This seems obvious, but I have not seen it addressed.  Node wars are a huge part of the game, however it alienates everyone that is not available at 6:00pm PST...every day.  Can we get some variation to war start times?  

The game is amazing and has a great player base, but it feels like those of us that can’t log in that early due to work or family obligations are missing out on a critical piece of the game.

6pm pdt is 9pm east coast. That is in no way early. Gotta cater to the entire NA server, not just west coast

I agree with the OP, there obviously isn't a single time that everyone is available, so there shouldn't be a single time for this huge game feature. I agree there should be a few different schedules available. I think they shouldn't go too crazy though, times that are way outside normal hours might be exploitable.

They already heavily favor West cost with times. PCs hot times start at 6p EDT and end at 4a EDT, yet on xbox they want east coast to start at 10p and end at 4a like everyone is already done and gone to bed, seriously WTF...I don't want to wait till 10p for "event time. 

Learn from PC Pearl Abyss, the at least have the times down, for everything. as for OP:

It would really only work if they had more nodes later on like with Drieghan and Kamasylve to have them running through different parts of the day. BUT they would need war channels, No mobs, no life skills, can't AFK anything just for nodes and Sieges. 

They would also have to increase the amount of nodes a guild could own, and decrease how much each node is worth to the guild. 

Honestly i'd probably node war more if it wasn't at 9p EST every night. I'd rather be in bed watching a movie with my girlfriend when instead at 2p on say Tuesday's i could totally sit down and node war for 2 hours no issues. Think this is why Guild Wars 2 and ESO's pvp attracts so many, they cant P2W it, it's ALWAYS going, and has little to no guild setup costs to get started. Just log in, join in and go find the fight, play as long as you want then, log off and it continues with out you.
