Over the years, I have formed an opinion that not all factions are given the same amount of time between server shouting a cradle was defeated and when a relic is actually stolen out of it. Noticed differences when defenders logging off, back on, buff and arrive in cradle area. Some factions appeared to be able to log of/on, buff and get into before a relic was stolen, while factions appeared to be unable to do so.
To put the matter to rest, I have been using a stop watch to see if my perception was either fantasy or reality. I have found that SL's cradle will release a relic after about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Today while watching the shouts, I timed the RK cradle to release in about 1 minute and 45 seconds. Are the timers on the factions supposed to be different?

Everything takes longer than you expect.
And if anything can go wrong,
It will, at the worst possible moment.

It might have something to do with the number of raiders, or the time it takes to run from nearest 'safe' log in spot to cradle.Eldaquen wrote:Over the years, I have formed an opinion that not all factions are given the same amount of time between server shouting a cradle was defeated and when a relic is actually stolen out of it.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the amount of raiders you have.

Just verified by looking at the code.... constant amount no matter what faction.

net latency + any amount of server code lag= differences in time

All the same time, lag could be a difference.Just verified by looking at the code.... constant amount no matter what faction.
