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!!!

This is asinine. You really think the best corp is determined by who has the most EU players or US players with no job? Honestly? You can't even take off because it is spaced out so much.

When you put it like that...fair F's dude, ya hit the nail on the head.

This is a tournament though... personally I dont care, but im just highlighting your argument is false in this context.

How is it false? If it was at 4 a.m. every day for U.S. you can bet the same people would be in here complaining. Guess what, we aren't the only players playing this game. The sooner you people realize it, the better. Changing times to suit YOU means that the time may not work for someone else.
And to think people told me that people wouldn't think it was all about them. I replied to them that this is a console game, of course it is all about them. Guess I was right hehe.

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.

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.

The fact is, as Hunt said, the full game is more than likely going to have clashes of the time zones, so the corp that has members from as many areas as possible is going to rule the roost. And what, are you making excuses already. A lot of the crowd I know here have jobs, partners, a life. Go cry some more

Who really cares anymore? They are not going to fix the dust particle glitch before the toury. Tournament is going to be as broken as this build.

umm we KNOW this for the full game but u dont seem to get this is a TOURNAMENT
do u see the Alliance tournaments starting at stupid times and days for ppl? NO

You think the best corp is going to be the winner of this beta event ?

I think the futures going to be very interesting.

Personally I think the corp with the most activity and timezone coverage will be the winner of this beta event.

And being able to transfer isk from EVE/Sisi is another thing that will help some of the corps out. Those with no Eve support will have less money to spam into the tourney.

So IMO timezone coverage and isk will determine the winner.

Now, those actually showing up to the matches of course must be able to actually kill the opponent but the schedule is laid out in a way to stretch the rosters out to (In my opinion) see who has a deep bench (is the roster dependent on one or two good squads or is the entire corp skilled).

Yea ever corp with an eve freind should be loaded about now.

The Alliance tourny started in the middle of the freakin' night for some and very early in the a.m. for others. So I don't see where you are going with this. You do understand that no matter what time it is made, that someone is gonna get screwed. The US players don't have the right to dictate when others play. That is one reason that the rest of the world rightfully believes we are arrogant. This is not an American company. It is an Icelandic company. We play by their rules and customs, not ours.

Just out of curiousity.

I wonder how many of the people that want a time change, were the same ones saying HTFU, when others complained about unfair game mechanics, OP weapons, etc, etc.

Just sayin'

Yes turrets have been OP for months, now the hulls they are attached to are paper. Since it's not changing before the tourney learn the counters that work and practice fighting different strategies. I still deeply disapprove of the Friday times when the resolution is so simple.

I don't think you read his post right Noc.
