I'd vote no.

Not that I like the changing schedule for planting, but something about the schedule slipping and being slightly difficult to optimize just seems 'right'.

36 hours = same time of day everyday (AM/PM alternating)

35 hours = moves back an hour everyday until you're up at 4am to build your resources

36 hours is moving forward all the time.

make this a feature for paying customers, things like that are perfect for it.

Wait... how is 36 hours moving forward?
24 hours + 12 hours... just means if you build at noon, you can do it again next time at midnight, and then next time it's back to noon.

actually I never liked it.... either you have internet access at home or at work... (think of the people that dont live in highly developed countries) so I want to see you staying at work to build mines at 12 PM hahaha....

I would prefer a 24 hour limit... as at the moment for me (and I guess many others) its a 48 hour limit.... because you are at school, or at work or I dunno where you dont have the possibility to play.....

Saludos, Nico

what about 35 hours and 55 minutes?
5 mins are enough to build resources.

Should I change it into a 48 limit then? :)

Maybe 37 hours timer?

On 35, you don't have to get up at earlier, you may just lose that 1 hour. But with 37, your only chance is to plant/mine after work/school. Or if you are REALLY for the war, you'll be getting late for work, you'll be missing classes, etc.

i'm serious, noone wants paying players to get a large bonus. so things like this, and maby things like the latest activity should go to them.

it isn't a "real" advantage in such, but it makes things a lot easyer.

I'm all for changing it to 24 hours, That way you can be involved in the game at the same time every day. Also it will speed up the gameplay a little bit :)

SqueaL: the whole point of the 36 hours timer is to inhibit you, not to help you :p

Exactly!

This is why I believe 36 is better than 35. Your schedule should slip. S*** happens. I'd like to see a diamond mine where you're guaranteed to get a new one set up on an exact precise schedule.

In my experience with the 36 hour timer, when I'm trying hard to optimize resources, I only lose out on one resource purchase every couple weeks, and even then it's only a 12 hour loss over that entire time period.

Regardless, one still has an advantage over people that only plant every 48 hours, and there is VERY little more to be gained by switching to 35 hours.

I have zero issues with it the way it is.

Thank you WaywardTraveller! :)

You don't know how nice it is to hear that someone is happy with something the way it is, and I couldn't agree with what you said more :D

I'm happy with the way things are. If you're real worried about it, space your purchases differently.
