Can we keep the hour change?

TheDobot

Didn't the time of nodes ending change with day light savings time in the past?

Personally, I didn't mind at all seeing the hour roll back.  Anyone else feel this way?

Negative.

I play pve in slice 5 since that's when I can usually do it with the fewest interruptions. Getting to bed an hour early for a few days was nice and I would support this, but for each person that the earlier time is better for will be another person who the one hour later time is better.

I'm EST.. I loved the subs ending and starting at 10pm instead of 11pm. I work 8-6 so no time slices work for me and I like to sleep

I liked it better rolled back as well.

Just to note my work schedule killed me and would permanently kill me with the earlier hour. It would hurt just as many as it would help.

Once, 6-12 months ago, there was a survey that asked about preferred end times.  I wondered if some changes might be in store. Keep the dream alive!

I would prefer adding another slice to shifting slices back an hour, though.  I can’t do slice 1 an hour earlier.

I suspect that they can’t add more slices without over-fragmenting the competitive players.

It seems like the Lightning Rounds are still an hour behind??

Keep the times exactly as they were.  Last node ends at 2am for PVE and 3 am for PVP.

Better yet, let's get away from time slices all together.  

For PvE this shouldn't be that hard.  Everyone get's a 24 hour window to join.  Their join time ends up being their 'slice time'.  They are grouped with 1000 other randos (ideally with some smart mixing to ensure people who try to snipe are grouped with 900+ people that played correctly) and speed and points determine winner (like they do today).

For PvP same deal, the hard part about PvP is knowing where you stand in placement and how far to grind is far more important there.  Though the same concept could probably apply just without the smart matching and still allowiing sniping.

Get used to it. Lightning rounds don't observe DST for some reason, so for me they start at even hours in the Winter and odd hours in the summer...

Hi Everyone. I spoke with the team today, and future runs of Lightning Rounds will be starting at the normal time of 1pm EST (11/28)
