Fortress Siege Timers Increased to One Hour

• The developers over at NCSoft have taken the data collected from the in-game survey a few weeks

  ago and compared it to their internal server statistics. Based on these factors, their decision

  is to "keep the enemy on their heels". Next week they will be changing the fortress capture timer

  to one hour, which is twice the amount of time it is currently set to.

  The goal in the original change was to increase the difficulty of these battles and reduce the

  amount of time players needed to dedicate for the event. They believe that the new timer achieves

  a good balance, but that doesn’t rule out future re-evaluations. As usual, they will be closely

  monitoring activity in the Abyss after the timer change is implemented to make sure that the

  battle rages on without any new negative side effects!
