Can we please have all events start at 7pm gmt?

You start war at that time and yesterday the raid boss started at that time too, can we ease have all events start at this time its a lot better for euro players

It's so unfair at the moment!
Events start at 11pm for me & midnight or 1am for other parts of Europe!
7pm GMT is 11am EST (I think) so pretty close to people's lunch break.
Or maybe 8pm GMT so it's spot on midday for EST players (I'm assuming that's when most people lunch break
is)?
Anywhere between 7pm & 9pm GMT would suit a lot more people!

Yeah but then asian and Aussie players are all butthurt their events start at 3am.. It's a game played world wide, so there's always some folks with awful event start times...

I think every event should start at a differnt timezones optimum time to make it more fair to all.

That would be amazing, but i cant see GREE successfully pulling that off, especially with syn events

European players miss a lot of free energy because ltq's start and end in the middle of the night. We miss the first hours and the last hours. At least make each ltq a different starting and ending time and not 48 or 72 hours, but 60 or 84 hours.

We do but everyone loses energy when they sleep unless it never has time to fully regen.

The problem is it will never be fair to all when an event starts. A suggestion, not sure how easy this would be for them to do, is start each event of the of the master plan at a time that would be advantageous to a region, then the next event would start at time that would be advantageous to another region. So if you broke the world into 6 regions, each region would have one event that would start for them at a better time. Then the next master plan you change the times around so the same region is not getting the advantage on the same events.

I think it's perfect. Being in the same time zone as Gree has it's advantages. That being said, a consistent time (regardless of time zones) would be appreciated.

In other news...Go Hawks!! ;)

Since we are giving requests I would like my events only to run from 8am to 6pm Eastern Time. Please also make my hood unfindable to other mobsters from 6pm to 8am. That's not asking much Gree!

My apolagies to anyone who disagrees, but the time of an event starting has never caused me any distress.

Agreed smoke. And if they changed it to suit the UK, then Americams aren't happy, or Asians, or Australians. They can't please everyone, and since they are based in California that's what they go by. They probably could change non-syndicate themed events to start at a certain time in each time zone but that would be a pain. Could you imagine how slow the support response times would be if they had to write the event programs for each time zone. Just not feasible.

i agree . i don't see why US people would be unhappy if it was a little earlyer at least they won't be a sleep . if it was 7/8 EU time then the US and EU would both be awake.

They are also based in japan and they don't make any events for that time, 7-8pm gmt is okay, but im asleep before 11 for work meaning when i wake up im already 8 hours behind on the event
