Once again a event end is 1 hour before a PVP season end
You couldn’t have put up a 4 day event leaving a 1 day window instead of a 1 hour window?
Please stop doing this
To be fair, most players skip Heroics plus it’s a limited roster leaving you’re PvP hitters okay to finish the season.
It’s not about the health packs, it’s about having to set an alarm for 2AM so that you can merc out of your PvE alliance and back in to your PvP alliance. Oh, and some kind soul has to also be awake at that hour to let you in.
I only merc out for release events, so this won’t matter to me, but it’s still a shitty thing to have to deal with on a pretty regular basis.
Or recognizing this is a game and you don’t need to get everything.
More power to ya for getting up at 2am for this. I’ll be enjoying sleep.
A little bit of foresight on your part seems like it would help: just pick a different end time for your PvE. You don’t need to be in the slice you chose.
Maybe they do it like this to try and stop people from swapping alliances all the time?
That’s not how alliance rewards work, you must be in the alliance at global end time, 2 am est, to earn them. Then migrate to pvp alliance for global season end, 3 am est
You’re missing the point. Unless he’s in a hybrid alliance, he only has 1 hour to switch between pve/pvp alliances
this is a stupid complaint!
you guys want EVERYTHING and dont want to invest ANYTHING.
hey, anon? you want both rewards? from your pvp AND pve alliance? ok, cool. then set your alarm and wake up and coordinate with that “kind soul”
the option given from D3 (to play in alliances) doesnt entitle you to get everything there is to get
hybrid, pve and pvp alliances is something the community came up with, not the dev.
That’s because everyone now sees the “new” tokens for placement and they are trying to win the “extra” rewards!
In all seriousness it’s because everyone needs Elektra as she is a top tier 4*
Eh, it would be so easy to not make it necessary to swap alliances like that. As a commander in a family of alliances, it’s a pain for us; not only do people need to be awake to switch, but someone else needs to be awake to accept them. It has led to us having two hybrid alliances, but my gut feeling is that this has led to prizes not going as far around as previously (I haven’t tracked it carefully enough to be sure about that). D3 might be happy about that, but we are not.
Why would you do an elaborate alliance swap for a single extra blade cover? Get your sleep - if you’re well rested you might get better at identifying good priorities.
Demiurge isn’t at fault.
It’s unfair for the player base to blame them because we want plenty of time to easily ‘game’ the system by swapping alliances for the best possible rewards.
In fact you could make a strong argument that they should deliberately have PvE and PvP events end at the exact same time to promote the intended spirit of alliances.
Yelena looks so sad 
I agree, but I think exceptions should be made for release events and the end of the season. I think it’s unreasonable to force players into hybrid alliances that are forced to compete with both PvP and PvE focused alliances for these long-term and very competitive events.
You aren’t forced into anything. Hybrid alliances and mercing are a player-created artifact.
People care about placement in Heroic PvEs? I thought those were just excuses to ease off and stop when you hit the 4* progression reward.
For quite a few seasons, PVE events would start on Thursdays and would either be a 7 day PVE or a 4 day followed by a 3 day. The latter made it so that PVE ended the night after the weekend PVP. I assumed that was purposefully done due to all the complaints in the past about PVE and PVP ending on the same nights. Apparently it was just a coincidence.
My alliance only requires PVP participation, even though a good portion of us play PVE pretty heavily. On weekends like this, the PVE players tend to just suck it up and lose out on the PVE alliance cover. Or you can sometimes find another alliance that will also be top 100 for the season and put all the non-PVEers in one alliance and all the PVEers in the other. That way you all get t100 Season and the PVE players still get the PVE rewards.
I’ve heard much worse complaints on this forum than this one that don’t get dismissed. While recent changes have been a step in the right direction, the amount of winnable resources that a player can win is still scarce enough that you should try to get all that you can.
It’s not dismissed because it’s unworthy, but because a lot of us look down on alliance shuffling.
I know it makes sense for the participants, and more power to the people who manage families to maximise everyone’s alliance rewards. It does feel against the “spirit” of alliances, though. I don’t really have much more than that.
The Bracket I’m in seems to skip heroics or just doesn’t use limited rosters as well as I do
I don’t rule or anything but my ranking tends to be higher in heroics than in most events
