i haven't been paying attention to the details here, what day of the week do the weekly buffs change? Has anyone made a thread that tracks the buffs that I just can't find?

Thanks!

  • They aren't exactly weekly. They go event to event. They were supposed to end halfway through Beast, but they didn't, and new ones started for Doc Ock. The current list will go through Heroic: DA and at least 1 more PvP if not 2. They began on a Friday IIRC.

    Bottom line tho, they will not ever change mid event, whoever you start the event with boosted is going to stay.

    Actually, I believe d3 considers Fri as the start for some reason unknown. There are other games that consider Fri as the start too. Not sure what's the reason behind it.

    D3 has mentioned that the PvEs are now 3, 4 or 7 days to fall within the week. TaT was 4 days and the current PvE is 3 days making a total of 7 days for the week.

    Expect the buffed characters for next week to show up on Friday.

    Agreed that Friday should be the start of the next rotation. The reason is because this current season started on a Thursday, and D3 needed to have the rotation in effect for the first event.
  • While it's true the PvE's will typically line up for Friday change overs, the PvP's don't. Not to mention that Slice 1 for the next PvE would start on Thursday, and they will have the new rotation. And Trial By Combat ends Friday at 5 AM PST for S1, and Friday Midnight for S5, and it has this "weeks" buffs, implying the new buffs will start Saturday for PvP.

    No, it's not Friday to Friday it's either 1 7 day PvE or 2 3/4 day PvE's and roughly 3 PvPs (7.5 days)
  • It sure looks like the list just lasts for 3 consecutive PvP events (roughly 2.5 days each) or 2 short PvE events (3/4 days) or 1 long PvE event (7 days).
