While I agree we should be able to choose our own timezones, it's only a minor inconvenience. You only have to convert it once, it doesn't change like currency. Then just add or subtract the required number of hours, and you have the time. It's not that difficult.

My timezone is -8, and CCP uses 24-hour time format. Plus the American format is mm/dd/year. Trying to convert this backward euro garbage of 2013.02.04 21:17 GMT to PST 12-hour format and mm/dd/year is effin ridiculous.

I don't give a **** how easy or hard it is, these euros need to have an option for each person to see THEIR timezone and preferred date format on each and every post.

Tired of trying to make heads or tails of this backward euro date/time format on these forums. Every other forum on the face of this planet has the option to change these options, except the Dust 514 forums.

GMT/UTC is actually the universal world timezone. I don't know why some americans insist on being so self-centered and that everything is done according to their wishes.

That's a lot of hate you seem to have there. Calm down and suck it up like everyone else. I have to do the same thing on 'backwards American' sites, as you so eloquently put it, and I have never complained nor has my brain had a problem doing the minimal calculation to 'make heads or tails' of it.

Take your attitude elsewhere.

Seriously, tired of having to convert GMT to figure out what time something has been posted/replied to in my timezone on these forums.

Don't be selfish CCP, not everybody is on GMT like you. Heck, I would guess 99% of the people that visit this forum are not on GMT time. So PLEASE, give us the option to choose our timezone and have it shown on posts based on our settings.

Been suckin' it up for too long now (months). There is absolutely NO reason for timezone and time-format options to be absent on a forum like this.

My timezone is -8, and CCP uses 24-hour time format. Plus the American format is mm/dd/year. Trying to convert this backward euro garbage of 2013.02.04 21:17 GMT to PST 12-hour format and mm/dd/year is effin ridiculous.

1. Mmm, using a 24h time way to complicated for you, you need a to know if its AM or PM? well, if its Past 12, its PM and you only need to subtract 12.

2. If your time-zone is -8 then subtract 8 BEFORE doing the 24h format -> AM/PM conversion.

3. So they use DD/MM/YY on the forums? nope i.e: " Extended server downtime - 1/31/13 " i don't know else in the world, but "euro" years have only 12 months so I'm gonna suppose its MM/DD/YY date format (which btw is complete bullshit, why do you put days between month and year? that's like SO efficient to sort)

PD: nice attitude man, I'm sorry our poor time formats suppose a shock after watching your highly advanced and efficient ones, and that your also highly advanced and efficient brain can't do 2 ******* sums and an (inexistant, because format is already MM/DD/YYYY) swap. After all there in -+USA? must exist that wonder gadget called calculator that do sums for you. Here in Europe we are waiting for the abacus, our experts conclude development could be completed this year but we had to pause it because we understand that developing the wheel is more important to move vegetables from our fields to the lord castle else he may come, burn our houses and **** our women.

I like this very much. That statement is very true to life in my country. We use cows as taxis and our landline cables are made from vine.

Aren't Americans annoying? And that's coming from someone who lives there.

It's not on gmt, it's on utc. (Co-ordinated Universal Time)

Just happens to be the time that most intercontinental business', games, agencies and armies use.

I give my heart felt apologies that the time the world uses as world time is an inconvenience to you.........


How ever, a little drop down box that you can choose your time zone in options for people incapable or un willing to work it out wouldn't hurt. Would it ccp?

Technically, GMT and UTC are the same thing.

And technically, it's on New Eden Time, which "just happens" to line up neatly with GMT/UTC. Totally a concidence. Not planned by the Jovians Devs at all.

Which is basically taken from this:

Sorry the US is the #1 country in the world. Envy and hate us some more will ya?

at last my first flame on the Dust forums.

Firstly, CCP aren't on GMT themselves
Secondly, it has to have a time (a universal one - think of the chaos caused with corps having ppl for more than one TZ when setting up op)
Thirdly, Dust time is the same as Eve which as been set for 10 years with 500k accounts and you are the first to whine.

forthly - posting in pointless whine thread - learn to do maths

No1 in what?

Number of people in jail, and firearms per capita.

And yet, you are only reinforcing it with your attitude.
Face it, the world does not revolve around your country. Nor any other country for that matter.

PS.
Get on the metric system at last. And while we're on the subject, MM/DD/YY ?????????? Wtf, that's stupid as hell. Also: It's EIGHT O'CLOCK. What? EIGH PEE EM MAN EIGH PEE EM.

Yeah, no matter how much the rest of the world denies it, US > everybody. When we fall, the world falls. You will find that out soon enough when the Obama admin finally destroys our once great country and turns it into a socialist wasteland resembling something Hitler may have come up with if he was alive and in charge.

Very few want to hear it or admit it, but we are the staple of this planet. We are one of the youngest countries, yet the most powerful and prominent in the world.

Who let Ted Nugent into the Dust Beta?

Only in cities where gun laws are uber strict. Cause we all know that tough gun laws mean safer streets .... LOL!!! Yeah Chicago and Washington D.C. prove that

Interesting how the most gun-restricted cities are the most crime infested... strange right???

Because we all know criminals obey the laws.

Dont believe every thing Uncle Sam tells you

Well played, good sir. Well played.

Nope, your incarcerated individuals are disproportionately minor drug users & repeat offenders.

in Soviet Russia the media doesnt tell you anything

Would be nice if they got the electric chair. That way they wouldn't have a chance to repeat offenses. But the European way is to let them out because they have been "rehabilitated".

Save money, execute criminals. Jail is just a government funded day-care for deadbeats.

Hi, Euroguy here.

I like to pretend the united states doesn't exist.

Everytime people start talking about it I put my fingers in my ears and close my eyes and start humming the canadian national anthem. I try not to think about the unjust wars, the delusions of imperialism and the gross, unfettered corruption at the federal level.

It gives me sads to think about these things

Note to newguys :
The only timezone is UTC, aka GMT-0, aka Eve Time. Learn what your offset to UTC is and only ever share times in UTC.
This makes scheduling things possible for people in all timezones. Everyone only needs to know their local conversion to and from UTC. Simple.

Still no excuse as to why a time conversion mode isn't available when viewing posts on this forum.

No excuse at all.

But hey, why don't we all just speak in Latin then, huh? "HTFU" and talk like the ancient Romans you lightweight scrubs! Latin is "ground zero" for all the romance languages, so there you go! "Welcome to NEW EDEN" and all that other silly jazz I'm constantly hearing from the NL community around here.

It's geeky. It's purposely oblique. It's a turn off to a large percentage of customers who might be intersted in their product. In total, it's a poor business decision on CCP's part. Thinking like this and coddling a relatively small and thick-headed fanbase is why CCP will stay stuck in the Double A Leagues and never make it into the Majors. And that scenario will certainly not make any large investors or Sony very happy.
