I understand of Anet point of view, that they can’t give an exact time, since they don’t want to get everyone’s hopes up if they aren’t sure they can live up to it.
But they also know that their game is played over the entire world, so if they say that the event starts the 14th, they should make the content live on the 14th for the whole world. they basicly gave false hope for half the (GW2 playing)world by announcing the start of the event on the 14th.
Unfortunately, I have work tomorrow, and I know the event stays untill the 3th of january,but I was still excited to start the event today.
I hope they will think twice for the next event and state the “pasific time” from the start, and not start using the term by the time the 14th (in this case) starts to end in europe, so the rest of the world won’t be getting their hopes up.
Just my 2 cents, good luck ya’ll!!!!
