Proposal
Change Flashpoint timers so they last 25 minutes, with 30 minutes off between them and a 5 minute setup time instead of 10 minutes.
Justification
Currently, it takes about 15 minutes for people to rally to a flash point, and the best fighting ends up happening after the flashpoint ends. Then, all momentum is killed as people wait 45 minutes for the next one to start.
Motivation
This change would allow the momentum between flashpoints to last longer, and for peak rallying to occur at the mid point rather than after the flashpoint has ended, creating better fights.
The setup phase lasts too long, people don't start rallying until the fight has actually started because they can't judge numbers during the setup phase. Reducing the setup phase and increasing the actual length would increase the amount of time both sides have to fight at full strength.

I agree 100% the setup time is too long. Five minutes is plenty. I’m not for or against this PV cause I’m not sure of the current length of things. Right now the battles seem long enough, especially the times where it’s lopsided.

One thing that should be considered is that a thirty minute battle puts people up against the wall of losing their doc buffs and a shorter time between battles gives less time to reset your fill meter and prep for battle.
