A lot of us have euro/asian players who play around this time to complete goals while the west sleeps and regen.

And once again : no, no one reads the announcement part of the forum

I hope its not down for too much longer. I really wanted to finish the wrapper for prestige- yep i forgot about daylight savings on the other side of the world and started to use energy refills before it went down.

Also, weren't there in game pop ups about the shut down???

I've not seen pop up and I was empty now waking up UK nice full and that can't bee used so next 5 hrs I can't get any regen, that rubbish about reducing requirements is a joke there hasn't been a prestige LTQ with target needing 900+ energy per hit for over year! for lot of players 15/15 would need 8hrs plus regen per kill, so if and when GreeD turn back on there won't be enough time to use energy and regen another kill. So I suppose it show player appreciation month is well and truly over!!! BOHICA

The right thing to do would have been to ensure no events straddled the clock change. Pop-up, forum announcement or not, shutting down a server farm for 5-6 hours during a time limited event is short sighted.

Again, with the right message confirming the status of any in-flight events or just NOT scheduling any during the shutdown, this would have been much easier.

Or running your servers without needing to change their DST settings..... Countries globally change their clocks at other weekends than the US too! Nobody outside of the US bleated when they lost an hour of regen last time the clocks went forward.

11-02-2014, 01:17 AM
Yep, sucks for Europeans mostly, but even so it's taking out 5 hours of an event so should be extended by 5 hours. Hopefully a big company like Gree will have thought of this and have made the necessary changes.......but part of me fears that they have probably got it wrong and reduced the event time.....

And for all those non euros out there complaining at us complaining, I for one am not prepared to wake up at 5am, on a Sunday morning to use 4k energy to ensure I complete prestige LTQ. The funny thing then is if we get the extra 5.5+ hours back, the event will finish early hours of Monday morning. Now that means we will have to A: still lose sleep or B: miss out on a few hours of the LTQ and that inevitably makes increasing the length of the LTQ completely pointless. The US will then be able to take full advantage of that to save even more gold/energy packs so either way for Euros it's a lose lose situation.

There's only one way to solve it in my opinion and that's to give everyone 10 energy packs. When (if) the serves ever come back while the US are still sleeping, they will find everything in their base has disappeared which is not fair on them either

Some of my accounts on, others not. No pattern unless user accounts are assigned to specific servers and they are booting on a cycle. Accounts that are up are raiding heavily, rich pickings. I guess my accounts that aren't online yet are getting rinsed, quid pro quo.

Have three accounts and can get on on iPod, phone which is. Android, but not on iPad. Guess which one has all the energy, is highest on income per hour and whose buildings will be raided. Strange how they are on different servers but nothing to be done except wait. Extending hours is pointless as I ain't staying up till whatever time in the morning to play a game, so imagine we wil get 3 energy refills as will those who have slept through whole thing as agree make half hearted attempt to remedy problem.

A complainer about complainers...I trust you see the irony, and you will honor your own advice, to buck up or shut up. I hope "shut up."

An app game that needs its players to use a separate forum for essential playability information is overly complex. You would think with all of the constant pop-ups that at least one of them would give a heads-up on the downtime.

Yes and if you were awake you would discover that the changes ARE screwed up. The event which everyone got short changed on due to server downtime ended at 5pm DLST though in game the applied 'fix' shows that the event is about to end an hour after that.

Perhaps you should get a clue or three before you post next time....

Gree's 1 energy refill they just handed out was a slap in the face. I am a player in Japan and we sat and waited for 6 hours (during the afternoon) for the server maintenance. Then suffered through 4 more hours of not being able to log in. Got raided for 100's of millions which I don't even really care about. What is the most frustrating is my mission plan and timer on my goals said I would have until 10 min ago to complete goals (prior to servers going down) this morning I wake up to go to work find the goals already over leaving me complete with 13/15 on prestige and full energy. Is 1 energy pack really the attempt to correct this?
