I'm on the West Coast, and the prize assignment happens to be at 6pm. Which gives me pretty much no chance to participate in the hottest and most important hour of the Arena battles, as it's driving home from work, dinner, family, etc.. Can we have a server that would have the prize hour at a later time, preferably at 9pm? Please?

For every person who works 8 to 5 (or 6 to 9) 6pm is an extremely inconvenient time for gaming. It's probably good for kids, but for working adults it's pretty bad.

I'm sorry it's bad times for you, but what about others that the time is good for. What is good for you, may not be good for them.It sucks as no time will be good for everyone. But atleast they do different pay out times. Most games I played rewards are sent out at midnight SERVER time, which means only one pay out a day. I'm not defending the pay out time as I would like it a little later myself. But have to understand no mater what time they choose, it's not going to be good for everyone. It's really impossable to fix it to where everyone has pay out times good for them.

6 pm ist just a bad time in general for most people. It is the dinner hour and also a time when many are commuting from work.I hope they make this more flexible soon. Actually, I hope they redo the entire PvP system soon...

Allows everyone in the family to have do their Squad Arena battles at a time they are most likely to be free enough to do so. 6p.m. is just too inconvenient for everyone from working adults to students studying hard.

Wait, my bed time is at 9:00. Although if I do all my chores and brush my teeth I get to read a book until 9:30. ;)
Seriously there is no one time that would be great for everyone. 6:00 is fine.

Please reconsider the arena pay out time. 6pm is horrible for most working folks and your paying customers.

9 PM would be bad for me, and I would more than likely lose my top 3 finishes everyday as I wouldn't be able to play. Moving to 7 or 8 would be great. 9 PM heck no. Would rather it stay it 6pm than 9.

I bet they know how many are active in their time zone so they know the best times to have it. While forums are great way to get ideas across, I bet not even 10% of the people that play even uses these forms. So every form person could vote yes, but that doesn't mean the majority of people playing want it changed.

I always thought one should be able to pick from 3 or 4 time slots and be locked in for a set number of weeks. Say something like, 3, 6, and 9 local time.
