    Strong yes for weekday boss events.
    My little boss nodes flip at convenient times around my work schedule.
    For regular PvE events, the regular start times don’t work for me so I usually try to catch a flip and they occur at random times during my workday.

    I don’t care either way. It takes less than 10 minutes to clear every 8 hours.  There is just nothing else to do which leaves me twiddling my thumbs during dinner.
    I wish there was some other PvE event running right now.
    A few lightning rounds and some PvP then shielding to hold placement is just boring.
    Thats why the question really is, would you rather have less to do on weekends or during the week?

    I'm far more likely to miss clears on the weekend than on weekdays.

    I want more to do during boss events. Simple as

    I have been pretty vocal that I am not a fan of downtime during boss events. Many people like the "time off" I don't. I really enjoy grind type games, and when the game forces me to not grind I do not enjoy it.

    Especially in this instance when we're supposed to have double Iso, not having regular pve for 3 days sucks.

    no
    I definitely prefer the weekend boss events, I struggle to find the time at work to do my clears. But I am glad this isn't being run alongside a full PVE. One thing I would like changed is that the last time slice is only 4 hours instead of 8. I've never understood why. For my timezone that is between 1am and 5am so if my alliance is still short of points I have to get up in the middle of the night if I want to do my bit...

    Would probably change my vote to no now as definitely had an effect on my alliance not playing at the usual time

    Same thing happened with Battle at the Basilica - could be co-incidence of course. Finishing my 5pm flip and seeing the points total I thought we were going to make it but it seems that didn't translate to the Alliance having time to play during work hours in the USA. :(

    I originally said "yes" and normally would be fine but a busy couple of days in the office with no WiFi and terrible signal meant I missed the 9am - 5pm UK-time slot twice. 

    Whilst it was a bit annoying and I could have had a few more rewards from Demastered, it would have made little difference overall and I'm still OK with it being either.

    If it's a 50/50 view from players, then my reading of the room is to alternate and run a concurrent PvE event. I'm sure the data analytics teams will tell us what the right answer is based on engagement with the event and historical boss/PvE metrics.

    I’m off Sunday/Monday so either way work is an interference. I voted yes, but I suppose if I different was an option I would have taken it.
