You silly US people have too many time zones with silly acronyms

I see this entire thread is being endorsed by Crux Special Tasks Group. This is interesting...

It's Hawaii's and Arizona's fault.

They don't like Daylight.

Nooooooo! Who invited you?!

We did.

He's one of the guys we're going to kill!

DAmmit world why does everyone do events on Saturday afternoons when I am at work?

You can't kill what you can't see. Everyone knows that all Osmon Surveillance personal are equipped with cloaking devices.

Point of contention that a friend brought up, at 00:00 GMT on Friday August 31st, wouldn't that be 8:00pm on Thursday August 30th if you live in USA Eastern Standard Time (New York City | Atalanta).

Regardless, I am operating under the assumption that corp battles will take place for me as follows:
(East Coast USA time | EST | New York City | GMT -4)

Friday Aug 31st @ 8pm
Saturday Sept 1st @ 8pm
Sunday Sept 2nd @ 8pm

Regarding your point of contention, that's exactly what I posted in my opening post of this very thread. Which means that the battles take place on the 30th and 31st of August, and the 1st of September.


I'm guessing you just kind of glossed over that.

Yes, i did not catch that, my apologies. I'm slow and need things spelled out to me like I am in 2nd grade.

SO....if I live in New York City on the East Cost of the USA will I have corp battles starting at 8:00pm on Thursday (Aug 30th) or Friday (Aug 31st)?

Thank you kindly for your patience.

Bro you just forgot the CKA time zone. That would be CRUX KICKIN' ASS time. And that's round clock.

No problem.

Unless CCP itself doesn't understand time zones and made an error, your first battles anywhere in the USA will take place on Thursday August 30th.

Great, thanks Shisno.

IF we are allowed to play in both EU & US corp battle sessions, that means the available times for me would be:
(East Coast USA)

8pm Thursday August 30th (1st US session)
4pm Friday August 31st (1st EU session)
8pm Friday August 31st (2nd US Session)
4pm Saturday September 1st (2nd EU session)
8pm Saturday September 1st (3rd US Session)
4pm Sunday September 2nd (3rd EU Session)

Correct or did I miss something?

Since I live GMT +3 ...

Gee thanks CCP wasn't planning sleeping anyway.

Hey guys,

Corp vs Corp event does not prevent anyone from playing at any time on any match. This was just a schedule for EU / US convenience since timezone difference is rather big between those. Just make sure to get in quickly - there will be limited amount of games available in those 2x 1.5h timeframes! And remember, if you participated in the event, post in the corp vs corp feedback thread: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=33811&find=unread

Thank you!

This leads me to believe that US corp battles will begin tomorrow, Friday August 31st.

It seems like someone at CCP indeed doesn't understand time zones after all.

It's now 10 minutes after 0:00 GMT on August 31st and there is no sign there will be any Corporation Battles today.

***EDIT***
For the US, i mean.

It seems that someone at CCP does not understand time zones very well.

If that's true, then CCP totally ****** up their announcement and cannot tell what their own server time is.

M.T.

For the continental USA there are only 4 time zones.

Eastern (CCP server time -4 hours in the summer or -5 hours in the winter.)
Central (CCP server time -5 hours in the summer or -6 hours in the winter.)
Mountain (CCP server time -6 hours in the summer or -7 hours in the winter.)
Pacific (CCP server time -7 hours in the summer or -8 hours in the winter.)

In the summer, when Daylight Savings Time is used, the USA time zones are called, for instance,

Eastern = EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)

and in the winter they are called, for instance,

Eastern = EST (Eastern Standard Time)

If you are an American and you don't know all the continental USA time zones, then I also hope you haven't finished fourth grade yet.

CCP does not change their server time for Daylight Savings. So, in the summer EVE server downtime is at 7:00am EDT, and in the Winter the server downtime is at 6:00am EST. I guess there is no Daylight Savings time in space, or else there are no time zones. `Aye?

And WTF do they do in binary star systems, which are more prevalent in the real universe than systems with one star (our Sun), like ours.???

M.T.

However the United States isn't just the Continental United States.

Is this for real
