Just a reminder - the servers have never taken Daylight Savings Time (United States) into account.

So your LR's will (likely) start an hour earlier than you expect today: probably in 2.5 hrs, not in the 3.5 hours you expect. It is currently 10:30 EST (last week this was 11:30 EST) and they started 1:00pm EST - they'll still start 1:00pm EST on last week's time, which means they'll (likely) start 12:00noon EST.

If they landed on odd hours, they'll now be even. If they landed on even hours, they'll now be odd.

[You need that ISO, go and get it!]

    was just about to post this. good call. I figured they'd start in 1.5 hrs instead of 2.5. from now, if I have it right.

    Yep, you're right - now about 45 mins and they should start

    And...nothing.

    Huh, did they finally fix this after two years?

    Guess not!

    I think what happened is that when dst happened they had the events hard coded to the traditional times.

    Thats why the PVE and PVP events both started an hour later after DST

    I wish they had been clarified on Saturday when people where experiencing DST issues

    Right? The year I've finally grown accustomed to them NOT fixing their schedule they go and fix it?

    My lunch hour is sad.

    yeah. I actually preferred the winter schedule (odd hrs for me) over the summer. odd hrs let me catch the 11pm and then the 5am if I wanted, only missing the 1 and 3 over night (if I so chose). not staying up for the midnight one, so automatically miss 3 per night. anyway.....whatever. life goes on. if only **** like this was communicated. like, if they had someone to communicate incoming changes.....

    Completely agree. I was hoping for a change back to odd hours. Alas.
