Territorial War Times...

All times should be listed in PDT so... yeah...

Hopefully it's a typo of epic proportions. Or an oversight.

Go to the official site.

Click on Territory Wars on the right side of the page, scroll down and find the Schedule:p

Zanko~

Server times are EST. So it is 11-2 EST, not PST.

Regardless though the times are a bit late, it should be pushed two hours earlier.

Indeed at least make it somewhat more bareable for our European brethren. 2-5 AM for them. 12-3 sounds a lot more bareable to me.

If the events are 2-5AM (Eastern Standard Time), then Euro times would be 7-10AM (GMT). How is this not bearable? They have the advantage in that regard, I would say.

And to those complaining about the TW times: Why? So many of the events are set for times that are during peak USA times, but they change it up just a little and Americans take a **** all over it.

Yeah. Its an International Version (Not USA + World or something). The servers are based in California but its open to all to play.

You guys need to learn a little bit about the server. This site is PST time, hence when you look at the TW schedule on the site it'll say 8pm. If you're in the server you'll notice that the daily quests will reset at midnight EST time.

I don't really think it matters because I don't even think you will be able to get into the TW. Reason for this is simple. So far none of the daily quests actually work, meaning horse race, forest ruins and whatever. I think the reason for none of this to work is because they set the server to EST time, but it is actually on PST time in some way or another. I can assume this because the daily stone quest begins at midnight EST, but you can't actually take the quest until midnight PST. Horse race can't be entered because the quest to enter begins at EST, but you can't actually enter until three hours later PST but it is long over. Same with all the other quests. I believe the same will go for TW. It'll start at 11pm EST, but I don't think you will be able to enter until 11pm PST, meaning it'll already be over.

I'm just following patterns, I could be wrong.

I've been worried about that. I'll end up being even more disappointed in this server if it ends up being like that also. -.-

Makes sense, these were originally the "East" servers that the only difference was supposed to be the even time. Perhaps when they dropped the East/West designation they forgot to fix the time all the way through the system. So we're missing big chunks of the game, but at least we have "less ping" and "non corrupt GM's". Way to go PWEnt!

Well unless something has changed, there were some TW's done near the end of closed beta and ALL of those wars started based upon EST. (The ones listed at 8pm EST started at 8pm EST, and so on and so forth).

In addition, players were able to get in, because they were suprised to see the level of the monsters they had to face (needless to say, no territories were conquered in CB ). So, unlike the daily events which are obviously out of synch with the time zones, it seems that unless something has changed from Closed Beta to Open, guilds will be able to enter the war when the appropriate time comes based upon EST. (Let's hope at least).

For those complaining that the times will be inconvenient for certain areas of the world, you are right. It will be. The only way around that is to add new servers that are based upon different time zones.

The war days are spread out over three days (Friday - Sunday) so that guilds and players can spread out the time dedicated to the game, rather than lumped all in a day or two (later when more guilds get active this will be more apparent). To try and run "all time zone friendly" multiple start times through out those days would gimp others. Example, a "prime" playing time of 8pm for someone in the UK would end up being either 3,2, or 1pm in the States, and Friday wars would leave all those players either at school or at work.

EVERY server will have these issues, PW-MY, even though it lured people in with it's "English" title, catered specifically for the Malaysians, a 12 hour time zone difference for east coast US players, 15 for west cost. We just participated when we could, because it wasn't (couldn't) be feasibly altered without leaving someone out in the cold. Only a new server dedicated to those time zones will alleviate the issue, but in turn, pass the issue on to other players from other time zones.

Unfortunately, people interpret the "International" part of PW-INT to mean whatever suits them (all nations treated equally). International, by definition, simply means more than one nation. I am sure if it were feasible, there could be a euro-time based server added to the PW-INT server list, but that would take a large enough player base to justify (paying player base preferably), and with the upcoming PW-EU, I just don't think that will happen.

This might not be what some want to hear, but it is what it is.

The time is horrible, period. It's always defaulting at this time until multiple siege sadly. This needs to be earlier; A LOT earlier if you want Poland/EU to stay in this server.

Not just that, but lots of EST players can't even stay up for TW cause it's so late. PST is fine.

Change, this time blows for almost everyone; just erase this time.

If you look at the TW times for Sat and Sunday there are earlier periods but like it wont happen unless lots of TW are going on. = =

I'm giving this thread a bump. This time is killing Euro players and some players that is around 5AM for TW. It's really pathetic and sad.

It is impossible to cater to everyone at all times. This version of the game is located in California, so times are based on that region. Planned events will be inconvenient for someone. If it's so much of a hassle, I'm sure you could play PW-MY or wait for the Euro official to start.

Don't take this wrong but this is USA based and its primary intent is USA. It would be pointless to change it for EU, since they getting own version, and TW will be geared for EU players.

sure, but this is still the INTERNATIONAL game, and they said, they will make events suiting differenents time zones (TW also). So they didn't keep their word.

Some Europeans won't move to european server cause they already leveled here, and don't want to start from the beginning, for the 2nd/3rd time.

What will they do to this group of customers?
