Sorry if this been answered before,
also sorry if this should be in some all-mighty intercepts thread. But:
Will you more likely get intercepts if you play early on the day?
For me in Sweden the game starts a new day at 13.00 (1pm). I know there’s a limit to how many intercepts you can potentially receive during one day.
But my question is, and I’m having a hard time coming up with a good wording for it;
does every player get a new pool of intercepts that they can deplete during the day or does the game itself get a new HUGE pool of intercepts that players draw from during the day as long as they last?
I think I’ve seen more intercepts if I play early. If I play later, I don’t get as many if any at all, so I’m simply wondering if other players might have emptied the intercepts-pool by then?
Intercepts reset at around the same time you get the alliance iso bonus (between 18:00 and 19:00 CET)
At that point your chance to get intercepts will be set to the maximum and then decrease with each intercept you actually get (up to a theoretical maximum of 20). It doesn’t matter if you play your matches right after that reset or in the morning, your chance to get intercepts is independent of other users.
BTW, how do you define “new day”? DDQ? Unless I’m mistaken, that should start at 12:00 Sweden time.
If - as it seems from Bowgentle’s post - alliance rewards aren’t paid out to everyone at the same time, it would be even more proof that it can’t be a global pool.
I am pretty sure that DDQ starts at the same time for all players. Think like the Boss events. What time it is depends on where you are playing.
In terms of alliance & Daily reward, I think it is based on the time you actually started playing. Like, Day 0, hour 0. Mine is 3:00 pm my time, currently (US EST). VIP for me is the exact same time. So, this is highly individualized.
I get my Daily resupply and VIP bonus in the afternoon, around 4PM CET or 10AM EST.
I’ve seen someone mention that the time you get your resupply is based on the first time you logged into the game, but I have no idea if that is correct or not.
What’s the criteria for the number of people having logged in then? Is that number of people who logged in during the 24 hours the last completed DDQ ran for? Within their personal 24 hour cycle? Within your 24 hour cycle? Within 24 hours of the current time?
Simplified example:
Imagine my cycle runs from noon to noon and yours runs from midnight to midnight.
Player C plays one match at 11:00 and one match at 13:00 on the odd days and doesn’t play at all on the even days,
For me, he plays once each day, for you he plays twice every other day.
Not that it would matter much in the big picture, but that would be quite absurd.
I’m pretty sure this is correct. I get my daily resupply at 14:38 (US PST) each day, which seems like really odd timing for something that was standardized, and I think that I first fired the app up right around then.
There’s been an announcement that they’ll be no more intercepts unless you pay to play (intercepts last 28 days after your last payment) and they’ll be available to Steam users. They’ve added some new rewards to DDQ, but they’re far behind the intercepts.
