Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2012.10.19 17:50:00 - [1] - Quote I think we should take a poll of the corps getting involved with this. I haven't met one person who likes the Friday times. Why not just lengthen the Saturday/Sunday sessions and cut Friday all together? I understand not all times work for everyone across the world, but middle of workday Friday for the US is obviously excluding a significant number of people. At least try to be fair to everyone. So far in support: Imperfects STB WTF URA Shadow Company On the Brink Deltaforce Synergy SMC Havok Merc Infantry

Agreed, CCP most of us are at work or at school at those times.
Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.10.19 17:52:00 - [3] - Quote Well, us EU guys have to not go get drunk on Friday night if it's later. Tbqh I don't care. CCP decided the times.
Tiel Syysch Imperfects Negative-Feedback 633	Posted - 2012.10.19 17:53:00 - [4] - Quote While I will personally be free during the times, I would like to see them not middle of the school/work day for people. People may have plans, but weekends are typically more open and generally don't require you to sacrifice your employment or education.

They want If it was 9PM EST I would be supporting this type of thread too. Does SI have any objection to cutting Friday for longer Sat/Sun?
GLOO GLOO Algintal Core Gallente Federation 217	Posted - 2012.10.19 17:54:00 - [6] - Quote I'm French but I agree... Just unfair... I know that you'll have a lots of work for the round robin, but give the same chance to everyone (or you'll organize groups with region times...)
Cyn Bruin Imperfects Negative-Feedback 651	Posted - 2012.10.19 17:54:00 - [7] - Quote Signed... at work on Friday.

I'm not in a position of authority in SI. It's a dictatorship, but the good sort. I just find it interesting that everyone signed up without knowing when the battles were. First thing I checked. I have no wish to play at 4.00am for example. Now, depending how important this is to you, take a day off. Be thankful you aren't in Australia. 1 universe, 1 giant pain in the arse.
Icy Tiger Universal Allies Inc. 1026	Posted - 2012.10.19 18:12:00 - [9] - Quote I'd sign. The weekend is perfect, but Friday kills it for everyone, especially in the middle. If you move it down to 5:00 PM EST, it would be fairer. All the EU guys have to do is sleep late. Hell, change it to midnight for NA peeps. Better than this.
Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2012.10.19 18:13:00 - [10] - Quote The time is an issue because of the day. There is no way to work around it besides neglecting real world priorities. This isn't for one person, it's for an entire country. I don't think 4AM is fair either, but at least it doesn't overlap with work for 99% of people in that time zone.

How were we supposed to know what the times were? The sticky on the forum doesn't say them (nor does it link anywhere that does). Apparently there's a community post on dust514.com about it, but that says it was posted Oct 18 at 00:00, 15 hours after the sticky went live and many of us were scrambling to get registered before the limited slots were taken up on a first come, first served basis.

I can change it if you wish. However if your guys are game for making sure EVERYONE get's their lineup they want in, I'm not sure why you wouldn't support this. For the record I can make this time, and I still think it is making the tournament too reliant on external factors.

Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.10.19 19:18:00 - [18] - Quote Something to do with people signing up to things and not reading the small print I believe.
Sha Kharn Clone Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1087	Posted - 2012.10.19 19:20:00 - [19] - Quote sok Noc I find readingz hard also. What I miss anyway they doing somthign new with corp battles or somthing ?
Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.10.19 19:22:00 - [20] - Quote http://www.dust514.com/beta/tournament/ Look at EST on Fridays. Bad times for the US guys.

Sha Kharn Clone Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1087	Posted - 2012.10.19 19:25:00 - [21] - Quote Ow yea I see. Did we sign up to to this ? Looks like good fun I'm glad Its a on at a good time for me
Oxskull Duncarino Shadow Company HQ 164	Posted - 2012.10.19 19:28:00 - [22] - Quote +1. Even though I'm in Ireland I agree that it's a bit of a joke for the rooster times. At the very least the first two weekends are the only ones with a Friday slot so the Friday start time should be changed to later.
Xander Dragomirov Doomheim 2	Posted - 2012.10.19 19:30:00 - [23] - Quote Hello guys, As someone who lives way up north at the tundra I must absolutely support my American brothers and sisters here. Change those times CCP! Just my 30 cents. Xander
SILENTSAM 69 Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 421	Posted - 2012.10.19 19:47:00 - [24] - Quote This is good practice for the future. You wont be able to pick battle times then. I wouldnt care if it was Wednesday 2am. I would wake up to be there.
Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.10.19 20:11:00 - [25] - Quote The bottom line is Uk-Us-Australia/Russia someone loses out. Get 4 players on, get some ringers, jobs a good'un. I've played too many MAG battles at 4:00am because they want to start at 10-11 est.
Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2012.10.19 20:34:00 - [26] - Quote It's not the time, it's the day. There is no reason to have it on a Friday if we are already scheduled for the weekend.
Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.10.19 20:59:00 - [27] - Quote Unless people have commitments at the weekend. I'm only playing devils advocate here because of my past MAG based timezone hassles. Personally, I'm not that bothered. There might not even be a full 16 teams, in which case I think CCP needs to fix things so you yanks can getcha battles in. In a way, it'd be better to just get it all done in 1 evening. But it seems CCP want to string it out.

But it seems CCP want to string it out. Yeah, but weekend commitments are one thing and work/school are another. It's also asking you to give up 3 weeks in a row of Fridays, whether that's your income or some form of education, which it likely is for the majority of people in the US during the selected time. One Friday wouldn't be too bad, but requiring 3 Fridays is a bit much for anybody to give up if it's work/school related.
Mister Hunt Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 230	Posted - 2012.10.19 21:53:00 - [29] - Quote I am American. I could care less what time the tourny is. Why? Because New Eden isn't a weekenders paradise. -A- doesn't stop taking over sov. just because it is no longer the weekend. CCP should NOT pander to us American players. If you can't advance past the first round based on you not getting enough players on 1 day, then you don't deserve the honor of fighting for the championship because this is all about who can CONSISTENTLY field the best team. Not who can field the best when it works out for them. Welcome to New Eden, welcome to 23/7 warfare. I work Wednesday night through Saturday night. Pretty much every time except Sunday afternoon interferes with my life. Guess what, I will be at this tourny with bells and friggin' whistles!!!
