Due to the addition of a gang cooldown from switching gangs in map 11, starting at 5 minutes then being nerfed down to 2 hours, has prevented many players who are allied with other gangs not be able to loot with them on turf boosts or in gang fights.
1 Main reason for switching gangs is for the turf boosts, if a player is in a gang that has many players offline and/or players that do not loot but are allied with a gang that does have players on and that loot they will have to wait 2 hours to join for the turf which would already be over by the chance they get to be in the gang. This has came to the attention of many looters and gangs recently and has not been a good word around.
Another main reason for switching gangs is for gang fights. Once again if you are allied with players who were in a different gang or made a new gang they would have to wait 2 hours to join for the gang friendly fire to even take place. This is really annoying in gang fights since you can still hit your own teammates which is really stupid.
Overall the change to 2 hours has just brought negatives to the bigger teams of the server or even the smaller teams who want to loot with some boosts. 5 minutes was perfect to have if you wanted a gang cooldown to actually be in the game and even if this doesn’t change an addition of a gang ally getting turf boosts in a future update could be really beneficial.

Because of the gang cooldown not being able to switch gangs for turf is very annoying. +1

The gang cooldown being 5 minutes was a glitch btw it was always suppoed to be 2 hours. Gangs were created with the thought of them to be used as gangs where people can communicate and to make it easier to work together as a gang not as a place where you just join to loot then leave. You were never meant to gang hop super often unless you left a gang they were designed for a person to commit to one and adding ally chat made it easier for people to communicate and also ally looting.

What I will say is that ganghopping is definitely not the intention of the gang system. Red obviously wants gangs to be seen as pvp teams and not something you join for turfs. I think there is probably a better way to go about doing this that will make everybody happy, but overall I don’t think preventing ganghopping is a terrible idea.
If this is not already a feature, It might be beneficial to add a gang levelup perk that gives turf benefits to gang allies.

I understand that but when you look at how he wants and how they act now there’s allies between 2 gangs and when either of you want to loot its hard for you both to loot at the same time
I totally agree with that last statement, and just add ally ff too, would fix both problems I mentioned
The 2 hour cooldown is genuinely one of the best additions added this map, if ur upset about it stop being a gang hopping oddball.
Also I just wanted to add that the whole gang fights argument is silly. since I’ve started playing I’ve only ever experienced gang fights for the first two weeks of the map, after that their basically nonexistent.

i don’t know why some peole are hating on the post. but I agree. if anything, it should be a lower cooldown because not everyone has an established gang.
onb i aint reading all this at all but the cd should be removed, gang hopping damn near isn’t even a thing and what benefit would you get out of it besides swapping gangs to hold turfs which wouldn’t even be a problem
-1 cooldown being removed is just gonna make the bigger teams even stronger. cooldown lets smaller gangs compete. ofc people who are part of the 15 man team would want the cd removed. (same people who complained about massive teams last map are in one this map)
hot take but if anything the player limit should be decreased. server is most fun when its multiple smaller gangs fighting (map 7) instead of just one team vs another. (map 10). like how is fighting with half the server on one team fun. then yall complain that there is no comp and that the server dies so fast. like no shit, you 10v1ing everyone that goes outside is the reason.
