    I'm from Europe but because of my work schedule, the new times for pve are awful for me. There's only one slice (slice 1) where I can take time to grind and start the new sub right away... but if I do that it seems I can't do all the nodes without being a bit late at work then, so i think I'm going to give up on that slice.
    The other slices are either during work time or sleep time. So not much choice... sucks when you are in a top alliance and you want your personal ranking to be top 20. icon_e_sad.gif

    East coast US player. 3 out of 4 of the changes are good for me.

    The W-F, F-Su PVP times are better (slice 4 is now midnight instead of 1am), and the PVE slice 4 time is now 11PM, which means I can clear at 11PM, 7AM, 3PM (I work 8-2:30, usually home by 3) if I really want to play PVE optimally.

    The M-W (or Su-Tu) pvp time went from 10PM EST Tuesday to 8PM EST Tuesday... that's slightly worse for me.

    So overall, better I guess.

    For me old time slices were far better.
    I usually chose 10pm for PvP which was most optimal (after getting back from job, eating and spending some time with girlfriend). Sometimes I could take 7pm if I were earlier at home.
    Now I am forced to end PvP at midnight which is a bit too late for me, and the previous time slice ends at 6pm when I usually also end my work :/

    I went new, because PvE 11pm is significantly better than midnight, and the Wednesday 1am is better than Wednesday 4am by a healthy margin as well. Friday/Sunday night PvP is mostly unchanged for me (midnight/1am has no real difference).

    I think the poll has an issue in that there are 2 types of events that had changes. I read that a lot of Europeans were upset with the new PVP time slices. I for one vastly prefer the new PvE time slices, but am totally indifferent to PvP time slices (as they don't require a huge grind + clear). I can't stress enough how much I prefer the new PvE time slices, I can actually get a good nights sleep on them.

    I wish they would have just added two additional time slices as opposed to completely changing the time slices. I haven't been able to play PVP all season since the change.

    I voted every four hours. Right now, I have a choice of 5 pm or 11 pm (EST), and anything from 7-10 would be great, but if they don't change times I may be stuck with 8 am. I don't know why they insist on these huge gaps in the schedule. PVE times have consistently been terrible for me - 11 pm is slightly better than midnight, but still bad, and I'm not doing it again.

    Every four hours should give everyone without hyper-specific schedules a decent time slice. Not quite as guaranteed as every three hours would be, but still okay. Any time 7 pm-10 pm would be fine for me - 8 or 9 would be ideal, but 7 or 10 would be ok - and I haven't ever had a decent end time since the time slices started.

    I am hoping the developers address this. I have not been able to play much either PVP or PVE due to the new time slices.

    67% of the players on this poll do not want the new time slices.

    Did they change the times again? My Smash Back PVP ends at 8 PM EST, not any of the listed times, even with Daylight Savings Time.

    Since they are going to run PVE/PVPs back to back to back to.....you get the point, why not have 4 slices that are spaced 3 hours, then rotate the 12 hour block every other PVP/PVE?

    It may not be ideal for everyone but it creates 8 time slots (4 each PVP) and the big thing is it condenses slices. They are necessary, but there is HUGE fluctuation between them due to high scorers coordinating so the fewer the better IMNSHO.
