Guild Wars 2

Ive an idea and I’m wondering if Anet can deliver on the demand.

I’m looking into getting the best time for my guild to do the guild missions, but the problem is everyone has different times; either GMT/+ 1/+ 2/+ 3/+ 4 and so forth and we need to calculate when everyone’s time is for say 20:00 GMT+ 3 is.

So my idea is that we can have the server time as well as our local time option.

As well as another idea that I just thought of, an in-game calender to show all our personal events in-game and shared events from our guild and or friends and we can even mix it with our rl events so we can stay organized, because what happens if you forgot about your friend’s birthday on the 20th and you say yes that you can go to that WvW raid, do you kitten of your friend or your guild for not being their to support them?

Also I believe some, but mostly the Role Players would love an in-game journal so they can write notes about what is happening or imagen if you have an idea for an strategy in PvP or WvW, but you cant really explain it, then why not just draw it and “give” your teammates the drawing?

Multi-clocks & Calenders & Notebook/Journal

With regard to the calendar, Guilds often use the “Message of the Day” to write out a calendar of upcoming events, particularly those Guilds focused in Events and such. So that feature is sort of already in place, just depending on whether the leader uses the MotD to write out a calendar.

The in-game journal idea sounds nice, but how would you prohibit trolls from using it to frustrate other players? Perhaps you can only send the drawing to those whom have each other on their friends list? Or in a party/guild only? Some suggestive solutions.

With regard to the time suggestion; I am not sure on this, but I think the server time is a universal time that is always the same for everyone (again, I might be wrong on this), in which Guilds can then choose a server time to display upcoming events with. If I am wrong and it doesn’t work like this, then I agree there should be some form of universal time we can display in-game that is the same for all players.

Sorry, I described the time part a bit wrong there: As you know, we get a server/ local time toggle option and one for your computer’s time, but what would be nice if we had an option to show them both at the same time. Actually now that I think about it, the clock idea isn’t really that necessary, we’ll probably figure out when is the best time for guild missions in one way or another.

I never could understand the problem with using a set time zone. Whether that means GMT or just where the company is. Not counting daylight savings it is not like the number of hours to add and subtract changes from day to day.

For example, reset for me is my local 8 pm and will not change until the clocks do later in the year. If I want local time I just glance at the digital clock most computers have somewhere.

I personally don’t see why a guild doesn’t set their event time references according to either reset time or server time and let the people figure it out from there. Telling me that a guild event will be 2 hours after reset is a lot easier to figure out than saying something like GM+3 or GM-7, which means I need to google what that is in relation to my time. I know when reset is my time and adding 2 hours to that is trivial.
