    I still can't score points. The event in my end time definitely started now as its remaining time is decreasing but I can't score points still.

    edit: The problem still exists. I checked again. I got 30 points for a game when there is less than 2d 2h left to finish. It shows I got the point for a brief moment at the bottom left and it resets to zero immediately after. Am I the only one who is having this issue? Am I sandboxed? ****? My ign is Callipos. I'm in alliance S.P.L.O.O.S.H.

    Why oh why didn't you start testing the new end times for the Rocket & Groot Thick As Thieves, too?
    Participation will be through the roof, this would have been the perfect event.
    I really don't get you, guys :/

    Same here.
    This blows.

    Either the devs fix this quick or they start preparing to hand out compensation to affected players.

    Why not six brackets that start every 4 hours. That way everyone will have an end time between 6pm and 9pm. If 6pm is too early, then you can have 10pm. I have a hard time seeing anyone having a problem with this.

    If you have to stay with 5 brackets, then why not even the time differences out. EST 12am, 5am, 10am, 3 pm, 8pm. (a separation of 5 hours each) - an example

    The way it is now, we have a separation (in hours) of: 6,3,6,3. This is causing gaps that may not fit certain schedules.

    I realize that nothing will be perfect, but doesn't it seem logical that having equal time between starts will be more beneficial than 6/3/6/3?

    Because then something could go wrong and people would be **** why they beta test stuff when it rewards new character. I mean, I would love to get PvE time zone for my place, but you can't please everyone. Also I would guess it's more work since you need to sync every subnode as well.

    one thing is that the icon_exclaim.gif icon has stayed up ever since I was able to choose which event time I want to enter. I choose my end time, but I am still see the red icon_exclaim.gif now everytime I log in it looks like I have a new event. It will probably go away once I officially enter, but it should fall off once I choose an event time and then pop up when my event time is available to enter.

    Got that too, and found it annoying. Not the end of the world or anything, but definitely annoying.

    Same here icon_e_sad.gif My first match counted for 27 points, every one since has been nothing. Probably a bad idea to have trialled this in a season, how can they compensate for what I can't give to my alliance's placement?

    *EDIT* Finally scoring now, but took 4-5 pointless matches before it kicked in.

    I am still losing points (or points are coming out of nowhere) in PvP.

    Also I couldn't select the last event start time (at the very bottom of the list). The UI won't let me select it...

    I think that may have been based on your selected end time. I could be wrong, but it seemed like my alliance mates who chose earlier end times got access to the event earlier, while I had to wait till the Spidey PvP ended since I chose the standard 1am EST time.

    I think it's to create a fair event where all players have the same 2.5 days to play.

    Regardless of that there is something buggy with some players not being able to score even if the event seems to have started for them. I haven't played today yet to see if it's fixed for me. Also, alliance chat is not working which adds on the issue. With all negatives coming at the same time, I'm this close to rage quitting the game altogether. Last night in Web Slinger I started seeing 166 opponents at 550 points.

    But - _please_ tell me this end time fix is not only for PVP? Because PVE end times is what _really_ needs fixing.

    We'd use these times for PvE too, yeah.

    (We have the ability to change the times per event - each lightning round will still have a single ending time for everyone, for example - but we'd like to stick to a common pattern for most events for predictability's sake.)

    You know what's good for this? This new invention all the high tech companies are using. It's called a calendar with event start and end times.
