I would change nothing personally. Lowering the time would further imbalance the game in favor of elite players, just my opinion.

I'm not against the idea . Elite players should not be forgotten too . It's too boring to read about helping lower levels, middle, newer, etc. but never them .

I think we can create a premium option
- if you want to start expo now you just give 5 premium days and it's started on next 00 or 30 minute clock
super easy solution...

It is a very good idea.
Imagine the simple situation. IN clan there are at least 4 person who have penalty for basilisk, so they want to do higher mobs, Robot, anubis, Wendi.
With Samaritan mode it's easier to find help in that but having in mind long 1st phases it can be diffficult to start 2 expos per day
Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4, player 5 (permanent helper)
2 payers per day want to start anubis expo
Day 1
Player 1 has to start his expo at 0.00 and and 1st pahse is till 11.10, Players: 2,3,4,5 are joining him, so the next expo can be started at 11.30 the earliest.
Player 2 has to start his expo at 11.30, 12.00 and and 1st pahse is till max 23.10, Players: 1,3,4,5 are joining him, so the next expo can be started at 00.00.
Day 2
Player 3 has to start his expo at 0.00 and and 1st pahse is till 11.10, Players: 1,2,4,5 are joining him, so the next expo can be started at 11.30 the earliest.
Player 4 has to start his expo at 11.30, 12.00 and and 1st pahse is till max 23.10, Players: 1,2,3,5 are joining him, so the next expo can be started at 00.00.
Imagine the internet connection malfunction, any other real life situation and U are stucked with too long 1st phase and U need to resign with your expo and your friends have no expo to join becasue the timetable is too narrow...
There is no explanation why the 1st pahse should last longer and longer. Look that KOTH is 3 hours flat for all locations...
So my propositios is that starting from basilisk to the last location the 1st phase is 8h 15 minutes what gives us players 7h backup for unexpected situations and does not force us to be sticked to the computer or mobile, keep us away from bad (casue U need start at 0.00)
Smaller players, U also be at the same point after some time, so please look at this from pur perspective and answer the simple question: "Do I, personally, want to have same problems? Especially if the change is simply overwiting a few game parameters"??

pointless its worked for the last few years grand..why change it now ?
as for the phase1 being to long to accept team
its called planning...
you want to get the best xp from the higher mobs..spend the time in phase1
what will happen if the time was lowered to much..you start expo have to go somewhere and not have ENOUGH time to accept team
i think its just grand

And easy exp!! easy exp is doing 2 man basilisk expo. That is low risk and reasonable time taken so you can finish 2 consecutive each day.
Once you reach level 109 you start taking a penalty hit on basilisks, this grows worse each level you gain above 109. So eventually in order not to slow progress too much, you need to move on and do xr expo or anubis expo. Since both expo can be done with roughly the same number of people, xr expo makes no sense. So Anubis expo it is... If you need 4 man to kill it you have person a,b,c,d.
Day 1:
a start and take b, c, d
b start and take a, c, d
day 2:
c start and take a, b, d
d start and take a, b, c
First phase of Anubis expo takes 11 hours and 10 minutes, effectively 11 hours and 30 minutes.
First expo must start between 00:01 and 00:19 and then runs until 11:30, next expo must end at latest at midnight. Failing that you will upset next days expo schedule. So you have 49 minutes to start next expo.
/edit
Also this system have worked for many years yes, but only because people are getting 100% exp from basilisk. Once more and more people reach level 109+ there will be more need to run Anubis expo

Baal - 8h is enough to accept your team. Every person going on basilisk can confirm that. U do not need any single minute more than 8h, I can even say that 4-5h is enough, especially when U have samaritans.
THe example i provided and Nndungu followed shows U that with higher levels and penalty for basilisk there are problems with time schedule.
It's not about easy exp guys, it's about having exp at all!
Pliz think a step forward toward your own nose...
