Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 KAW ADMIN let me help you understand a normal work day for uk We start work I'm morning usually 8-9am bst And finish work 4-5pm We don't all work from home and have to travel home and some of us actually have dinner. Now I have shown you a snap shot of a typical working day in uk you can explain how changing a war that started at 8pm bst and now starts at 5-5.30pm is possibly going to help ppl take part. These war times will fail this is a told you so before the fact.
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 Last week I was disappointed cos I could only do one war, I was really pleased to hear you say you were going to change times for this week. Now the only war I could do last week has been removed idk if I'm the only person these times world be ideal for, but please introduce some wars at the following: PDT-2pm EDT-5pm GMT-9pm SGT-5am Or PDT-1pm EDT-4pm GMT-8pm SGT-4am
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 5pm gmt that's another war any working person won't be able to do and the others at 11pm bst not many will join them either
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 Agree with KoS - working hrs including travel time for me is 8am - 7pm - war 3
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 If Europe is only meant to have 2 wars which are at advantageous times, then wars starting at 7 or 8pm gmt are best. The problem comes with the fact that the wars which are arranged for the other time zones end up being impossible for European players. In order for Europeans to earn the new equipment, we need to war more than twice a week. We appreciate that it is tricky to balance the wishes of all the time zones, but it still feels that you are making it impossible to war sufficiently from Europe, especially if you work, have a family or are at school - which essentially is most of us. Please keep trying to sort this.
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 :lol: from the wording of kaw admins post last week, I somehow knew this was going to happen. Warring at 8pm BST is not late. If you understood what the complaints were, you wouldn't have done this. People were saying warring at 11pm and finish at 1am or later is difficult and even later for rest of Europe. Warring at 10pm would have be manageable, now you refuse to accommodate daylight savings it even more difficult.
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 Oh and please change those 2 wars back to the same times as last week. Please
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 NO AGAIN CHANGE GMT TIME, WAR WAS 7PM TUESDAY TONIGHT NOW ITS 10PM THIS IS A JOKE CHANGE IT
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 Kaw_admin : I'm sorry can you please explain to me thinking behind moving war 3 and 7? War3 started at 6pm GMT (UK 7pm, Germany 8pm, Romania 9pm) - do you really think those countries had issue with that? War7 started 7pm GMT (UK 8pm, Germany 9pm, Romania 10pm) When Europe came to forum last week complaining about day light saving they try to tell you that war2, 5 and 12 moved from 10pm UK to 11pm UK, 11pm Germany to 12pm Germany, 12pm Romania to 1am Romania. All we wanted was move those wars back 1h to accommodate daylight saving! All you have done is move the two wars we all were happy with to ridiculous time.... So Europe already can't make war 1,4,8 and 10 (as they start 3am, 4am, 5am for europe) and with day light saving they couldn't do 2,5,12 and now you ruined even 3 and 7 for us . All we wanted was move war 2,5 and 12 back 1hour to accommodate day light saving! I strongly recommend to fix this before the start of this weeks wars! We already waited whole week for those changes and now you made another week simply impossible for us. Many thanks LnR-Jedlina-LnR
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 Great post their barcode hit the nail on the head !!! Did u really listen last week kaw admin !!!!
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 Ok kaw_admin, I think you are really kidding us, we said tons of time we want some war times at 6-7-8pm GMT especially for war 2/5/12 because it's always 2-3 hours too late for us and you changed the only good times for europeans to make it even worse. Bring back the original times for war 3 and 7 and change war 2 5 and 12 if you want TO PLEASE EUROPEANS, NOT THE OPPOSITE !!!!!!! FRIDAY WAR WAS AT 7PM WHICH IS A TIME WE CLAIM TO WAR AND YOU REMOVE IT, WAR 3 WAS AT 6PM AND WASN'T BAD FOR US, AND YOU REMOVE IT TOO WHEN WE WORK, I M CAPS LOCK RAGING BUT COUNT ON WEEK 1 THREAD HOW MUCH TIMES WE SAID TO MOVING TIMES 2 HOURS EARLIER FOR THE 10PM WAR !!!
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 I would also like to point out the Europe timezones, cos you seem to be a bit confused. GMT 1 (Portugal, UK) GMT 2 (Spain, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Switzerland,......) GMT 3 (Finland, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Romania,.....) GMT 4 (Rusia,...) So as Jedlina (barcode) already pointed out in previous post moving war 3 and 7 just made things even more difficult. All we wanted was accommodate day light savings in war 2, 5 and 12. Ideally you move it 2 hours, but we all be happy if you move it that one hour which day light saving time took away... And I'm with Jedlina that you should move fast and fix it for this week already!!!! And please return war3 and 7 back....
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 Therefore, I'll make the schedule to please the europeans so you can adjust it to what WE prefer : War 1 : GMT 2am War 2 : GMT 6pm War 3 : GMT 6pm War 4 : GMT 2am War 5 : GMT 7pm War 6 : GMT 2pm War 7 : GMT 7pm War 8 : GMT 2am War 9 : GMT 2pm War 10 : GMT 2am War 11 : GMT 1pm War 12 : GMT 7pm I let the 2am wars because I know you need to accomodate all timezones, but this is approximatively what we want. Most of what we want is 6pm-7pm since GMT didn't move 1 hour forward so there is now a 1 hour more difference for UK and 2 hours for most of europeans with GMT.
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 I think it's safe to say to was right. Please stick with the same schedule as last week. There were at least a cpl in the week that Europe could do. Nobody understands why you've moved our best 2 wars to a time we can no longer do them and claim that it is to help us. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who is worse of with this change. The biggest issue is that we don't JUST need to be free for the 2 hours of war, but at least 1 hour before hand usually 2 in order to prep correctly. A war starting at 6pm means match up and therefore prep starts at 4pm.
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 DON'T CHANGE WAR 3 IT'S PERFECT FOR ME AND OTHER PEOPLE IN HIGHSCHOOL IN THE U.K
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 7pm and 8pm start is best for UK in GMT, ie. 8/9pm BST. This allows people to get home from work, do prep and war whilst still being able to function at work the next day
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 What can I say. last week you promise to review times to help Europe and uk. This week again we are stuck largely with our times being in the middle of the night, ideal for families school kids and people at work the next day. Actually thinking about it the earlier ones we get are just as great with us being at work or school. Two wars a day is it impossible to give us a war in the evening (early evening) at a time when all can do at a sensible time without having to kill ourselves to make things work. Lets see kaw v family and sleep from here on. Kaw loses I'll go back to farming and ebs when it's convenient for me. And you can shove these wars. And just give the equipment to your USA customers that are all you care about. I'll forum my other ideas later today to give Europe a shot at mith at least, but this is ridiculous. Week after week you have proven a large portion of your customers mean nothing to you and all you care about is your US dollars coming in. Bet you Europe pays you a lot less now
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 @kaw admin for those of us in UK the current mix of times and no matchups are making it impossible to ever gain level 50 rancor. A 10pm GMT start time rules alot of UK and Europe out with wars ending at 1am UK time and later for Europe, the adjustment of times for wars 3
Re: Estoc Trials Season 1 - Week 2 I thought I'd add my two pennies worth to this debate. Obviously I don't speak for everyone, but I do know this opinion is in line with the majority of people I have spoken to regarding these new war times. Please move war 3 back to its previous time slot. 7 is manageable in its new slot (just) but as 3 is supposedly a war geared for European participation the time slot is unmanageable for many. I think to please the masses all you need to do is make wars 2, 4 and 12 one hour earlier. Even just moving one or two of these wars would be beneficial and encourage European/UK participation. A war finishing at 1/1:30 am is just too late for many who have to then get up at 6am the following morning.
