Potential Change to Reset Time
Hey guys…
…we have a couple questions first…
Tyler Bearce, I want to sincerely thank you and the WvW staff for considering to change the reset time back to Friday’s. Although it’s not the most critical issue that’s been plaguing WvW since HoT’s release, it has been important to many of us, especially our SEA and OCX folks.
But what I really want to emphasize here is why this communication from you is even more important than what the communication is about.
1) Someone from the Anet Staff came to the WvW Forums and posted… anything! You didn’t do it on Reddit! You did it here on your own Official Guild Wars 2 Forums Bravo!!! )
2) BEFORE implementing a change to WvW, you came to your WvW forums and Asked the WvW Community in the WvW Forum their opinion on the possible change! (Quite frankly, I’m shocked. Happily so, I might add. )
It’s this kind of approach – coming to the Official GW2 WvW forums and asking the WvW community their opinion on something – that’s been so desperately requested by the WvW community for a very long time. And I love how you did it… the verbiage, “Hey guys…” and “we have a couple of questions first...” This approach makes me feel like a welcomed and valuable family member or friend being asked his/her opinion regarding something important to us all. This is a VERY BIG STEP in the RIGHT Direction for the new WvW leadership at Anet!
Please keep up this kind of approach in the future days and changes to come to WvW. The WvW Community really, really desires to be “part of the process” that helps evolve this incredible game mode into what it can become!
I salute you, sir! o7
(as we WvW’ers do in game )
Thank you!
PS: I like Friday reset at its old time, which I believe was 8PM EST/5PM PST (9PM/6PM would be my second choice.) Thanks again!

vote back to Friday
Friday night reset used to be one of the most fun nights in WvW. +1 to bring it back.
I’m here for the Friday, and hai rikkity
Friday night 8-9 pm EST would be great! 10 pm is a bit late for me, personally.
Yes!!! Definitely change it back to Friday. Saturday resets are horrible.
I would keep the previous reset time, so basically an hour earlier than what you have listed in the post.
Yay for fridays
I’m cool with whatever majority votes for on this issue. More for friday myself though.
Good point was that I could play in satuday day/morning off work, while if reset on saturday there are much less action because it’s not as valuable as if the reset just happened 1 day ago.
Friday, absolutely no question about it, around 2:00 AM UTC (9 pm EST).

There are a great many of us that work the standard Monday through Friday; When resetting on Saturday it seems I have to wait half way through my weekend before I dare invest any siege. (kinda pointless just before a reset)
As a typical working man that ‘Starts’ his play time on Saturday, I prefer a clean slate to set my home world off on as good a start as I can provide.
Don’t care what time,.. but Friday reset rules!!!!
Yes Friday this is a no brainer.

I vote for Friday 18:00 UTC – EU
Change it back to Friday. The reset happening in the middle of the weekend makes no sense.
My vote goes to friday
My vote is also Friday.
Yes, Definitely WvW on Friday Nights is much better.
Friday was much better
Friday would be best.

Friday would be great – we need to restore it to how it was, or close to that.
Friday. Freaking Friday.

Personally I prefer the Saturday reset times. As an EU player on an NA server, Saturday times work out better for me.
YES! to Friday @ 9 ET / 8 CT / 7 MT / 6 PT
:D
Scampers off, singing…
It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the reset, reset
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the reset

Another vote for Friday, 8PM or 9PM EST would be ideal
Friday please. I would prefer the old time but i understand that might not work as well for those on the west coast for NA so i’d be ok with the later time you posted(this is coming from someone in central standard time zone).
Oh baby friday!!
I definitely support Friday night resets. Back when I played WvW actively reset night was always my favorite, just spending a few hours running around with my guild killing things.
In any event, I think the 6pm pst/9pst reset time works well for NA. I can’t comment on EU. I feel like 7pm pdt is too late for the the east coast, as that would mean reset being at 10pm.
Also would it be possible to base the reset time on pacific rather than UDT? that way it wouldn’t be changed by daylight savings time in the US. Under the previous system reset would be an hour earlier in the winter than in the summer, which makes it hard for some people to make it on time half the year.

Please return reset to Friday!

Absolutely change it back to Friday.
I vote for Friday.
18:00GMT is fine for a Friday, clocks go forward later this month anyway.
Plays completely opposite professions to his main Teef.
Change it back to Friday.
Yes 100% change it back to friday
5-6PM PST over 7PM PST would be ideal but anytime is good that enables it to get switched back to friday
I don’t mind Reset on saturday but that’s because I have no real schedule for firdays/saturdays however a lot of my guild mates are better off when reset is on friday.
so +1 for friday
Our tentative plans are:
- NA resets on 6PM/7PM PST/PDT Fri (2:00 UTC Sat)
- EU resets on 10AM/11AM PST/PDT Fri (18:00 UTC Fri.)
2) Do the above times seem reasonable to you guys? If not, what time do you propose that you believe would please a greater percentage of the community, while still not overlapping with our hotfix window?
*Edit: Corrected the listed hotfix time to 4:30PM PST/PDT, rather than 4:30PM/5:30PM PST/PDT. Thanks Veron.
Yes, I like the idea of bringing this back to 6PM Pacific on Fridays for reset. It was great because, if you had the night off, it was super busy in WvW and a great time to play (assuming you made it through queues haha). More importantly, it made the whole weekend a fresh start and a great time to really duke it out before the weekly rankings set into places later in the week.
Had a discussion with a friend yesterday evening and one of the things that we spoke about was this issue. Neither of us liked the Saturday evening resets! I would really like the reset to be changed back to Friday evening, somewhere before prime time EU. So basically the way it was before.
And thank you for finally listening to the community.
another vote for Friday here.
~o hai there :D~ LONG LIVE ET
YES PLEASE!!! Maybe I’ll see enough people for Havoc Teams again, and also, not have to decide between movie and card games night with the family or helping my server!
Hail Kaineng!

Yes, move it back to Friday!
