Guild Wars 2

Instead of stopping the guests from getting chests or the people who zone in late in the overflow from getting a chest from jormag, shadow, fire or whoever, link the start time for all DE and meta events with the actual map. Regardless of when the overflow event finishes or if it fails even it will restart again at the same time the actual map version starts.

Overflow is a true overflow. All servers have a chance of going into that overflow (with the exception of NA staying NA and EU staying EU). You can’t link the overflow to the home server because then all home servers would have to be on the same time schedule, which would be impossible

A dev pointed out in a previous post that overflow is a shared resource between all servers for that region so that cannot work unfortunately.

Edit: Ethics beat me to it.

Like they already said, it cannot be done because every single server has different times, so what time would be the “real” time for these events then?
