Guild Wars 2

What was 8pm picked to role over daily events?
It should be at midnight (or early morning) based on server location and timezone. 8pm is right in the middle of prime playtime. If I could play all day instead of working/family etc, it wouldn’t much. Again I was rushing to complete and was on my last event as the clock chimed 8:00, lost the daily completion awards again.

Suggestion—change the time to a more appropriate one!

Your 8pm is someone else’s midnight.

Although, I do think they should standardize the reset to be midnight PST.

8pm currently is midnight GMT, until we turn our clocks back an hour then 7pm will be GMT. As GMT/UTC is the baseline for every other time zone reference in the world, and I’m sure GW2 wants to be a global game, it makes sense to have a globally referred to timezone be the basis for which they schedule daily events.

Besides, anything you do after 8pm counts for ‘tomorrow before 8pm’. If you could only play 7-9pm tonight, then tonight’s 8-9pm + tomorrow’s 7-8pm is still 2 hours.

I suggest leaving the time as it currently is since it makes more sense rather than changing it for the convenience of a few.

It’s 0:00 GMT, not some arbitrarily chosen time. For games with daily resets, this is usually the time chosen. I wouldn’t expect ANet to change it, especially since it’s fine right where it’s at. They’re not going to be able to accommodate everyone it’s an inconvenience for, unfortunately.

First game that I have ever had that had this time for reset. Midnight PST has always been the norm in my experience even for some Euro based games that I have played.
As for anything I do after 8:00 is good for the next day, good chance I won’t get through it and will be in the same boat as today. I’ll just write off dailys as a goal.
