Just been thinking if we had a day where TM Limit doesn't exist for 24 hours of every month/two. PvP's been boring and I would like to see something fun and I think having 1 day of no TM Limit every month should get the ball rolling again... IMHO. What do you think?

Its a nice idea, but sadly it is just far too much work for Dan to do.

He would need to alter the value twice a month, once to increase and the second to decrease, and we all know how Dan doesn't like to alter simple numbers in coding, even when its a one time alteration.

He can create a program which can simply switch between the two settings.

How predictable, "Time Manipulator" wants to jack the price of the 'Time-manipulator'. Lol....

Wrong. By your logic, Dan has to change the setting that one can claim one's daily reward and then change it back the moment one claims it, and he has to do this for everybody; this would also have to happen for every other time-controlled aspect, including resource-generation, shield-restoration, and energy-generation.

Plausible way to accomplish this: Every time the Galactic Server Time hits 24:00, the server increments a counter. When the counter hits a certain amount (in this case, 30), change everyone's TM limits to 2147483647 (max integer that can be stored in 4 bytes - standard). The next day, when it hits 24:00 again, the counter will hit 31. Then, reset the counter and change everyone's TM limits back.

There's no "time triggered" stuff. It's an illusion. The game simply checks the last time something happened whenever you look at it.

So it really is just a few lines of code. Check the current date, if it's been more than 30 days and less than 31 days since the last date (store it in the database) then let them use the TM, if not, don't let them use the TM.

The PVP content and rewards are given, restrictions were implemented for a good reason/s.

While I agree ,that there is a lack in motivation for PvP activity . I would rather support another bonus PvP content than altering the existing PvP content.

The "Battlegrounds" suggestion had low response, thus either only few people find PvP interesting or the idea was not so good to gain comments.
Another suggestion from me would be to implement Legion battles.

No TM limit is for wussie!

Once a month for 24 hours. Every one has FREE actions! no TM needed no tm limit if its there you can take them. see some one at 500,500,500 actions. u can hack and riad x500 for free one after another! some can halc and just let the pvp'ers kill eachother.

what do you say

IF you "Farm" Icarium's Fate member, then you should know that there's a TM limit... :roll: Funny you say that your legion is PvP active yet you, the leader that's recruiting members into the legion doesn't even know that there's a TM limit. SMH.

Probably because he isn't selfish with his CTP and uses it to help his legion :roll: Not everyone has your "addiction" to TMs Rusty and not everyone is rich enough to spend on TMs.

+1 to the idea, -1 to your attitude.

I'm not rich on CTP, hell if I was I would be buying out planets that I would love to have, but that's not the case here... I chose to buy TMs because this game is boring to just NPC, PvP is what's keeping me in this game, Dan needs to find more ways to make PvP more entertaining and the game in general rather than NPCing, after all this is a WAR game. I'll say this straight up, I don't like you (Varunjhagsdjasfdqwe) and Dexter.

I'm saying different people have different priorities and different people have less or more resource access. Not really sure why you feel the need to explain to me about pvp being boring as I +1ed your idea because I agree with it. You really need to stop being so close minded and learn to accept not everyone does things your way and stop being a prick every time people do things "wrong" according to your view of things. As for you not liking me I really don't care, take your feelings and shove it. Its not mutual no matter how much you push it.

-1, to the idea
lol @ blackfox. i think its more likely icarium farms you after seeing what you consider having an advantage.

I myself am on the opposite end of the spectrum and and consider pvp worthless except to say "ha! I shall temporarily inconvenience you"

yeah i don't really have thousands to spend, neither will i bother to spend over 10 on one person.
the most i have ever had at once would be around 200 which i sold for shockwave.

also i do believe ive done more than my fair share of successful attacks on IF
