Something I am not clear on with the cool down period and I am wondering if this has been figured out yet.
So on live we have had players between two FS switch places for the purpose of exchanging good, and many of us in the two FSs have been in a FS together at some time, so it is also an opportunity to visit with old friends for a week, and then the players switch back.
So, how do the perks penalize this activity? The switch is always done after the tournament ends and before the spire starts but there has never been a cool down period. If you aren't in a FS at the start of the FA, you can't play it, but will the cool down period lock you out of the tournament and/or spire? If the cool down period is only for NH, that's not such a big deal, but I think it is a big deal if it locks you out of any spire or tournament if you are there for the start of it.
So from what others have posted here about how it worked in their fellowships, If someone joins a fellowship after the Spire or the tournament have started for the week, they can still do the one they are late for, but none of their points count toward the fellowship totals and they cannot get the fellowship chests for that week. So it is not a true cooldown where they can't do anything at all that week in the Spire or tournament, unlike the neighborly help cooldown, where they cannot give any help at all for the first 24 hours after joining.
And while I have not seen anyone say how it works when someone joins in the time when either the Spire or tournament are not active, the info that Inno did give us sounds like there is no cooldown at that time. But there should not be, since if someone is there for the start in your fellowship, and then jumps to another fellowship, they won't be able to help the 2nd fellowship at all in the Spire or tournament.
