I'm presuming you dont have an issue with the time zones, so its not a problem for you. Me having to do a clear, which would normally take at least half an hour, between the hours of 1am and 9am, is and has always been a huge inconvenience. That is why, in normal PVE's, I don't select a time slice that will require me to do any playing during those times. Well they didn't say weekly they said would be added into normal rotation, so that would be about 1 or 3x a month, not every week.

Was this split intentional? I.e. Cap for newer players, IM for older players? It’s based on the storyline, isn’t it? This is why Natasha Romanoff is now Team Cap (she used to be Team IM)

As someone from the UK, I have to find time to do a clear between 1am and 9am. On a work day, this is incredibly hard to do. I hope this means the event gets extended to four Days so the end comes at noon EST instead of midnight EST. That last Little four hour refresh happens to fall between 2AM and 6AM in my timezone, so I usually end up sleeping through it. This whole 8 hour thing has to change if this is to become a regular thing. I make exceptions for the Boss Events up to now, because they ran so rarely. If Boss Events start becoming a weekly thing, its totally unfair on anyone that happens to be outside of the US time zone. I'm certainly not going to be late to work on a morning just to get a clear in on a silly mobile game.

bluewolf said: In case there's a question, Boss events have their own boosted list (even though they are listed as "Weekly" here) and the weekly boost list shown in the Preview thread will apply to PVP events that run at the same time. I assume the term "Weekly" is used because it is something internal to the game that tells it which characters to boost for which event. This also suggests that different "Weekly" boost lists could be used for different PVEs during a week if the developers had a mind to do that, by just changing it from one to the next.

Other than possibly sleeping through the final short refresh, does the US actually get that much of an advantage?You say you're in the UK, so you'd be at UTC+0. The west coast of the US is at UTC-8, so they'd also have refreshes occurring at 1am and 9am local time. I get the same at UTC+8.I can understand not liking the 8 hour schedule (it was a pain when it applied to regular story events), but I think you overestimate the benefit of being in the US.
It's mainly that last refresh (1am - 5am GMT or 2am - 6am CET) where you have no chance of playing. If it was 8 hours like every other refresh, then you could do a bunch of clears in the last hours of it before 9am GMT or 10am CET.
4 of us in the UK and 2 in Europe are able to clear all nodes in every refresh, apart from that last one, so our alliance misses out on quite a bit of points.
