I may have not seen it, but what prevents people from setting the prime time before downtime so that the DT can be used as a fight deescalation and log-in entrapment?

It's a four hour window.

Chances are that downtime will be excluded from the 4 hour window. So the window extends past the downtime if downtime is during that window. No free 30 minutes of invulnerability, your window will extend past it.

Please enjoy this collection of puppy .gifs while the ISDs ready the thread lockage machine.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Isn't there a formal feedback thread somewhere?

What a pleasant change from cats!

If downtime occurs while a capture event is active, it will save its state and continue as normal after downtime.

The blog doesn't appear to specify what happens if an Entosis link is interrupted by downtime but it's probably been answered somewhere.

On topic: Beavers (someone seems to think a hedgehog is a beaver, which is worrying)

ed. I see your point but it makes no sense. DT is 5-15 minutes some days. Hardly long enough to call in the whole map, and certainly not enough to make people on the cusp of capturing a system stand down. If alliances abuse the DT mechanic I'm sure CCP will gleefully slap them about.

Prime time in its current form is highly unlikely to make it into the game anyway. So why bother worrying about it?
