After the recent patch, I can't seem to get 2 BH per day anymore. Before, I just get one BH when new day start and get another one after I wake up (5-6 hrs later). The recent patch made that no longer possible (at least for me). So anyone out there that can still get 2 BH per day anymore? Was the 2 BH per day just a bug that the dev fixed it with this patch? Any helpful comment contribute to this thread would be greatly appreciated!

    lol....anyone on this forum that doesn't bash people in every post anymore? or is it full of jerks and whiners? And i'm not talking about stacking it...i'm talking about do 2 of them everyday. Stacking to me mean you didn't do BH on day and keep it till next BH to kill it at same time. Also kindly do not post if you going to post something negative...there are enough threads out there that welcome your kind of postb:bye

    It is because you receive a random boss each 12 hours, and if they give you a boss you already have, you won't get it.

    I know that bell, but it's just weird to me now that since the patch I always get 1 BH (can't be my luck that I get same boss everyday isn't it?b:shocked). Same as my friends who I asked everyday since the patch. Before the patch, I never have any problem getting 2 of it each day.

    You were lucky before, and now you lost the streak. Who knows, you might get 2 again today.

    maybeb:chuckle....I guess it's too soon to say that we can't get 2 bh anymore since the patch haven't been out for more than a week yet. I hope you're right...those bh really help with lvling lol. If any gm can give some insight that would be great.

    It wasnt 12 hours. The server's tracking of the boss change was off from the actual server 'midnight' reset for dailies. The BH boss change came 4 hours after the daily reset time, at 4am server time. The BH still responded to the dailies reset. As such you could get a new one right at dailies reset, however, the boss did not change yet. So the one you get right at reset is identical to the main one of the prior day. If you had not completed it, then you couldnt pick a new one up, as BH only allows stacking of different bosses, but not of the same boss. Then when the BH boss reset time came at 4am, the BH boss would change. If you went up to the NPC it would notice you dont have todays (now new & changed) boss nor have you completed a BH for that boss yet that day, and give you another one.

    Because BH checks only if you've done the BH for that boss given to you that day, the fact that its changing of bosses was off by 4 hours caused this glitch of 2 possible BHs per day. They've appareantly re-synced the boss change up with server time dailies reset, and as such you're now limited to the intended 1 per day. However, it is possible it wont last, they fixed it once before... lasted 2 days & was broken again.

    Edit: I should say i dont actually know if they've re-synced, i havent verified. The above is just a response to the person wondering why they cant get 2 per day. It might also be that they have the boss already & thereby cant pick up another. But my explanation is about, if 2 can be gotten, why that occurs.

    Edit 2: ninja edit (but acknowledging it). Removed an appareantly erronious peice of info about the BH time being global, any posts up till #15 that quoted this, were quoting the slight error in info.

    probably fixed or something.

    I used to get one after reset, and the 2nd one next day after coming back from work. If i had a quest BH left on my log and it didnt give me another one, then i know i have double of the same upcoming. After the patch, i finished BHs but it did not give me a 2nd one even when my quest was empty of BH.

    I get 2 a day.
    It wasnt 12 hours. The server's tracking of the boss change was off from the actual server 'midnight' reset for dailies. On west coast servers it was off by 4 hours, on east coast servers it was only off by 1(not personally verified) hour (so globally the BH time was at the exact same moment on all servers

    It goes by server time, not one specific time regardless of time zones. 4 hours after a new day on eastern servers as well.

    I got 2 yesterday, one within the first 4hours after the daily reset and another one after it so it doesn't seem like the patch has done anything yet, most days i get 2, some just 1, pretty random

    It's bugged, i had the same problem before after server restart i wasn't able to pick second BH.
    What you have to do is to do the BH you already have ( so you won't have any BH quests on your list) and then it should come back to normal. Also trashing the quest seems not to fix it, at least it didn't fix it for me.

    Don't know what's going on with you people but i'm having troubles with BH. I pick up the one after daily reset and do it pretty much straight away (there's always people looking for squad then). Then i don't get another one till after reset the following day. it's been going on for about a week and i've got no idea.
    posted a ticket but not heard anything back.
    Please people. some advice?

    You're not supposed to be able to do two in the same day. The fact that we're able to is because the boss change and server reset aren't synced up, so submitting a ticket won't help you to get two BHs again (and will simply confirm to the devs that whatever fix they applied is working).


    As for your not having more than 1 BH lately for over a week, I post this screenshot from yesterday in response:
