-.-

Edit: I am watching them.. there is a hammer too but not the skins i mean…

Mace, axe and hammer didnt had any particle effects so i doubt its revenant bow. It would be awful if it was locked behind blc. Mist weapons are our thing after all.

The bow you are likely referring to is the Phoenix Longbow.

j/k j/k

I’m almost hoping there’s a delay. I’m not going to be able to finish all my projects by the time the rev is available.

In a way, knowing the release is coming is a good thing… I cannot procrastinate on homework or other life-things because I know full well I will not do them next weekend.

Trust me…. Ö.Ö

That timer says 9:01 am eastern, which would only be 6:01 pacific
Isn’t the launch at 12:01am pacific?
Thus eastern should be 3:01am?

9.01 am CEST is 12.01 am pst. 9h difference

CEST != EST
That timer appears to be set to expire 9:01 eastern US time, not 9:01 central european time.

No… -.- It is set to 9.01 am CEST! (Bottrop, Germany)

Time until Friday, October 23, 2015 at 9:01:00 AM ([redacted] time)

I’m guessing it simply takes an end time and counts down to it, using basic geolocation to assume your location, but doesn’t autoshift for time zone changes.

Thus why I see it as 9:01am here when it should be ending at 3:01 here.

….. the geolocation is MY location, including MY timezone… the timer ends when HoT will release (9.01 am CEST or 12.01 am PST and yes unexspected→ 3.01 am easy coast)

What’s the problem?

its showing 9 am regardless of time zone. Says 9 am here too…and I’m in the US. So obviously doesn’t work for everyone lol.

Jesus… A timer for a global event works for everyone! Doesn’t matter where you are… HoT will released at the same time. A timer is a timer…

I can set a timer für 3.01 am east coast if you want… but both timers show the same remaining time – believe it or not O.o

If this will be a timer for “9 hours to HoT Launch” it is right… But 12.01 am CEST != 12.01 am PST… Are you trolling or won’t understand?

That’s what we’re asking you.

I ask again. What’s the problem?

Ilharn.6813:

Your timer doesn’t shift for time zone. It is not global. You assumed it was.

So it shows a countdown to 9 am friday when I open your link. But the release is midnight friday for me.

When I made a countdown for my time (pacific) you opened it and saw it a countdown for midnight germany time which would be incorrect obviously but its correct for me……

I repeat, its a local countdown clock, not a global like you assumed (or maybe the website said, can’t trust something just because it says or implies.)

Ilharn.6813:

Just because they have a time zone chart does not make their count down global.

Seriously man, slow down for a second and realize how obtuse you are being. You are trying to argue more than one person’s perspective (that shared the same perception when clicking your link) is magically false. Good luck with that.

~~~surrenders~~~

Ilharn.6813:

~~~surrenders~~~

haha I am trying to see it from your perspective as much as possible as I don’t think you are being a troll just misunderstanding.

It doesn’t work, simple as that. It shows the viewers time zone without accounting for whatever time the creator has it set for, which will obviously make it wrong, i.e. not global.

In other words, depending where you open the link the total time of the count down changes depending on your time zone.

Ok… What time you have remaining on it?

I like how you just can’t believe me. lol

Yes, because i changed my pc’s timezone and the countdown doesn’t change o.O
That’s the reason i was pretty confused and felt trolled :>

Hey we all make mistakes. And I was trying to say earlier how I understand why a countdown timer would make one think it’d be global. Especially on a more international website like that. Or I would have thought you were trolling as well.

Ilharn.6813:

The website likely detects your location by your router information/ISP/blocks of geoIP. So changing your computer’s time zone wouldn’t do anything. edit apparently there is also some websites that can use javascript to detect settings from local machine. So it’d depend. Further Id’d depend on browser, such as chrome as a lot of java/papi/napi disabled.

I’m in Glasgow (UTC +1)

HoT is released at 12:01 (UTC -7)

So I’m 8 hours ahead so it’s released at 8am on 23rd for me. That’s 3 days and 14 hours like Ilharn said.

It’s 6pm for me right now. 6pm on 19th + 3 days = 22nd at 6pm. Add 14 hours gets me to 8 am on 23rd. Why do you think this is wrong?

No one has argued that it isn’t ~3days 14 hours till HoT. Actually about 3 days 13 now or about 85 hours.

The discussion was about when you open his link, if you aren’t near where he lives it ain’t gonna work properly.

Computer’s are too stupid.
