Maintenance screwing event

Dear devs, next time a problem occurs during an event please consider putting the server back Ina way that helps a fair competition.

Some people this event will have up to 3 more match for competition cause they managed to get in the game shortly after it was back again.
I was not there launching the game over and over again and had no real eta for it cause your "ends in" is as reliable as the end of world from the Mayan calendar.

So maybe next time proceed to:

- give some reliable advice earlier if possible
- reset score(do not know if this was needed in this case, but should be always done).
- get servers up at a time that has the lesser impact on competition.
For istance in Italy it starts at 18:00.
Every fourth hour(22:00 for istance)is the best spot, so people have 4 hours time span to notice it's back and get at least the first match on each node done.

Thanks.

    Yeah, I did Kiora's node shortly after maintenance ended, which means I'll have 5 minutes to finish a Kiora match before the event ends. My other planeswalker nodes won't refresh in time for a last play.

    It would've been more fair to wait until the even hour to bring the servers back online and reset everyone's event at that point.

    They should have waited a whole day, so everyone can react to it.

    The event was supposed to start at 7pm in my country. But instead the maintenance started and ended around 10:30pm, but there was no event. The event was reactivated again at 11pm, but I had to join it again. I was even gold when I joined the first time and got to Platinum before it started and when I had to join again I was put in Platinum, so I think it was reset, just started 4 hours later, which means we all lost 1 game.
    Is that not the case?

    Nope,

    My Koth's node refresh today at 5:53 pm, Liliana's one at 5:57 pm... (I'm in France and the event will stop at 6:00 pm)

    I'm currently fine tuning my decks for an even more faster win (no matter for secondary objectives in this case!). I think I could have a win with Koth but it seems hard with Liliana.
