I'm sorry but your post was provided without exactly thinking about it.
How will you handle that? So my payout is PST (pacific standard time) but i live in the middle european timezone. So tell me how will you handle the payout?
And the other problem is, you can not stay on first place, every team in pvp is beatable.
so again, how will you handle it?

Where are the other players with the same problem of a wrong timezone? come on lets stay together?

There are a lot of people who don't like the 5-7pm payouts for various reasons, but there aren't that many people with a completely wrong time zone set. That would only happen if you moved to another continent, were traveling when you started playing, or had your phone set to the wrong time, so it isn't all that common.

To add, or a VPN service that is based in another time zone, in the military deployed at the time of starting the game, studying abroad, or server error

my ipad was set to the right time zone. no vpn, no travelling, no military zone, no country moving. i opened a few tickets with only one reaction. I'm so sorry but changing payout time is not possible at the moment. i can't hear it anymore. it take a few minutes to change payout time in player settings.

Allowing individuals to set there own payout times would have the same effect as allowing you to use the best rank in last 24hrs...

It will allow everyone the "opportunity" to snag gems everyday, we all know that would be a great inventive to get player retention up... there still will be people who fail to do it because life happened and other misc reasons... idk which of the above options would be easier to code into the game.

This change would give all players, especially the f2p's access to the one area of the game EA/CG REALLY needs them be... it literally forces them to spend, and that exposure is the spark of life the game needs... more micropurchases... bring back some form of daily gem pack... like something that costs 1$-5$ and gives like x amount of gems per week/month...

Or how about something like a rewards booster pak? They could be tailored for events like LSTB, DSTB or TW to give like an additional amount of guild tokens, guild event tokens, credits and guaranteed gear per phase/zone of the TB/TW... heck you could even cement the deal and really give the P2W community the leg up they've always wanted AND hook everyone else by making different levels of the booster example below...

Like 0.99$ TW booster... (duration 3 days of TW)
- 50 gems each of the 3 days TW active.
- 250 guild event store/guild store tokens for each defensive team set or offensive win.
- guild event store/guild store tokens reward from 1st or 2nd place is increased by 50%

* guild rewards are increased for ENTIRE guild the # of members who have this 0.99$ guild buff active.

This will certainly motivate serious guild dedication.
Make several brackets of these buffs gained by the whole guild-

Bronzium- 1 guild member buffed = +10% increase in amount of banners gained.

Durasteel- 10 guild members buffed = +25% banner gain rate, +25% TW reward boost, +1 zeta & +2 omega.

Chromium- 25 or more guild members buffed = +100% banner gain rate, +100% TW reward boost, +2 zeta & 4 omega. 5 shards of whampa or hermit yoda.

Anyway
just a few ideas to kick around... @OP adjusting payouts in a positive way the above is a great way to earn the players loyalty to implement a surefire way to gain steady revenue because there will be competitive players & guilds that make buying boosters like I mentioned mandatory, and it creates tons of opportunity for F2P players they've never been exposed to and they will make a 0.99$ purchase... it's too tempting. It can also benefit the individual AND the guild at the same time. And it gives whales & kraken the ability to gain ground over F2P at a considerable faster rate which to my knowledge has been big issue among them. Every body wins... and the games mechanics are still in place.

you misunderstood me. In my opinion not player should be able to change his or her payout time, but cg should change payout times from players who has a wrong payout time like me.

And flood the market with free crystals. Don't hold your hopes too high.

Even if this is true and it happened to you for no reason whatsoever, that doesn't change the fact that it's not a common problem. The answer to your question "Where are the other players with the same problem of a wrong timezone?" is still that there just aren't very many of them.

You must have realized that this happened pretty quickly after unlocking arena. If I were you, I would have started a new account at that point with the correct time zone.

you're funny? I'm level 85 and i thought its not a big problem. however it is a big problem!
I have a email from ea/cg, during the registration that my problem was a server problem.

It actually is a big problem. My former guild had 40 military personnel who travel a lot so the original time zone they setup is no longer valid. But since they love star wars they still play even tho it means not always getting 600 energy spend because they miss energy boosts.

Solution, not much you can do about the arena elements of the game but they should increase the energy accumulation so you no longer have to login to get the boosts. There are plenty of reasons to login to the game now so this feature is obsolete.

Full disclosure, I have a personal interest in this because I moved 3 time zones so I miss my last reset.

Lastly, even if it weren’t a big issue as you contend, then it should not create a competitive issue if they manually changed a few players recorded time zones.
