Can't jump to say go by the in-game timer because we're told previously not to go by that with Brazil.

They would normally end at 2 or 3pm est. which would be 4 days as they said it was going to be. Confused?

My timer says we have till 8pm EST, but from CJ54:
Raid on Egypt Date Change: 3-8 to 3-11
Hey all, slight change:

The Raid on Egypt will start on FRIDAY 3/8/13 at 11 AM Pacific Standard Time, and end on MONDAY 3/11/13 at Noon Pacific Standard Time.

We'll be updating this in the game asap, but wanted to let everyone know here as well.

I just posted that question to CJ. Concerned about the extra 4 hours. Hopefully he gets post and replies to all ASAP. Keep your eyes open for it. Good luck

You would think correcting the in-game timer would be a priority. Who ever has the job of setting the timer should be fired. They've got it wrong several times now. So silly.

I bet they considered this weekends daylight saving a holiday and had the weekend off.

I just got a "push" notification saying it ends in 6 hours, but timer says 10 hours. Discrepancies all over the place. I'll guess its the war clock.

Half of BRAVO is seeing 8 hours to go and the other half is seeing 9!

I believe the issue is because of the servers going down for many hours Saturday night for DST start. Did Gree add those hours back in or do the countdown timers get paused during that time? My android actually has the event ending an hour earlier than my Ipad as well.

More likely they didn't meet their financial projections for the event ;)

ha, maybe true.


I am still thinking they thought this daylight savings weekend was a long holiday weekend (like Presidents Day) and they won't be back in the office until tomorrow. Then they will fix it.

You can play until it ends,or you can stop now. Heck, many players stopped yesterday. You see, we all have the ability to exercise our FREE WILL.

I just want to know when it ends so I can cut the slackers and the one moron who thinks its funny to declare war 20 mins. after the last battle, BEFORE bonuses go out.
We have to get restrictions on who can declare. Some people just don't get the whole "teamwork" thing

I cannot believe they'e done this AGAIN! Didn't they know if they turn the servers off for 3 hours they might have to take a peek at the game clock?

We are in a very tight race to get where we want to be. We are TRYING to keep gold light and I've got plans made for this afternoon becuase I thought this was going to end at NOON PST.

Their attitude always seems to be, "Sorry about that, slight change here.", RIGHT AT THE LAST MINUTE!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I cannot adequately express how peeved I am right now!

The event is being extended by 3 hours to compensate for the downtime -

http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?47987-Schedualed-Matainence-Sunday&p=634858&viewfull=1#post634858

So it seems that the WD event will end at 3PM PDT.

Some people though are reporting the the WD clock has 0 extra hours and 4 extra hours...

This is going to end in tears...

Another 'We fooked up Daylight Savings again' trinket coming our way!?

CJ posted 2 days ago that it would be extended... how is this last minute?

Maybe the sticky at the top with the event times, where 99% of us are looking, should have been updated. Might have made more sense for sharing that important piece of info there rather than buried in a response to an unrelated thread.

Thanks for the info, been looking for this since yesterday as to which one to go by. This is frustrating, I've about had it with these events!

My pleasure and you are right, CJ should have updated the official sticky thread with the updated WD Event times...

CJ hand please... <smack>

All in all he still does a good job in my eyes but there is always room for improvement. :)

I guess we will just have to find out when the game shuts down again. That other note from CJ was pretty off handed and unofficial. and the timers are still skewed. Android guys are going to be a little more pissed off than the usual if it plays out that they get shutdown an hour early.

He only said their "planing on". Theirs nothing official about that. I Plan to do a lot of things and they never get done. Its also a reply deep in someone else's thread.

This is the last I heard in the announcements.

We're planning on extending for 3 hours at the end of the event to compensate.

He said it relating to the 3 hour maintenance shutdown. But my Android account says campaign ends in 49m and my ios account says it ends in 1hr 48m.

Well for one thing it's not 3 hours it's FOUR.

Dutchie you are starting to sound like an apologist for CJ. Gree owes everyone who spent money on this an apology.

Not everyone that plays this game is a forumite so what's on that game display on your device should be ACCURATE UNFORMATION and should NOT BE CHANGED at the last minute or even worse after the events starts.

This is just too much.........

I suspect that you can expect a FREE trinket in the way of an apology to say... 'Sorry for the inconvenience'. It has happened before and I am sure it will happen again.

Are you tired of doing most of the effort in your Faction with too many Freeloaders? Black Ops is looking for some new Gold Spenders. Must have scored at least 50,000 WDs during Egypt, please send me a PM with screenshot to be considered. We are consistently a top 100 Faction looking to solidify a spot in top 25.

03-11-2013, 03:14 PM

AND we didn't get a chance to boot non participants it wouldn't let me

well many things ended 1 hour earlier than others, on my ipad it ended 1hr earlier than on my android. In forum chat I thought what are they babbling about hitting etc, cause the war was over but no, they where still at war while I was not. Pretty big messup. Now next event during big holiday....c'mon. Fix issues with previous battles first please.
