Start times

I got home from work to find the CHWE had started and been running for several hours and I had to start playing catch up.  Nothing new there - it happens every time.  I know there re plenty of others in the same situation, or where the start time is when players are in bed due to location (such as Australia).

To make things fairer to all, why cant the start times move forward each time the event is run, so for example, if it starts at 9.00 CET this time, make it 10 CET next time, 11 CET the time after.  If there are 2 CHWE a month, as in this month, that would be 24 over the year and being as there are 24 hours in each day it would start at a different hour each time.  

It'd also work for the end of the event, meaning any 1/2 speed bonuses would be fairer as well.

    @AmazingMurphy (GB1),  Yes we have said this for years, it was suggested again before Christmas, but we are just ignored.  We have asked for it to start as per server clock and also asked if that is not possible, please rotate to give everyone a fair go.  Now been 6 months since last brought up and still no change.

    If I remember correctly I play 2 or more then 2 years of mostly every event (starting time) is 3 am
    We didn't shout as u guys doing nor we give any suggestion 
    Its a game enjoy it if u want to win do hard work play in between ur work sleep or what ever u need to win
    Though its a suggestion that this time changing piece is not as easy as u guys describe but its not to hurt to ask the devs 
    Enjoy 
  • We did raise this issue again with the CMs  when we asked them to check the start times for all the HW events in June & found they are still not being varied, so they are going to talk to the scheduler about it again. One problem that we did foresee, is that as we are no longer allowed to post the start times of events, if they are varied, that could cause even more complaints, as no one is going to know when to expect them. 

    I do like your suggestion @AmazingMurphy (GB1) though maybe not just increments of 1 hour, as it would be pretty depressing once it reached midnight in your timezone, to know the next 8 are going to be at inconvenient times, but maybe if it changed by 3 hours each time it would be workable,  - We will pass it on to the CMs.

    In increments of 5 you would get more similar results to what Murphy was suggesting (you would visit the 24 hours) since 5 and 24 are coprime numbers.
