FANTASTIC!!!!!
With a 48hr event, 8hrs is a lot to miss out on
This is a huge disadvantage, we miss the first 7 or 8 hrs most times the HWE start. This means for this period of time our funnels do nothing while other servers have there funnels running while they are sleeping.
PLEASE for HWE events at least have start times as per server clock to be more fair. Other event the effect is no where near as bad as any HWE event.

This happens EVERY HWE, it either effects NZ players more or Perth players more depending on start time. Huge difference in these times (5hrs), but if started by our clock it would be better for most on the server. As it stands, NZ players only missed as couple of hours to my 6.5hrs, that puts players in my State of WA way behind even before we wake up
Now I understand why you guy don't care about AU server time. For US server it started between 7:30AM and 10:30 AM great times, would be Ideal for us as well.
Europe London to Moscow 3:30Pm to 6:30PM Also great times we would be happy with.
But as we are AU server no one cares that start times for the whole server is sleeping. This is not new complaint
as for not enough time to run the event for the full time, GGS could have got rid if 1 of the 3 CC, or even shorten the CC not the HWE
@WascallyWabbit
Everyone gets the same amount of play time out of events
For any 24 hour period, Most people will sleep 8 hour, with a playtime ( potential of 16 hours )
If started when the server is awake, then all even.
On other events what you say is correct, but not on HWE.
As you'll be online for the finish ( as it will cost ressources for others to keep it running during their sleep )
But yeah, its a little advantage ( just FYI, I do play mainly during aussie time ) So the latest different time changes, affects me the same as you
And for most things so far, we tend to catch up in every event
Yes, the old start time, where we started during our prime, when most were sleeping was awesome ( but to be fair , others needs to have that start time for them as well sometimes )
Lets see what happens in the future
How can you say 5hr head start is minor on a 48hr race that is nearly 1/10 of the entire time. Like having a marathon 40km race and some starting at the 4km mark takes a lot to catch that up
EU players have not complained about start times lately as far as I am aware, at least not in any big way, so this is not a response to any 'preferred' players as you suggest. As mentioned, we have already requested that timezones a little further out from ours, such as AU and JP, are considered in the start times and we may begin to alternate or at least change up start times of events to catch those zones. We tried experiments a couple of years ago with starting things based on the server time but it caused a lot of issues and wasn't feasible then. Perhaps in the future we can review the option but in our experience it didn't work out well in the past. For now, this means there will be some events that start at a convenient time for you and others may not, but if this one doesn't start at a time suitable for you perhaps the next will. In the case of yesterday it was all down to the update and the delays there so apologies for that! Hopefully the future schedule will be able to catch more people on average.
The clock was exclusively used for the Happy Hour deals we ran in Summer and was not at all related to other events or offers. It exclusively displayed times you could login to collect Happy Hour bonuses and was never intended to be used for updates, event starts or any other feature besides the Happy Hours. It is also the case that this clock is now gone from the game, along with Happy Hour. We don't have any expectation the clock will return or ever be used for event start times as it had a very specific purpose which is now deprecated.
No EU would not have complained LATELY as all the last HWE have started 2PM-4PM, they were complaining when they were starting when they were sleeping
BTW the server clocks are still on our games
