So I only had another 6 minutes left till my next Health Pack recharged, so I went to brush my teeth and came back 7 minutes later.

Now I've got 55 minutes left till that same Health Pack Recharges! I'm assuming it's because the servers are going back for Daylight Savings.

    One of my alliance members had a similar issue -- some characters in his roster went from injured to downed.

    There are safeguards in place to prevent people from modifying their time to earn more rewards/packs/healing. I think those got triggered for people who are in a different time zone than D3's servers when times were adjusted automatically on one side or the other.

    Yup, same here! Many alliance members had the same issue too!

    My XF/cmarv/hood were downed when they should have had full health! I was using them to climb in the PvP! Good thing I was done and not climbing any further!

    I too had this same issue, also my 8 shield that I set at at 12 midnight Pacific time expired at 5:59 am. 2 hours early costing me 156 points. It's not like daylight savings is a new phenomenon.

    Daylight savings is not a new problem, but it's the first time US players have "fallen back" since the game was very new. Now they have a whole year to work out a fix.

    Or to say, meh, this only happens once a year, so why bother fixing it? It also threw some of my alliance mates off for the end time of Fly, Fight, Win. I wasn't paying that close attention to it if it's times got thrown off as well or if it was just them though. I hadn't bothered starting it till around noon yesterday, long after this issue had manifested.
