that i think im done getting whipped by clans who are somehow ALWAYS on the defense.

I would like to know how they decide what denotes a counter attack. Because I am tired of clicking defend and having to attack every time. Aren't the Clans supposed to be invading/attacking the IS?

Or for the dead, and you don't want either to fight by your side.
