Stopping in for an occasional head bobbling or "I see" "oh please tell me more" or "how does that make you feel" would be great, some therapist mind tricks would at least give a little comfort.

Another assumption is that this was necessary because they wanted the Halloween event to be on Halloween. A further assumption is that they didn't communicate any of this to us because they aren't in the habit of communicating useful information that people would actually want to know.

It didn't start 2 hours earlier than expected it started 2 hours earlier than usual. The in-game count-down said what the start time would be for 24 hours beforehand and then it started exactly at the time it said it would start. Now don't get me wrong, I completely agree that if they're going to change something which has been the same every time so far they should announce it. I just want to transfer this complaint from "something changed" to "something changed unannounced". Because I've been asking for events to have different start times occasionally for a long time and they finally did it and it was great and I'm very pleased about it. What I think they should do is start at different times so often that people don't just assume it will always be a particular time in the first place. I'm sure they didn't really do it for me but I'm happy anyway. Oh and what might also help is if it said e.g. "1 day 16 hours" instead of just "1 day", because then there'd be more than 24 hours notice of the actual start time. I can also say that one of my friends was confused by the rounding on this the first time during the event itself, he actually got up at 2am to play what he thought was the last round of games (because it had said it would end in 1 day almost a whole day ago) only to discover there was another entire day to go. There really genuinely is enough room on the screen to fit more than just the text "1 day".
