DragonK Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) 1st, ruined my amazing comeback plan that I had been working on for a week. Literally a week of patience and strategizing to overcome the shit that last bad update forced on me. 2nd moved the day change from 8 (9 in daylight saving time) to freaking 1 am. Not too pissed but I'm more for starting wars in morning than before going to bed. One bad update after another. Might as well quit the game.

Callum Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 im lost. i would have expected the US to the primary source of players. yet this seems to benefit only European players.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiney Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Could at least take daylight savings into account, it's 2am for most of Europe now, definitely worse than it was for European players. Edited April 6, 2016 by Phiney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Dragonsand Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Asks for timezone feedback, gets overwhelming feedback for US Eastern, sets game-time at UTC. Well done Sheepy. I agree with the flame alchemist. Wouldn't US Eastern time zone be the most beneficial for an American player base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalev60 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Sheepy, just add an option for players to choose the way the clock is shown in-game , 12 and 24 hour clock needed to actually figure out what this update actually means. 1 Charlie Chaplin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Asharak Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Thank you! I am sorry for the 20% of the players that were negatively impacted by the change, however as one of the 80% in the US this is a perfect update time. No more staying up to 1am, which meant it rarely happened, and trying to get up the following 6am for real life.

Sweeeeet Ronny D Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks sheepy, and I assume all the players on the east coast of the US also thank you for no longer having to either stay up till 3am, or wake up at 3am for update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Alex Posted April 6, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted April 6, 2016 Asks for timezone feedback, gets overwhelming feedback for US Eastern, sets game-time at UTC. Well done Sheepy. The overwhelming support for UTC, you mean? 69% of players who voted in the poll wanted this change. https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11887-server-time-zone-poll/ GMT+0 seems fair. Though some warning might've been nice, hah. I intentionally did not warn anyone, so as to prevent any unfair advantage by having insider knowledge. "The majority of the other 20% of the players in in Western Europe and Australia, which are not terribly impacted by this change." Hasnt europe now the same problem american people had before? I understand why so many people like this update, for me its the worst in pW history. Eastern Europe will have similar problems as the East Coast of the US previously, but as I pointed out, there's a lot less players in the former region. Don't you think you are killing the EU market where you probably have the most growth potential? No, I don't think people are going to quit because the military update is at 2AM; 80% of the players now didn't quit because of it. Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

Linus Vulp Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Eastern Europe will have similar problems as the East Coast of the US previously, but as I pointed out, there's a lot less players in the former region. Thats why i asked if they are any numbers on how many users are from "europe without GB and portugal" and australia/asia. Correct me if i am wrong, but why not GMT+8? Its 9am PSt-> no problem, 18pm cest-> no problem and even midnight for 25% of the world population. That would make the update "playable" for people in China, Europe, africa and america, not just in asia/america. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
