Shorter times

Amazing that the shorter times for the UK begin at 10:30pm and last 12 hours, on a week night. Great compensation for outage. *Rolls eyes*  
To spell it out...Nobody can really benefit from this.  We are all sleeping & working during this time.  Thanks so much GGBF.

    Was it compensation ? I thought it was just the normal WWC prize  doh!

    I can't remember how many times I've mentioned this (GGS obviously is not listening - what a shocker) about the start time for the shorter production reward.

    It should start the moment you log on AFTER the event has finished NOT when the event finishes.  If the event finishes in the wee hours of the morning or late at night those who are in that time zone will miss out on most if not all of the time reward.  What was the point in doing the event if not for receiving this great reward?

    I honestly can't see why the computer code for the start time can't be changed for this to happen.  Again the boat on the flower farm doesn't start its timer till you log on & give it what it wants.  It then goes on its merry way for 6 hours until it returns.  That works well so why can't the shorter times?

    The more people that talk about this, may get GGS to change the timer so that it benefits the players for once.

    I have my fingers, toes, arms, legs & eyes crossed for this.  Hope I don't get to stay all crossed for too long.

    I don't think that the timer starts when the event ends unless you are on at the end of the event. If you are not on, you don't actually get the timer reward until  you log on and then it starts running, at least this has been my experience...

    I would like to see the production timer actually go into the drop box to be started when you really want to begin using it...

    No, the shorter production times rewards have come and gone. I have missed the benefit of all from the wwc and goldfish events. Won 6h and the event ended 00.30 friday  night. Had to get up before 6 o´clock on friday morning for work. So a useless price.

    Sorry JVD but the timer does start the moment the event ends whether you are logged on or not.  This happens every time the event finishes while we in Oz are asleep.  By the time we have woken up & logged on there is little or no time left.  It is a useless prize for many in the Southern Hemisphere.

    I guess, I did not pay attention to the amount of time I actually got when I was not actually logged on when the event finished... my apologies.

    It was pretty useless here in the northern part of the world since my reward was all gone before I logged on

    Reminds me of those 'Loyalty' prizes they gave for bonus Rune stones 12 hours after the temp farm ended.

    No need to apologise JVD.  I know I can't take note of everything on my farm that might have changed from overnight.  Especially if prizes are awarded while we sleep.  It's just the frustration of losing out on the shorter time each time this is a prize for all the work you have done. I was just pointing out that I, amongst others on the AU1 server, miss out on the shorter time if we are unable to log on straight after the event has finished.  We must sleep sometime.  :)

    My apologies if I upset you as it was not my intention.
