Poll Regarding GST Time - 2

KuyaGabeGraal · 09-19-2012

Figure out a time we can all agree to then, because i really dont like to wake up at 3 to do gst. I have tons of sh*t to do and This is the only event or even the only thing thats making me wanna play graal even though i am not even in a position to play it as much as i used to before because of college but It'd be awesome if gst time would be changed to a time that everyone can agree to really. Thnx

4:30PM EST

UK - 9:30PM
France/Germany/Netherland/Spain etc - 10:30PM
Australia - 8:30AM
Japan - 6:30 AM

Is that any better for people?

Last time we held it at 4 PM EST on a Saturday.

West Coast - 1:00 PM
Mountain Time - 2:00 PM
Central - 3:00 PM
East Coast - 4:00 PM
UK - 9:00 PM
France/Germany/Netherland/Spain etc - 10:00 PM
Australia - 8:00 AM (Sunday)
Japan - 6:00 AM (Sunday)

The event takes about a couple hours to complete, and this is pretty much the best time to host unfortunately that may inconvenience those in East Asia but that should be expected given the game is primarily NA and Europe players.

KuyaGabeGraal · 09-19-2012

Make it 5pm or 6pm est, NA wont be affected and im sure the european area wont mind gst to be a little bit late at night since the fact majority graal players play way past midnight anyway especially weekends. Thats when gst will occur... And also because i certainly dont like for gst to be starting first thing in the morning again -_- very least make the right time for asia server to be 6 or 7am UTC+8

The world is round. No matter what time you change it to someone will be affected. The current time, as fp4 said, is fine and accommodates the majority of people.

It changes around from like 3-6 pm est which I think is too early. People do stuff during that time.

The current event time is a reasonable time of day for all the places in the world with the highest population of Graal players. Players in the UK end up at 2-3 AM anyway after the GST is over, while players in the USA finish up at about 9-10ish. You can't make it a perfect time for one time zone, while other time zones suffer like that. I would like it at a later time.. but hey, it really wouldn't be fair.

For example, Japan.. If the GST begins at 9 PM EST, that means all the Japanese players will have to wake up and be online at 10 AM JST for the event to begin. Everyone in between the USA and Japan would have to play at a ridiculous hour. I'm sure you can handle a little discomfort to allow our foreign friends to also participate at a reasonable time of day?

10 am that's not bad at all lol

KuyaGabeGraal · 09-19-2012

Just asking for a 1-2 hour bump up

Blueh · 09-19-2012

Poor African Graalians. No one thinks about their time zones.

MrSimons · 09-19-2012

The time can't be adjusted to be fair, no matter what someone will be at an inconvenience. So if it's not at a convenient time for you your options are man up or move across the world.

Xavier · 09-19-2012

I'm always busy at 6 PM on Saturdays, so I've never gotten through a GST without ending up AFK in the middle of a spar.

KuyaGabeGraal · 09-20-2012

I really dont see how u need to man up for this lol, but whatever. discussion ended. Tried to get a new time at least 1-2 hours later than usual but can even have that. Oh well

Coraline Thorn · 09-20-2012
