It's almost as thought Gree TRIES to pick WD weekends with complicating factors. This time it's Daylight Savings Time.

CJ, has your team has considered the possible ramifications of DST occurring during the event --- both for battles that are in-process during the time change, and accurately scheduling the TIME the event ends (since the in-game countdown clock has never been reliable)?

CJ - I know there were issues with daylight savings time impacting bldg payout times previously. How has that been resolved? Are we to rely on the clock, or the actual # of hours since last collection? Please advise, so we can plan ahead.

DST?

In autumn, time falls backward.

In spring, it springs forward.

Heck, some places on this planet don't care.

I see DST having no impact on battles in progress.

Why?

Sixty minutes is still sixty minutes irrespective of DST.

We are simply playing a game, while engaged in pretending to attack.

No problem, Gree has things well in hand.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! hahaha this is getting hilarious. Anybody want to place bets on what their new Daylight Savings "We're Sorry" Unit will be? Last time it was the Daylight Chaser air unit (given out MONTHS after the fact btw).

This time I'm gonna guess a ground unit, The "Daylight Punisher" Tank, capable of crushing all your hopes and dreams that this game is getting better! :p
