Since there have been significant changes to the usefulness of Ranking PvP and BSQ, I was wondering if the community would prefer to the change Emporia times so that they are later and overlap with Ranking PvP instead. I'm sure many people have work on weekends and cannot make it to the current times because of this (if I recall correctly from the previous thread). There could be many other reasons for or against this as well, so the purpose of this thread is to collect everyone's feedback.

If you wish to run a poll and ask the community, you may. We'll put the results into consideration.


I spoke to Hastur since he's the Forum Administrator and polls are removed due to abuses. I'll let the team know about it, but there isn't much else I can do regarding the times. You can make a thread to discuss it with other users so we can see the feedback.


OK, so this isn't a useless topic, and the GM's will consider it!

Options: (and add reasons if possible)
A: 3-5:30 pm PST (keep current times)

B: 6-8:30 pm PST (overlap with ranking times, but not BSQ)
C: 5-7:30 pm PST (overlap with BSQ and ranking times)
D: 4-6:30 pm PST (overlap with BSQ and some of ranking)

E: other (and I'll add it)



YAH I VOTE FOR B...BECAUSE I HAVE WORK :blink:

Wow, this is really nice, I will vote for option B as well because it doesn't make sense to even have ranked pvp other than for job change and CP Sets really....so it's pretty dead. I'm sure that ranked pvp can be overlapped in the weekend anyways. Note: Friday Nights make us sleep later throughout Saturday as well, so this time would be perfect.

EDIT: So, for those in the east coast would have to play from 9PM- 11:30PM. Those young kids will not be able to participate because It'll be bed time for them :blink:.

So,if the other options of "over lapping" could be changed to "shifted back" instead it might be a better idea.
Just to clarify, if EW+BSQ could not be over lapped it would be nice. So just, both of them shifted back.

List the EW time brackets in order of increasing time, and not of importance to you.

B. Same reason as yurai.

I don't want to have to rush home on a saturday just to participate in ew.

Also, ranked pvp is completely useless. Only reason I voted for ew to NOT overlap with ranked last time was because ranked pvp still had rewards. Since rewards have been removed, ranked population has turned from ~20 a night to virtually 0. No one wants to participate in ranked if there's no benefits. If they want to fight w/o rewards, there's practice mode open 24/7.

It's not listed in decreasing time.

She started with the earlies time, then jumped to the latest tune and then went to decreasing time. Does not makes coherent sense.

uhh it's not listed in order of importance to her either...? Because if it was...she'd list A as her first choice..B as her second..etc
Why does it even matter anyways?

It started with the current time.

Then continued with the possible changes, which started with the latest to earliest since
Option E would naturally be an even earlier time. Sorry if the extra space to signify the separation between current and changes didn't alert your comprehension.

Plus, the whole point is because of the changes to Ranking PvP.

Call me unconventional, but if I were to make a text-based poll, I'd try to make it as coherent as possible.
But again, thats just me. :/

I don't think most of the responses here are valid, especially the ones with no real reason behind them since we're all a bit biased. Of course, all the Soul members chose A, and all of us Ascension members have chose B. It'd be better if those who simply stated their choice would give a brief explanation as to their reasoning behind the time they chose.
