I am so close. Why not keep it open until 12pm EST? That would be 9 pm PST. I do not understand. I feel very cheated. Why are we not allowed the full time that we deserve?

I do not understand how giving the entire 24 hour period of ANYONE’s January 25th is an issue. It does not matter where you are located, if it is the 25th, we get the entire 24 hours.

So their system needs to tailor to your needs and use your location to determine whether you can still participate in leagues instead of them rolling out a patch once for all time zone’s they would have to release it for every time zone meaning it would be more of a strain on the server and have to determine whether players have or havnt updated yet plz get half a brain

Bad luck, but there will always be a cutoff that messes up someone. The league does last for 2 months though – best go for it earlier next time.

I’ll play the devil’s advocate and say that I frankly understand his confusion. The infographics said “Season ends January 26th”, which many, myself included, thought woud mean “the usual patch time”, or, at least indeed ON “January 26th” (which could actually be interpreted as both “ending midnight 25-26th” or even “ends 26th, 23:59”

Due to timezones, adding a countdown timer on the last 24 hours would have been very helpful and may prevent further confusion next season.

The graphic for me said the 25th, and I assumed it meant on “reset” on the 25th….which is exactly what happened.

Big Patch is on the 26th, but the leagues ending text in the leagues window said the 25th for me.

This situation was inevitable and ANet should have planned for it.

Tbh I’m not surprised of ANet’s lack of foresight.

A counter down timer would have prevented frustration for many people. This coming from someone who already hit legendary.

You’re right let me go get a comp sci degree and learn about the client server model so I can better understand next time. It’s not “tailoring” the text read “The season ends on the 25th” and the 25th is not over yet. Simple. Also, I doubt what you say and what the developer’s reality of the situation are the same. Their servers may not have a problem with it I do not think you have the expertise to comment on the matter.

It’s more of an example of what happens when a company promises something and then does not fulfill said promise. 25th is not over. Why is the season over. I would have asked this if I were legend.

There will be a one hour grace period after 4pm to allow any in-progress matches to complete and then the season will officially end.

Sorry that timezones aren’t something you normally consider when playing an mmo that spans across multiple countries. I guess it’s illogical to think that it’s common knowledge. Just like it’s illogical to complain about something like it’ll change a kitten thing. Also people would probably treat you better if it didn’t sound like you were having a temper tantrum.

Or you know… Calculate the time for all timezones to reach the 26th and pick the latest time out of all those times. Or just have a countdown timer…

Kinda with OP here. At the very least having it end on the 26th PST as is standard would be better (IE five more hours).

Also both of you should stop flaunting your degrees. I mean OP did it since you did it first. But really it’s kinda silly. If you see something as impossible because of a previous body of knowledge state what that impossible thing is before you go “dude I have a degree I KNOW I’m right.”

You miss the point.
The point is that it’s impractical to have the season end time go by timezone.

Ignoring the technical hurdles of having the queue checking timezones, it’s just bad implementation.

Think of it this way if you’re on the last timezone to shut down, are you really going to get any matches in that last hour? No you’re not because with all the other timezones shutdown the queue population is going to be too low.

Then you also need to consider the PR ramifications of trying to placate all the people in the early shutdown timezones that are kittened that they can’t do ranked while others can. Just imagine the backlash from that.

Sanity is for the weak minded.
