SYSTEM CLOCK AFFECTS OUTCOME OF MATCHES!!!

  • Put in a weak defensive team and see what happens if you change your clock. I don't think the server database cares about what your clock time is. You'll get attacked for sure as if your clock hadn't changed.

    Did the Alaska Hunt just end? I earned a Yellow Captain America through a heroic token.
  • Are you seriously believing it is made up?

    It happened to me somewhere in last 2 weeks, playing last minutes of tournament. As the game finished I'm getting the tournament prizes while it shows remaining time as like 1:50 mins. After accepting the prizes I'm on the opponent selection screen that looks functional, the timer keeps counting down. As I exited the event's card was no longer present.

    As I wrote earlier you should do as other games: measure the difference of server time and local clock and adjust the display accordingly. As for those who play at end it is all too important info. If someone sets the clock during game I'd consider it his problem, though the program (on PC) could easily detect it getting WM_TIMECHANGE and recalibrating.
  • We're not disputing that changing the clock does something ... we know it can end a tourney for you (when it's still going really) ...but we dispute that you can use the method to lock in a reward spot.

    I won't be able to confirm if this reward was early or not. If anyone else cares they need to find out.

    For now I'm waiting on the next rewards. Which should be tomorrow sometime. I imagine that even if they doesn't lock my reward, that this clock with be the greater issue, and devices not running together.
  • Yes Alaska just finished. It finished at 12 PM EST.
  • Yes, Alaska is done. Just to be clear, you earned the rank of 99 in the hulk tournament. Then you moved your clock ahead so the tournament is over for you. Your theory is that you will receive the reward for a rank of 99 tomorrow when the tournament actually ends for everyone else. If you receive a lower reward, then people were still able to attack you, and the ranks were determined server-side. Correct?

    When you take a screenshot, take it of the reward pop-up and not the cover in your roster. The pop-up will display if you were in the top 150 or not. Other than that, see ya tomorrow.

    I went back on the days and my spots did change. Now whether I leave it and don't check back has any affect, maybe, maybe not. But I can try it out. One last thing. Is that you can advance the days by a week and earn rewards, coins and iso. For me it stopped after two weeks. This clock system is truly bizarre and I don't understand why they did that.

    And now my greatest discovery and why they could very well be suckering themselves out of time and money.

    ADVANCING TIME ADDS HEALTH PACKS!!!!

    It sucks but it's true.

    Obviously, this is the Schrödinger's cat problem with checking your rank.

    (But uh, seriously OP, the rewards are calculated on the server. The client really just displays stuff. Really, truly, just drop this. The healing thing has been known since day 1, there are obvious drawbacks.)
  • It's funny how OP thinks he's the first guy to try changing his clock when this game is 3-4 months old.
  • Quick, all advance your clocks 6 month and check what heros are nerfed by then !!!!11!!1111

    Lol. I just started playing two weeks ago. All the cheaters are no doubt abusing that, and I don't doubt that it will be every player till it's fixed.

    There's nothing to fix. Please listen when all the vets are saying you're wrong.
