Guild Wars 2

wouldn’t it be better to have 2 seperate wvw reset times since the 2 sides NA and EU never will match eachother , i mean its kinda annoying for the EU players to wait the night time to play wvw at reset..

Aye, Im all for this. Or at least take into account the daylight savings time. The best time we have as a guild is the reset, where we go into wvw for a couple (some for considerably more) hours at reset. Now with the reset being at 1am, it’s something a lot don’t want to do because… Well, a lot are European, thus start later anyway in their time zones, and the majority who only log on for an hour or two now have no incentive to play the reset. As mentioned above, many find this the most fun of the wvw rotation.

Agreed. 1 am is far too late to have a reset, a lot of our Guild try and stay on for reset, however 1am, 2am , 3am depending on timezone is a little ridiculous.

/agreed
after the summer time change the reset is now 2:15 am in Germany. that time is ridiculious.

yea it is an american company , but they have also a large scale of european players where they should where they should also be busy with like , okay EU and NA are 2 seperate parts of servers they never match against in wvw so why not have a EU friendly wvw reset for the EU players and keep the original reset time only for NA

I feel they will probably do this at some point if its technically feasible(it may not be) but then if it was they would have done so already, considering a large portion of gw2 players are from Europe.

nobody asked for this before as far as i know :-)

The reset was 02:00 AM for me and the new rotation started 02:30 – 02:35 AM i think the reset should be 08:00 GMT for us atleast

/agree , i agree on that with the daylight savings in EU its getting far too late for us.

I second this. Kind of surprised the reset times are not separate already.

I agree with time change, EU its too late, 2:15 its a joke

Totally agree, please change this. I can’t see any reason why it should be so late, and Anet would gain a lot of happy customers by moving it forward.

it should be 8 GMT, so everybody can take part, i play on +4 GMT and its almost morning here during the reset, so i dont really bother with the reset, but when i get up and come, most of my server would have played all night and are ready to go sleep, leaving hardly any of us there.

Many, many times in fact. We’ve been ignored every single time.

never give up , look at the t8 topic’s they kept coming and in a matter of time they had to answer :-)

The new guys seems chattier than the old one, so maybe this’ll get an answer at last.

Bring in the cookies!

I hope so.

Yea this would be such a nice change, i cant see as it would be too difficult to implement as well. I also agree that 20:00 GMT would be the best time. If this isnt being considered it would be nice to know why not.
Reset is the biggest WvW night of the week, having it earlier could only make it better as more people would attend!
Come on Devon you know you want to answer us

i want an answer on this one aswell ^^

EU server: 19:30 GMT Prime time.

Set it to that, thanks Anet!

I started a post today on the suggestions page… add your support there and it may get seen by the right people…

Yeah 2:15 am is far to late

Was looking for this topic, and this will be my first post. I live in Sweden, reset for me is 2 in the night, and this is by far to late and i find it very unfair that Europe need to work with this schedule on such important topic, all whilst US getting all the favors when it comes to the time when reset is made.

There should be a easy fix, Arena should be more open for a solution to this topic, and it should be just as important for EU as Arena find it to be for US.

Work with us EU players please.

i think exactly the same.

I’ll vote for this too. Would be cool if the reset was between 5-8 pm CET.

DevonCarver.5370:

I talked to our server guys and we just don’t have the ability to reset these at different times. .

That may be true on some level, but I’ll bet not a purely technical one.

so what about doing the reset 1-2 hours earlier for everybody?

DevonCarver.5370:

I talked to our server guys and we just don’t have the ability to reset these at different times. As much as that is an unsatisfying answer for you in the EU, it is reality.

Good answer Devon. There shouldn’t be separate reset timers anyway much less separate NA and EU servers.

The only good reason why there are separate NA and EU servers is for latency issues. We don’t need to separate any other things and create more unnecessary work.

Having separate NA and EU servers is already a problem when grouping for dungeons. Ideally, we should have simple global servers if the latency issues could be eliminated.

No need to cater to the special interests of these EU guilds that don’t bother staying up for reset. There are plenty of EU server guilds that DO participate at reset and they should not have their times switched because of a few lazy guilds.

The current reset time is fine. Thank you.

It’s probably true on the coding level, meaning it may be so deeply engraved in the system that it’s either near impossible to change, or changing it would cause so many problems across the board that it’d be better to not do it. At least that’s my thought on it as a programmer.

You mean you think the resest time might be hard coded into the system software? OK . . . . . . . . . . . . . but truthfully, as a programmer would you ever do such a thing in the first place?

4/10. Not as obvious as others.

Isaac.6041:

And that’s a kitten weak reason as it is. Australasia deals with latency just fine, EU could have also. If we had world servers we’d all have much better coverages and balance in wvw.

Then how about changing the time of the global reset? Make it a few hours earlier or a bit later.

If it’s easier…yes. When you’re on a schedule, you tend to do whatever you can to make the coding go faster. Is this a shoddy job? Yes, but sometimes you have to in order to meet deadlines for projects.

He never said, changing reset time was impossible. He only stated, it was impossible to use seperate reset times for EU and NA… Which may simply be an issue with the way, the servers are set up.

Actually, all WvW servers are already located in NA.

(this is why they can’t reset them at different times)

The popups are simply lying there. If you do a trace to the IP it ends up in Frankfurt Germany, same place as the other EU servers.

You do know that GW2 runs on totally different servers for EU and NA, right?? The two server groups don’t talk to each other at all … ANet has said they are totally independent.

Gab Superstar.4059:

I don’t believe that’s true.

Its weird that a company like Anet has this way of ignoring there are other timezones besides NA. Having to stay up untill 2:15-2:30AM for a WvW reset is a complete joke imo.

Terrahero.9358:

No. That would inconvenience me.

The jokes on you for choosing to stay up that late to play a game

The network engineers are probably in NA, and they reset the servers in Frankfurt remote.

Because we have no choice? Pretty stupid remark really.

So what about resseting both 2h earlier? This will be another content that players will be playing. Because the Reset of WvW is always an essential part for WvWers. People doesnt sleep or sleep beforehand and prepare for it. But it is 3am with my time and there is no possiblity that i can stay up that time.

Resetting both 2h earlier will be during work hours for a lot of US people I think?
Basically somebody always loses >_<

Or just after work or something…

So, they are totally independent, but yet it is still impossible to reset them at different times? Seems legit.
