No sir, just wait. You will be allowed to change after the cooling period.

If you just start a new nation mission without abandoning the current quest you can do it as frequently as you like, however if you abandon the quest then you must wait.

Sounds like you found an exploit of the system.

Pretty sure that's fairly common knowledge. I was told how to do it by a couple older players.

That may be common knowledge to those that change nations often; however, by definition any action that is used to curtail a game feature/mechanic is an exploit. If the game makes you wait, finding and using a way around it is an exploit.

It only makes you wait if you abandon the mission line. I think that applies to any mission line not just nation missions.

By starting a completely different nation mission, you are abandoning your previous mission. If you can start the other mission without waiting, you are exploiting the wait feature.

Meh, I never knew it was an exploit because I, along with everyone else, has always done it that way. How do you think people jump from nation to nation in a heartbeat at times?

If you have no active nation mission, you can just switch nations. No wait. Why would I think otherwise. For those that don't finish the missions I would assume they are waiting and moving the following day. Besides a select few players that run through nation missions really fast and hop nations just because (Shadowood), I don't see players nation hopping where I would question how they are nation hopping. When you swap nations are you only going there for a day or two? Why would I assume that you aren't following the game mechanics?
