Stormtime Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Sorry if this has been covered, but I only have found the dates listed for the upcoming double XP weekends but not the specific times. Have they announced that as well? I would imagine it may be similar to the last time when they started at 1pm CST but not sure at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I do not know the exact time, I just do something fun during the day and when I get back to play the double exp is active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitokiriAkins Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If we are basing things on last time, some time around 3-4 pm EST, on Friday. It might start earlier, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to lol, these guys can't make up their minds on what time zone they post their times in. I thought they had started using UTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthVengeant Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I fail to see why you cant just make it 4 full days. Start it in the morning on Friday and end in the evening on Monday. This 6pm start time on Friday is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingBa Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 GMT = UTC. These times never change. UK time changes in the summer for daylight saving, this is called BST (British Summer Time) and is GMT+1. I honestly don't see how this is so difficult for people to grasp. For the pedants amongst you I have oversimplified things slightly by saying that GMT = UTC. Although I believe they are currently the same time they are controlled by different organisations (Royal Greenwich Observatory vs an International Council). This means that in future there could be small differences between the two if there is disagreement over the implementation of leap seconds.

CrispenGray Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm just sad that server transfers won't be active by the time the first weekend rolls around. I was planning to level my stranded characters once I'd merged them into a single server/legacy. Ah, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingBa Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I don't live in UK either but GMT/UTC is an international standard. Not knowing your local time modifier to GMT is plain ignorance. It is a requirement when setting the time on most electronic devices that you select your time zone e.g. HANOI (ICT - GMT+7). Of course the world is flat and was created in 7 days 6,000 years ago - but you knew that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Sithed_MyPants Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) How about you screw the idea of 3 separate double exp weekends and make one Gigantic Sextuple XP Weekend or maybe you'll think people still aren't able to level quick enough, maybe 10x exp weekends? /sarcasm Edited June 18, 2013 by I_Sithed_MyPants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo BioWare should providing those too, and not just those weird international ones. GMT/UTC is THE world standard... not some weird international thing. If there is ever only one timezone to be used in an international game, then that would be it. Its the one most people know their +/- from. People who don't... well maybe they should spend less time playing games and more time reading books. But I'm sure, when they make the post, it will have all the timezones you could possibly desire in it. Edited June 18, 2013 by Rantank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 GMT/UTC is THE world standard... The REST of the world, not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilora Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The REST of the world, not here. Idk where you are, TUXs, but it is standard in the US as well. If you notice, when you install windows it asks for GMT +/- X and not just timezone. Granted, it lists them all with corresponding information, like (Eastern, Western, London, Paris) etc. Wouldn't be hard for them to just list it out -- but that would also make it much sloppier and bloated. It really isn't difficult to google, so there is no excuse for people complaining about this. Google is their friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
