Timer on Stronghold?!!?
I agree that a longer timer would be better. There’s so much to do, the current time just doesn’t feel like enough. Maybe when it’s really familiar it will be different, but right now, the timer seems too short.
yeah i dont get the point of the timer? do the lords go on a lunch break? is there an impending doom going in 15 minutes?
Yeah, me and a couple of guildies have beat pug groups really fast but, against other players when they know what there doing in the future i can see alot of stalemates going to happen
I was just in a game where we had the guild lord downed. A second away from winning and time runs out. Other team had more points. Such BS.

maybe we can award 250 points for downing the lord and another 500 to finish off the lord?
what do you think?
they specifically said they want a game mode that can be finished within 15 minutes.
I completely agree, 20 minutes minimum and it shouldn’t be in same queue as conquest, when it releases officially.
I agree. Please remove the timer.
i disagree.
15 minutes standard timer is good.
i do not want to play dota 2 or league of legends where matches can last 30 – 60 minutes or more.

If it must be in 15 minutes then remove points and at 13 minutes the lords both move out and run towards the supply area and fight each other similar to gvg in gw1. Then you have a big brawl in the center to end the game.
It may be that people not understanding the strat that well are causing games to time out instead of going to a lord kill, but if this continues, it would be nice to see either a slightly longer timer and/or a balance to NPCs/gates that speeds up lord kills.

Even if that’s the case I still think it’s better for it to be decided by killing the lord than by points. There’s going to be games that go long even when more people understand the map so there should be a better system in place for that.
My thoughts:
1. Should definitely not be in the same queue as conquest when it launches
2. 15 minutes is good. Some of us have other things to do and shorter game modes are better.
I understand they don’t want matches to go on forever, but come on, this is too short. 20 or 25 minutes would be fine.

15 mins is plenty of time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh8BhaNzNlo

Seriously though, this is going to be less of an issue once proper tactics have been figured out. Also if it does end up in a stalemate, the whole purpose of the point system is to reward aggression and therefore preventing full bunker teams from winning by stalling and forcing a stalemate.

I think they should try playing around with 20 minutes. Any longer would be too long.
As for gaining point for downing the lord. I would say 50 point for every time you down the lord.
All is vain.
Playing this mode, I have to agree with the opinion, the game should not come down to “points” this game mode should be extended. It should have a early, mid, and late game to make it more interesting. In my opinion, the guards should be invulnerable to everything but archers. We already have a short game mode, some variation would really make this mode feel fresh.
