Fly_or_Die Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Do you think bookmark data will work for this map? I'm up by 715 but busy, so I wondering if I could just start the map and then finish it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatt Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think so, but anyway you could do this map at the 24th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to find an hour that works for everybody, but if it's going to be a world-wide game, they could try doing a couple different time slots.

MaskedAmpharos Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 6:15am isn't the worst time in the world (compared to like 4am or something), but honestly is it even worth it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunwoo Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The game resets at midnight for me. Before daylight savings, it used to be 11 pm. I'm one of the weird people who is okay with the challenge being at 4 am instead of 6 am. I'm usually awake at 4 am, but I need to be in bed and asleep by the time 6 am rolls around (or else I can't sleep at all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korath88 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I prefer the challenge timing as it is now, as I may have lessons during the update time period. The time period is set as such as it will be around the time when most players are home from work and school in Japan. Conveniently, my time zone is only 1 hour behind Japan so I'll be free to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTuckingFypo Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Gods. I don't think I can pull an all nighter for this >_< What I don't get is rather than a 45min grand battle, why not have one that lasts about 6-12 hours? That way everyone's time zone would work out. Sure, I get that the point of this is "urgency", but really, what is the point of running this event worldwide when a good portion of players won't be awake to even acknowledge it?

More importantly, "Why does the Blue Marble have a back side?" Even if we made our marble smaller, the other side would still be half a day off.

The problems you're looking for involve no one being responsible for getting resources Japan can't produce (mining, agriculture...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Europe's fine, too. The event's happening at around midday so it's a more reasonable place to be for this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall was just concerned with the 'leaving' part. The entire community moving to Japan? How many of us are there, anyway? At any rate, aside from Europe's nice time, Australia is also virtually on top of Japan's time. The big problem is that, between the threee general timezones, there's no real universal sweetspot. Australia also has seasonal components to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think it would have been better to give a bigger window, and just raise the number of people required for the special reward. It sucks for people in other time zones and/or have work to do. Then again I don't think they care about the non-Japan time zones since it's 2 hours till the event starts and they never even mentioned it on our in-game message board, nor any non-Japanese social media channels.

Avestus Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 @eclipse it's probably too late, but the news on the main site has wrong time :/ This thread has it right. Can be confirmed by this preview of youtube translation https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL4QXzpNZLo1_qoY_byNzcEknBZJc1wuOP&v=ZFxXMAOQiRY Can you correct that somehow?
