There is no need to have a conflict phase at 1 am or 7 am like how on earth would you be able to wake up in the night to defend your building like for me for example in EU server 7am is 5 am for me this doesn’t make any sense.
You defend your Site the same way you were defending them when it was possible to attack 24/7.
How were you managing when the attacks were all day long with no break, i.e 24/7?
We don't need less conflicts hours. In many servers despite them being Europe servers there are players who are have the American Timezone. Same for AM servers, where there are players who have Europe timezone. Same for the Asia Server.
We usually liked to have a single conflict phase per day, but the community liked to have more. What if we would have 3 conflict phasds but closer together around prime time? Where the protection phase inbetwen is about 1 hour long?
Having only one conflict phase, specially around peak hours means that you are putting a large group of defenders against a small group of attackers.
We all know that big numbers will have a large advantage.
Having those attack phases during hours of non-peak, spice things up. It's not a disadvantage to anyone. The previous system defenders had to defend 24 hours a day. So they should adapt to the new system which is better in every way in terms of defending hours.
From experiences, if I were defender, I would ask for less conflict phase simply from a convenience perspective. Nothing more.
