UTC is wrong on launcher all the time.

Currently, the launcher states that maintenance will take place on October 16th from 7-9:30am Pacific (02:00-04:30 UTC).

This is wrong.

It should read: October 16th from 7-9:30am Pacific (14:00-16:30 UTC).

Perhaps whoever is writing these notifications on the launcher should use http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/pst-to-utc-converter to get the times right?

    No. It's the fact that they don't know how to use the 24-hr format.

    perhaps they want to make you feel like you are living in a time warp, or maybe they just dont know how a 24hour clock works.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Or maybe the people complaining have a tenuous grasp of geography and thus don't understand that Europe is ahead of the US in timezones. :rolleyes:

    Can't tell if serious or trolling...

    But yes 1am Pacific does not = 01:00 UTC, it is 13:00

    We are more than aware we are ahead, cryptic seem to believe we are behind :P

    Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on this. I did point this out in another thread but alas, and idiot still types the times out :(

    Best bit, the link they use for "your time zone" - does it right. So why don't they use that for the UTC and check before posting.

    It's not a matter of like. UTC is by definition a 24 hour format; there is no AM or PM in UTC.

    this is because:

    1. americans dont know about 24h clocks &

    2. the american timezones are the only timeszones wich a relevant

    I think this sums it up.
