    Are there the same number of refreshes still with the longer window, or did we lose one? My casual alliance typically needs all of them to hit full personal even, so just curious if that’s still possible if the times shift like this. Definitely better for most this way I’m sure.

    We lost a ton of refreshes.
    6 refreshes now, used to be 10.

    As for the 12hr reset, again the EST is screwed. Event opens at Noon, but I cannot do the next set until Midnight. 10hrs would had been more reasonable.

    I'm not sure I understand this. You have between midnight and noon to do the next set so that's a big window to complete it. Are you saying you always want to be able to play as soon as the reset happens? In the UK the 8-hour reset happens at 1am so I just make sure I fit in some time to play before 9am, it doesn't really seem an issue as long as you have some opportunity to play within each window.

    8hr Reset:

    • Event starts at 12pm EST. Complete nodes
    • Event resets at 8pm EST. Complete nodes. Go to bed.
    • Event resets at 4am EST. Complete nodes when I wake up around 5-6am. No real loss in pts
    • Event resets at 12pm and so on

    12hr Reset:

    • Event starts at 12pm EST. Complete nodes
    • Event resets at 12am EST. Complete nodes. Go to bed at 1230-1am if I can stay awake or do it when I wake up at 5-6am but I'll lose lost alot of points
    • Event resets at 12pm and so on

    Sure it's less grind, but it doesn't help my sleeping. 10hrs would have worked better.

    We'll see how it goes, but it affects the EST players players. The EST players have been requesting better timeslots for us, but it's ignored and now we have this to deal with.

    10 hours is a terrible idea, this would shift the refresh every day.
    It needs to be a number you can devide 24 hours by.

    Yeesh. Points get adjusted accordingly I wonder?

    Something Went Awry - Something went wrong when you tried to join this event. Sorry about that. We've been notified and we're looking into it. Please try again in a bit.

    I was finally able to join. In fact it took me right to the boss fight screen without having to go through the join screen again.

    The Heroic (Progression) awards are remarkably lame, but perhaps my alliance will do well enough to get a few good support tokens.

    The costume's neat, and remember last time we had a secondary boss fight there were NO progression rewards. So some cp/HP and rando boosts are all a bonus.

    These progression rewards of boosts and healthpacks are there to help us throughout the event.

    Normally I'd be annoyed with Boosts, but the increases max helps.

    I'm just happy to finally see sine good Support Rewards. They were very generous to give Advanced Support tokens for 251-750 alliances. Those are tough to get.

    I appreciate the extended refreshing hours it really adds QoL.
    I find this boss event interesting and enemies are continuosly changing (it appeared SW but without her cd lol).
    However, next refresh will be pretty hard because GotG by themselves, aren't specially good, more like being specially meh.
