The timing of the Storm pvp was not adjusted after daylight savings were changed. The season ends 1 hour before the slice 5 pvp. Which is going to damage my season placement.
How are you going to tie in the end of slice 5 storm pvp and the end of the season? My whole alliance will also suffer from this oversight.
What is going to happen to put this right?
It won’t. This happened last year with DST and was asked earlier this week. Nobody answered. Total media black out. So nothing will be done. You just deal with it and make sure you don’t play the last hour cause it won’t matter.
Same procedure as every year.
I guess they couldn’t find a way to spin “it’s not worth our resources to try to come up with a fix, so deal with it” in a positive light, so they chose radio silence.
As usual.
So, what? Your score an hour before the event ends rolls into your season score?
Or if we’re playing slice 5, we basically lose an entire event’s score from our season score?
Any score that you get after the season end doesn’t count. This is what happened the last time and the time before that and the time before that and… maybe they will fix this next time.
What compensation did they give the players affected by the DST previously?
A pat on the head and a “Go tiger”.
aren’t devs and / or management bothered by threads like these?
or they just don’t care anymore?
I think you probably know the answer to that question…it appears no, they really dont…
They are on Discord not here. Only here to post events and stuff.
The devs are hard working people but unfortunately dropped the ball on this one
That’s sad. I thought they would compensate by those group of players giving some HP or ISO-8 like they have been doing for the past few rounds, even though it won’t change the fact that some players will lose more than just a couple hundred iso-8 or HP. A few hundred to 1000+ points can be placement-changing.
Hi Everyone. I spoke with the team, and they confirmed that the event duration should have been the same as usual. So even though the event ends an hour earlier than the usual time, I presume that the event started an hour earlier as well, which means the full duration was retained. Was that not the case?
@Brigby , what you are saying is essentially correct, but is not the problem being discussed. The PvP event was still the correct duration, as was the duration of the season. The issue at hand though is that the PvP event started at it’s normal time, while the season ended an hour earlier than normal seasons, by the time shown on the clock in the US. This was set up when the event start times, after the time change, were set back to their normal start times, again by the clocks in the US. The effect was seeing the season end one hour prior to the PvP event ending, affecting primarily players in the last time slice, discounting any points they may have gained in that last hour as far as season scores are concerned.
Yes what Beast said. That’s why people were trying to bring attention to this before the event started. So the last hour of Storm PVP didn’t count for any season ranks because the season was over. They should end at the same time but didn’t due to time change, which moved the season end time UP 1 hour from 3am ET to 2am EST while Storm ended at 3am EST.
Thanks for clarifying that point for me! I’ve passed that along to the team for review.
