Currently, when choosing an event starting time, we're given the ending time as "Ends Sun Sept 24th 10pm" but the starting time displays "Starts in 21hrs 13min".

Putting the Start format in the Ending format (so it reads "Starts Sep 18, Fri 9am") seems like it would be an easier way to tell users how to plan their game around real life, without needing to do time-math.

    The reasoning with showing the end-times is that anyone playing competitively needs to know what time they will have to do their 1-2 hour grinds at the end of each sub.

    I understand! If my post wasn't clear, I'm advocating changing the *starting* time format, not the *ending* time format, which is clear, great, and easy to schedule around.

    Using the same logic, I like to know when I need to devote a chunk of time to getting through the first 4 clears of every node.

    Every PVE sub is either 24 or 48 hours long - so the end time is the same as the start time, only a day earlier.
    Or 3 - 4 - 7 days earlier for the full PVE.
