Time zones and impacts from daylight saving time

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ General Discussion

DST finally switched off and moved back into British Summer Time last night and wondered how the differences and time zones affected everyone. I think it’s the first time I can recall a season ending shortly after, and a boss event in the gap.

I found the boss event much easier to manage. An 8am/4pm/12am reset worked well for me and better than the usual 9am/5pm/1am.

PvE was a pain though: either a 9pm (slice 3) or 3am (slice 4) made it a bit harder to play and win.

PvP was broadly the same as I normally shield the last 8 hours or so.

How did it affect your play?

I’m in the UK and it’s not too bad. For the boss events, I do prefer the 12am reset because it means I’m not staying up as late lol - but there’s always a little jolt when I forget that the clocks change and my brain goes from “no presh, I’ve got just over an hour to finish these nodes before they reset” to “OH SHIITAKE ACTUALLY I HAVE JUST 12 MINUTES”

Also, am I wrong, or does DST actually switch ON for the summer? I seem to remember somewhere that BST is technically “UTC/GMT +1”

I’m UK also, and so glad the clocks have finally changed. I’ve missed so many final clears in the last 3 weeks!

I guess I’m in the minority in this very small group so far, in that I do my boss event clears in the morning rather than staying up until midnight / 1am. So for me the time change was not good because it meant waking up a bit earlier at the weekend to play before 8am.

For regular PVE, 10pm works quite nicely for me but I did surprise myself by actually remembering to do my clears at 9pm for the last 3 weeks. I am very glad it’s back to normal now though.

wish it stayed the same as it was last three weeks 5PM fits much better than 6PM

I wish we’d all just do away with daylight savings time.

That is correct! Never knew that.

I am in Japan, we do not do DST, so I like the 1 hour earlier starts,

Same here! Glad these 3 weeks are finally over, slice 5 (7am) is the only one I can actually play, so having it one hour earlier was just painful.

Pvp isn‘t a problem for me, Pve is 11pm normaly, so it was 10pm, but actually no big deal since I stay up until 1am…
