EVENT End time PROBLEM

Kinesia

And for me, same problem, different reason.

I had just gotten in to work when the last charges came around and could NOT take any time at all to play them. I'd been playing on public transport right up to that point, but the charges were added almost _exactly_ at the time work started on Monday morning.

So even taking different timezones into account for sleep periods isn't enough, there are other things going on too.

Just a 12 hour buffer after the last charge would help _everyone_ relax more and have a better time, regardless of circumstance.

Mid Week event still continues to end right before work.  Either stay up past 2AM PST to play or get up before 6AM to finish all the node because we DO have to get ready for work.

Still no response on this @Brigby ?

Don't worry.... it'll fix itself in a couple weeks when the events end at an even worse time.... last refresh at 3am instead! Thanks Daylight Savings!

The quick fix for this would be for the last charge to be 8 hours like all the rest of them -- 10 would be even better to give everyone a cushion for the last charge -- especially since it's ALWAYS on a work day. It's ridiculous that it isn't -- games aren't fun when they interfere with real life. 

In the long term, having skewed entry times -- maybe 4 different ones would also make a huge difference. Doesn't Marvel do something like this?

After such a long time, its almost amazing to see nothing has already been done to fix this everlasting issue ... 
For the boss events, i think the situation is quite diferent. As the end of event depends on the players effort, its hard to foresee when the event will end. Besides, giving a lot of charges at the start might lead the event to end too quick for some players, because others have grinded very fast (for a better coalition ranking for example).

The main reason why D3 would never allow for fully charged nodes at start time is because they want to keep us coming back for more. Numbers attract investors. Ok, we get that, so let's focus on making the last charge 12 hrs - simplest and most logical solution.

I'm not a professional developer, but I've taken some programming tutorials online. If Oktagon is stuck, let me offer a helping hand. Here's how I would code it. Oktagon, please feel free to use it if you want.

function add_recharge_to_nodes()
    if (total_charges_so_far > 8)
        do nothing
    else
        total_charges_so_far  = total_charges_so_far  + 1
        charge_on_whitenode = charge_on_whitenode + 1
        charge_on_rednode = charge_on_rednode + 1
        charge_on_bluenode = charge_on_bluenode + 1
        charge_on_greennode = charge_on_greennode + 1

I hope this is helpful.

I really want to buy Vraska, but not spending another dime until they atleast acknowledge the issue.

I feel like if Marvel can pick and choose their event start and end times we should be able to as well. 

I know it's a different game, different devs, etc -- but it's obviously a programmable option for Match-3 games.

The Marvel thing is interesting (I play it) but overly complicated, the easiest thing to both implement and deal with _every_ problem is just add 12 hours to the end time of all events after the last recharge.
