    Weird, I live in Central time zone and have felt, for at least the past year or so, that weekend events line up relatively well for me. I thought we'd been on a North American-centric schedule recently. Is that not the case? (real question, not snark. I assumed that players in Europe and Asia have been getting screwed, but never thought to actually take a look at when events end in other time zones).
    I am PDT (PST) so my last nodes typically refresh at midnight and expire at 7 or 8 am. In the morning I get up at 5:30 orr6am, and get ready an at work for 7:30am.

    So to get my last nodes in means I have to set my alarm at least an hour earlier to complete and not be late for work.

    I dont know... it just doesnt seem to work for me. But I am one of thousands.

    What I was getting at was two fold:

    1) It was just nice for a change
    2) No matter what they do, it will not fit everyones schedules with the current event refresh format.

    I guess my point was, in my opinion, I like having expirable nodes, but make the last refresh nodes run longer. make the last refresh 12 hours. Drag the event end time out a bit. Anyone in Euro completing their nodes can just sit back and wait for results and coalition rewards. Not a big deal.

    I agree, this is a fine answer to the problem. I don't know of a single reason why this hasn't already been implemented. Only thing I can think of is that D3 feels players will want their rewards right away. To that I say, run more PVE events, have the starts overlap the finishes of the big coalition events just slightly. Players who finish and have 12 hours (or let's get crazy, 24!) to wait can start playing another event. Players who still need to finish can do so, and then start on the new event.
