I hope there is an error and please let it be in the Patchnotes. Because…
Team Battle League
[NA] Klaipeda & Orsha : 04:00 / 19:00 / 22:00 (EDT)
[EU] Fedimian : 10:00 / 01:00 / 04:00 (EDT)
Which means for central Europe (Germany), DST:
[EU] Fedimian : 16:00 / 07:00 / 10:00 (DST)
Which is horrible. If there is a calculation error meaning that someone calculated in the wrong direction (-6 instead of +6 hours) then we get the NA times.
@STAFF_Ethan could you check this please?
Doesn’t 10:00 (EDT) equal 04:00, and not 16:00. Which is even worse.
Not sure why 4:00 is even selected as a time slot for NA. It is only viable for Alaska and Hawaii.
The current 00:00 or 12:00 are usually a better one cause it’s either lunch time or midnight where people are taking a lunch break or still up late night and then goes off to zzz at 1:00.
If we review the NA time it’s going to be 01:00 / 16:00 / 19:00 PDT, it will be a challenge for some people to get home to play at 19:00, or they have to stay up all the way to 02:00. For kids with clubs and sports do not get off school for that 16:00 time zone and workers are not off either.
No. That would actually be fine.
EDT to DST is +6h. Which gives the times I wrote in OP.
If I do -6h I get 04:00 / 19:00 / 22:00 exactly the same as NA with EDT. The 04:00 is uh strange. But 19 and 22 is after work which is good. I actually likes the morning slot. I would really like but that is not for me to decide.
11:00 / 19:00 / 22:00
SEA too, @.@ 2:00~4:00AM. IMC Kidding
I think the best time would be…
00:00 / 22:00 / 12:00 EDT = 21:00 / 19:00 / 09:00 PDT
Guild Battle at 23:00 EDT = 20:00 PDT.
You’re right, wolfram has failed me. Says it’s 10 hours in the future, aka 04:00, but it’s really not. The other times worked though, weird.
Someone at IMC has gotten the AM and PM confused.
Is it the person writing the patch notes or the person that coded the change?
If it is the patch notes writer then everything tomorrow will be perfect as those times with AM/PM flipped are fine. If it is the coder then we can see where the problems in the game are coming from, a lazy developer who isn’t checking their work correctly or lazy miscommunications of information internally at the company.
We will know when maintenance rolls around, in the meantime @moderators should be aware of this, perhaps a hasty fix can be prepared for the error in advance if they find out sooner rather than later.
This isn’t just a Team Battle League problem. GVG is set to 8am where 8pm would be PERFECT instead.
I hate that AM/PM garbage so much. Just get rid of it. >_>
OP got correct hour conversion.
So I must ask : IMC, is this a joke ??
@staff @moderators please, theses hours are just awfull, none of the pvp events are during prime time. This need to be corrected !
Someone over there really screwed up with am/pm and 24h timers… This times can come out either okey or horrible, depending on am/pm
EU Fedimian:
Is it 3:00 EDT as in “3 am” or “15:00 thus 3 pm”? For me (Location Germany) it comes out either at 9 am in the morning, which would be absolutly b0llocks. Fighting guildbattles at work/school/before breakfast? NO GO! Or it turns out to be 21:00 / 9 pm, which would be perfect in prime… (and which would make sense…)
TBL somehow confuses me even more blergs
