More Night Invasions

I seldom ever play POTCO during the day. I'm a parent, a college student, and a worker, so the only time I actually have to play is at night after my daughter goes to sleep or is with her father, or after work and college classes. I know I'm not the only person like this; most of the people I'm friends with in the Pirates universe are adults who have to do the same thing.

There were a few of us who waited around for nearly 6 hours for one of Jolly Roger's invasions (about 11:00 PM Eastern time to right now which is 4:30 AM Eastern... I'm still playing actually lol) and there hasn't been a single one.

I understand that they're supposed to happen randomly and that the kinks are still being worked out, but those of us who are "kids at heart" would like the opportunity to also participate in the invasions. We lose out on quite a bit as it is; we typically don't get to take part in the roleplaying chats and other time-constricted things because of our children, work schedules, or school schedules.

I just wanted to bring this up to see if there's a chance that anything could be done about it or if anyone else feels the same way.

Good point, and good for you to bring it up!
Especially since Capt Walter and (ghost) ilk can't be bothered to work outside the Pacific Time frame.
Is it a Union thing?

Agreed, not only for those who may not be able to play until late at night on the East Coast - but even for those on the West Coast that are still working / busy when these attacks happen, they are just getting home from a regular day and theres no attacks left.

Lets hope that once the kinks are works out they do some type of schedule - at least families could plan around playing the game and get an attack in that day

Absolutely agree. For a while, I'm not able to really get on until later in the evening say 11pm Eastern and I have yet to see an invasion after "prime-time." Walter and his crew none need to be present, just set this stuff on random like they said they would, ya know?

For now, it seems to begin between 1:00-4:00.
