I have lost the GAC this time because neither one between me and my rival get a chance to battle as the server time changed.
I was only now aware that the server followed the american time change: an in game warning about this would have been ideal!
Usually you were letting the user changing the time, not the server...
It happens twice a year (for now).
Lesson: don't wait till the last hour of a 24 hour period to attack.
Sometime waiting is the best strategy, mate.
Lesson: the rest of the world does not follow americans.
I've always just gone all out trying to get the best score ican, not depending on my opponent to fail or not. But hey, you do you.
And no. I'm Canadian. We observe it, too. (For now at least).
This is the first time in 10 years we would need to change the time of the game 4 times per year then (unfortunately with only 2 chances to do that in the game).
A lesson from Europe then: Canada is in America, ergo, you are an american.
I have been playing the game for 9 years, and this particular time change issue (UK in-game times are - for another 10 days or so - 1 hour earlier than normal) has happened to me several times - but today was the first time I’ve lost a round as a result.
I cleared half the map and resolved to clear the rest later, but the phase ended at 9pm UK time due to the US clock change pulling events forward an hour.
That said, I’ve got no one to blame but myself. For the entirety of the attack phase a timer was on screen telling me how long was left. I just didn’t look at it. Neither did you.
You are completely wrong about this being the first time.
This happens twice every single year in the brief period between US clocks changing and clocks in other countries changing.
Hmmm if only there was a timer counting down to when the attack phase ended.
Please don’t confuse Americans with our politics. For the most part, we love Canadian people and truly appreciate all they do to protect us, it’s a shared bond. Cheers to the Red & White!
Time change has been a plague for the whole computer science since the first computer was built. A necessary evil that most people have become accustomed to.
I'm sorry for you but, really, complaining about this is like complaining that the earth isn't flat. As others have pointed out, keep an eye to the timers on your right next time.
Ah that explains what happened to me..D'oh! Oh Well on the flip side at least some peeps got an easy win...Haha
