POB attack declarations

[Epo]

As it was mentioned a few days ago, building an high-core POB requires a lot of hard work and massive RP to be approved. At the same time, estabilishing an assault force doesn't need that much attention.
What's my proposal: To make it necessary to include the UTC time when the assault will take place, it would help the defenders at least to gather at the right hour, otherwise the attack declaration would be invalid.

As it isn't such a big change, I hope it will be approved. It's just an small hand for POB owners to help them keep their cute bricks alive.

That's all, fill the poll and leave some C&C

Epo, your talkative NPC

It won´t help much, people will find easy way around and will announce several attacks, majority of them false (or one player will log and show up to prevent sanction, because technically it is still attack). So defenders will not know when real attack will take place anyway.

Not to mention that if declarations will continue to be made literally minute before start of the siege, it won´t change anything as well.

Only way how to change current messy situation around POB sieges is complete rework of the game mechanic, for example something like Karst proposed some time ago (POB would get a lot more hitpoints, but their repair rate will be significantly slower, so sieges will turn into long-term effort instead of matter of few hours). But whole issue is incredibly hard to balance to give fair chance to attackers and base owner at the same time.

Then maybe making it able to mantain siege not earlier than one week after posting attack declaration would be more helpful?
This way both attacker and defender would have time to notice that something is going to happen, not just logging in the morning and seeing a message that your pob has been rekt to dust. And they could use this time to gather allies or just avoid an heart attack due to shocking news.
