Daylight savings time settings?

One problem is that the Time Settings function in the Settings panel does not reflect the actual local time on the Sunday when we go to DST or leave from DST. So, if you think it is reflecting the proper local time, you will make a mistake if you adjust it on that Sunday. On Monday, though, the Time Settings panel is fully adjusted to local time.

One other note when adjusting you Daily Activities Reset is that your daily activities accomplished might also be reset to 0. So, if you have already done all your daily challenges and then adjust your rest time, you won't be able to get your daily activities rewards for that day. (They might have fixed it since last time, but I doubt that.)

If your payout happens to be at 5PM YOUR time Saturday and YOUR time falls back an hour then 4PM Sunday will be YOUR payout. Your time didn't change in the game but the time where you live did. The game keeps going and your time changed.

To put it another way - Your payout today is 24 hours after yesterdays payout.

Local time may have changed so that the time “you call it” when your payout comes around is now different. And yea of course all aspects of your life generally do change along with local time, which means that these time changes probably have some sort of real impact on your life and possibly your ability to climb at your “new” payout time.
But as explained above, there is really no other way to account for the various ways different areas handle the time change (or lack of).

That was sort of the reason behind giving each player 2 payout time changes per year.

LD, I’m aware of how DST works and that my payout fell back an hour. But my job hours, based on MY local time, still means that on the clock when I get home, it’s gonna be 5 pm or later. Hence the reason I set my reset time for 6 pm. Since my life by what would be read on the clock didn’t change, I want my reset time where I set it, 6 pm MY time. After reading Darjelo’s response and seeing the game does see local times, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for the game to keep the setting of 6 pm I set purposefully to fit the game into MY time.

I know what you mean. That annoys me every time and for years. The problem is not DST but that the selected time for reset and so on is changed in the game without the player initiating this. Before DST, I was set to 11 p.m. Automatically changed to 10 p.m. after the change. It's just badly programmed. If the game would simply keep the desired and, above all, intentionally chosen setting and not change it independently, it would be completely irrelevant whether DST or not. It's as if my alarm clock would decide independently that it no longer wakes me up at 7 a.m. (not DST) but after switching to DST at 6 a.m. DST now instead of 7 a.m. DST.

This is actually the reason they allow us to adjust our payouts. This is a new feature a few years back so when DST happens we can adjust to keep the same payout. That's why you get 2 a year

Maybe it did this last time and I don’t remember, but my time settings changed moving my reset from 6 pm to 5 pm. I had shifted work hours and have used my 2 reset time changes so I can’t change it back; what gives CG? Why would the time I set for resets actually change numbers from 6 to 5?

Mine is still normal resets at midnight and it's perfectly fine u shouldn't have changed it a lot of people I've seen changed time resets having a lot of problems.

The game does not observe daylight savings. CG didn’t do anything.


My settings literally changed from 6 pm, where I set it, to 5 pm, which I didn’t set, which seems weird to me and don’t remember happening 6 months or so ago. The actual number I set for reset did change, though, and while I’m fully aware that no one at CG actually changed it, my real question is why would/wouldn’t this have been coded in?

My job hours still adhere to the time that is actually on the clock, as does everything in this time zone; why would I expect the number I entered for reset to change when the time changed? Or vice versa, why wouldn’t I expect the number I entered to stay the same, regardless of the time change?

FYI, I fully understand I probably just don’t remember this is how it has always been and just don’t remember. But it just seems weird to me that this is what happens.
