    Weekday boss events are my least favorite. ( lets be honest though, I'm not a particular fan of boss events to begin with)

    Really screws with me. Normally I miss one 9am refresh on Friday. I am looking at potentially 3 missed refreshes on this one unless I can figure something out. That is a lot of points.

    TBD for me.  Can't recall a boss event during the week the entire time I've been playing.  I have always been curious how lightning rounds would coincide with a boss event being so much dead time between resets.  So I guess I'm getting my wish in that regard.

    I'm pretty sure first run of Battle at the Basilica was Mon - Thurs but that was something to do with US holidays I think. It then went usual when run again.

    I don't care.
    Don't you guys have phones where you can do clears on your lunch breaks?

    Nope, play exclusively on my tablet and I don't get a lunch break normally. I appreciate I am probably in minority but if it ain't broken...

    Option 3: meh, whatever 

    Neither yes/no as it pertains to me, but BCS should keep the standard schedule because of how it coincides/conflicts with players' standard working hours.

    Not everybody plays on a phone. I play on steam on a pc.
    I actually don't mind it. Might actually be better for me as my weekends are usually more tied up.

    I don't mind.
    Now the real question is why all people don't play on a phone.

    Less likely to make the wrong move on a bigger screen.

    I don't really use a phone apart from contact with my family and reading the odd thing on the web. I have an old iPhone which has a limited data contract and I have never bothered to upgrade because I don't really use it. I tend to be online during work hours on a PC and busy so I don't have time to play games and my commute isn't long enough to play MPQ. I also much prefer playing on a large tablet screen than a tiny phone screen - I am getting old, lol! But as I said I appreciate I am not your average MPQer (or phone owner!)

    Nah, the real question is: why would I stop playing games on my PC like I've done for nearly 40 years now? Not the same computer obs, as I don't think my C64 could run MPQ ;)
    I can see the advantage of playing on a small device, but I like playing on a big screen, with a fun stream or podcast in the background.

    I'm not any youngster either. I always buy the cheaper phone with the bigger screen. And sometimes I play on tablet, too.
    But time requirements and the easyness of the phone, even the private access, is what makes me a phone-zombie many hours per day.

    yes
    I voted yes , but I’m for hidden option 3 I don’t really mind either way as I do a rotating 3 days , 3 nights 3 off so I can do most rotations at home or work

    Boss battles usually mean less play, and I would prefer to miss work, than family time

    yes
    I put yes, but it really doesnt matter to me either way, as I'm able to hit each rotation, regardless of what day of the week it's on.

    Similar to others.  Somewhat indifferent, have flexibility at the office to do what's needed for boss events. 

    'Weekend' ones i start Thursday at 10am, so i play Thu & Fri anyway.   Then usually no play Sat/Sun once we're done.
