Game time change

Daylight savings is basically the reason we have it so we can change it 2x per year. It’s pretty much the only thing that does count when it comes to time changes

There are circumstances outlined by OP where having 3-4 available time changes in a year would be extremely helpful. Many don’t adjust times for DST, but for those that do and then move from PST to EST would require another change in order for the multiple timing events in a given day to fit ones schedule.

Like many, I believe this should still be a limited number of time changes available, but 2 changes only covers normal activities for those who never move time zones. 3-4 instead of 2 would be reasonable imo.

So... I changed my game time last time change in the USA. Then I moved to another country and changed time a few months ago, now daylight time changed again and EA won’t let me change to my standard time resets of 1200, 1800, 2100.
This is the same time that I have played the game for years.

I also changed it for Daylight savings this year and accidentally messed it up, then before I changed it back, the clock was adjusted. I did make a post on this the day after Daylight savings, and they adjusted the clock after that. So maybe they listened? I think they should give us 1 more shot at changing it because of their error.

Support can’t help they say wait 230 days until one of my reset expires.

Basically moving and changing twice for daylight savings time is not allowed.

Support can get around it. EA Support is notoriously bad, but if you keep trying it might work.

Otherwise, you're right. It was designed specifically for timezone changes due to Daylight Savings, which is why they picked twice a year. I would bet that in over 99% of instances, that is enough, which is why they are unlikely to change. It is unfortunate for you, but short of continuing to try with support you really have no other option but to deal with it.

Time change, move to another country, and their time change doesn’t work.....

Daylight savings time shouldn’t count as one of the two changes

Well if you move time zones during the year that’s a change too.

Other Disney/EA games automatically update daylight savings time.

This isn't other Disney/EA games. This one works on a 24 hour clock. The ability to change your times was added very specifically for local clock changes. You get 2 per year because that's how time changes work everywhere.

Just because some people still live in the same house and location all your life, 2x are plenty.
Other people in the world move time zones and then there is another time change needed.

All I did was change my time on daylight savings time twice in the last few months and move 8 time zones and I can’t play the game in my local time zone.
What a way to treat players who have played the game for several years.

Kind of a weird take on the situation. You could just travel back in time a few years when you could change your time zero times? Or you could try support, they are able to make the change as well.
