Suggestion: Shutting down server in the middle of a mission

When anyone is doing a mission and you need to shut down the servers is it possible to stop the countdown on the missions so that we the players don't miss out on finishing the mission?

The server has just shut down and I'm in the middle of a mission as I'm sure thousands of other players are also.

By the time the servers are back up again the timer is usually close to finishing if not finished.

That is just not cricket. Be fair and stop the timers so that we can continue from where we left off.

Thanks.

    Don't know whether that is possible what you suggest. Am afraid that this would slow down the game even more. :S There are many many missions going on during the Coop Challenge, all with different countdowns.

    We in our coop just stopped playing missions an hour ago thanks to the early warning in the official announcement. ^^

    It's alright for some who get an hours notification that the server is going to shutdown.

    I just got a 1 minute notice that it was shutting down. I had 21 minutes & 40 seconds to go but I guess that by the time the servers are back up it will have finished.

    The official announcement is fine for those who are in the same time zone. I'm in Australia and I've no idea what that would be in my time.

    Maybe in their notices they could also put in the times for the different time zones for the shutdown. Would be very helpful.

    My first message is time stamped 13.36pm. My current time is 10.30pm Wednesday 1st April. So it's not good saying that at a certain time a shutdown will occur at such and such a time because it will be different for others.

    It just came back up and low and behold I had 40 seconds left. Not fair.

    Here`s what I do for places I use regularly that are on diff time to me Ozzie, dunno if it will help you or not, but if you click your computer clock & go to edit, then the tab for additional clocks, you can set up a clock for CET (which is GMT +1) and call it Big Farm clock, then when they announce stuff you can look on that clock to see when it is.

    I can't get an additional clock on my computer. I have the digital time in the bottom right corner. I can get to the change time screen but no edit tab.

    Thanks anyways RunWivscissors.

    I've changed my time on the computer. At 12-30am 2nd April (my time) it now shows 1st April 3-58pm. Hope that helps me.

    Only time will tell.

    Aww that sucks, what OS do u have? Mine is Windows 7.
    Its a really useful feature, I have times set for 5 diff places & when I hover over my clock it shows them all.
