Bidli Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Am I wrong or PST/GMT times are now PDT/BST times and are 1 hour shifted (besides the 8 hour difference between PDT / BST)? Anyway thats why I suggested using UTC as one of the times, bcs that time never change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLordSnake Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 This early, is this legit or troll. But woah, I'm getting up early for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelious Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 TIME: 1:00AM - 5:00AM PST (800 - 1200 GMT) Are you absolutely sure you didnt mess up your numbers again? I would love to start playing at 12.00 GMT, but usually its tiime for the begining of Maintenance, not the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Am I wrong or PST/GMT times are now PDT/BST times and are 1 hour shifted (besides the 8 hour difference between PDT / BST)? Don't give them funny ideas again. GMT doesn't change for daylight saving time. Some of the countries that use GMT switch to another timezone. Others like Iceland and much of western Africa never switch and are on GMT all year. Using BST (or IST or WEST) would just cause more confusion. (or actually did so last year) daylight saving doesn't start everywhere at the same time and not every country does it. It's much easier for everyone (including Eric) to use a standard time they just have to translate to their own timezone. Anyway thats why I suggested using UTC as one of the times, bcs that time never change.. In the end GMT works fine as a synonym for UTC, it never changes for daylight saving, has no offset to UTC and actually used to be the time standard before UTC. The main difference is that UTC doesn't imply that London is the center of the world. But yes, there is a mistake: pacific time has shifted to PDT. 1:00AM - 5:00AM PDT = 8:00 - 12:00 GMT Actually Austin is on CST/CDT (UTC -6/-5), right? Maybe there would be less mistakes if BW just used their own timezone (and GMT/UTC) Edited April 8, 2017 by Mubrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exocor Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I think they just want to assure, that they don't affect the US-Prime-Time, when they have to extend the maintenance due to technical issues. Hopefully, european customers are able, to access the game before it's midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naganje Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) TIME: 1:00AM - 5:00AM PST (800 - 1200 GMT) A maintenance window that's suitable for Europeans... What have you been smoking? Edited April 8, 2017 by naganje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidli Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 But yes, there is a mistake: pacific time has shifted to PDT. 1:00AM - 5:00AM PDT = 8:00 - 12:00 GMT And therefore UTC would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 And therefore UTC would be nice GMT = UTC for all intents and purposes except political correctness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grania Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) If I've done the time zone math right, I'll have time for a couple cups of coffee and then the game should be ready, minus patching - never know with that. Wait, minus? Should be plus patching, stinking math /excited Edited April 10, 2017 by grania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLazarillo Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Updated the time to be PDT. Our maintenance is going to be a bit earlier this week, that is intended Figgers. Normally when I have the day off on new patch day, I don't get to play in the morning since I'm on Central time. Now it gets changed, but it's gonna be a work day. I'll forgive ya if this becomes a consistent thing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie_Swift Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Any patch notes...less than 24hrs and nothing yet? This is probably one of the most expected patches of the year and would be nice to see it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyGoodness Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Well, with the late release of the patch notes, I can only surmise one of two things. Either they aren't going to release the patch this week after all, or, there are things in the patch they don't want us to know about so we won't all mass unsub before tomorrow.:eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Wes- Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Please can you post the approximate size of the patch? I've asked for this off and on for years, and I doubt it is something they will ever do. My guess is that the streaming launcher inflates the effective size of the patch and makes it very difficult to estimate. If they gave an estimate, it would just give folks one more thing about which to complain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
