Change payout time

Hi, im a player in spain. My payout times are in the early morning hours. You know if its possible that EA without changing server, change my payout time ?. Energy recharges are also a disaster. Thanks

    It shouldn't be a regular thing but if you started playing in one time zone or country and at some point moved to another country which is 9+ hours different than where you started, I don't see it being an issue for a one time change.
    I completely agree with not having a mechanic in place where people can change it on their own, that would cause problems as listed above but if it's a 1-2 per year option where you have to go through customer service (military being deployed overseas and stuff) I have no problem with it


    Then they should request a server change not a payout time change. Payout time change for a single person or even a handful of people so that it is more convenient would give the people who have a different payout time than the rest of the server a very unfair advantage, as they would have little to no opposition in reaching #1 every day. While everyone else fights for 1st from 5-6, you'd have that one guy that has a payout at midnight so he creeps to rank 1 getting #1 every day, and not because he earned it but because he's a cry baby who couldn't deal with reality.

    I served in the Navy too, and I had bigger issues than a payout from a game. But, maybe the reason all these Navy ships are crashing lately is that the new generation of sailors is fighting for # 1 in swgoh, or complaining that the payout time is unfair.


    I can see that but that still doesn't help the player who went from a 6PM payout, which I believe is standard based on the timezone that you started playing in, to a 3am payout because you are now in a timezone 9 hours away. The server change would not effect that and all servers should have people in all timezones because the server shard is based on the date you started playing so that you have people roughly around the same levels of progression (not counting the whales).


    Deal with it, it's unfair no matter what the freaking circumstances are to give anyone an advantage because they don't like the payout time. If the payout time in swgoh is that important to you find a job that works for your swgoh schedule. Maybe a 6pm - 2am job?



    do you always attack total strangers with legitimate curiosities in this fashion or were you just experiencing menstrual discomfort?

    Actually a miracle that Navy ships during your time of service didn't crash regularly. You are as wrong as you are loud and persistent. A dangerous mixture :).

    As far as I know your payout time (and all the other ticks) is determined by the time zone of your device at the time you install the game.
    Your arena shard is determined when you reach level... was it 27?... well when arena starts. At that time you simply get stuffed into that shard with other new lvl 27s until the shard is full (20000 players). So it has nothing to do with your payout time. And there will already be plenty of players with diverse payout times. And theoretically you can have 24 rank 1 payouts a day already.
    So yes: Being able to change the PO-Time can lead to ppl in a shard chat to adjust their times to all grab the number 1 in a day. And/But yes it would help ppl. to that have moved or have other, more urgent matters (job, family, etc.) during those 2 hours direktly before arena PO. So the question ist: What is more important?

    As it is everyone who is aiming for 1stish is 'colluding' to maximize their gain. In my case I would be happy if the payout time was reset to a time when I am not at work. I would pay money to change it. ...and why 6pm?? why not midnight like the bulk of things?

    Has there been any thought on an averages and extremes based system not dependent on time?


    No need to pay money. You can just set the time zone you want when you create a new account.

    So you want the devs to change payout time because it is inconveniencing "you"?

    So there are 1.2 million+ other people here and they should just change it for "you"?

    Good luck with that.
