Update times

It would be cool if we could find a better update slot than the standard 1EST.

1EST is roughly 7pm in Germany, 8pm in other European countries and Africa.

With not great internet connections, it takes many of us 5 hours to download these chunky updates. This is a write off, which is disappointing especially for many of us who follow the hye build up and it's totally avoidable.

Im not suggesting there is some Magic time that'll solve this for all timezones, but Europe and Africa are really large portions of the player base I would imagine. If we could move the update to 8am EST it would give America, europe and Africa enough time to update in time for evening / night gaming which I would imagine is when most people play.

  • @RSArussian Yeah, the problem for me is that the update always happens when I am about to start gaming session.
    Still it doesn't take too much time for me, but I would rather it happened sooner.

    Nevertheless I think there always will be someone complaining, no matter the time

    Yeah for me it's not so quick ☹️ 5 hours or so

    I get that there's no perfect time, but I really think there could be a better timeslot considering the current is like 7pm for Europe and Africa.

    I really think earlier in the day for everyone (USA, Europe and Africa) would benefit the most amount of people

    Sadly internet speeds are just not great in europe, or at least in Germany ☹️
