Raid Blackout timing

CG has already said that the blackout will start on April 27th.

But when on April 27th? Given this is a global game, "April 27th" could mean anything within an almost 24 hour period from 0:00 just west of the international date line to 23:59 just east of it. Given typical event timing, the most likely would be 0:00 PDT, but it would be nice to have some confirmation.

Knowing when the blackout will begin will help guilds plan how to use whatever raid currency they have remaining and give everyone in the guild a chance to get some rewards before the week of no raids.

    That's not the best approach actually. The best approach is always from the rear, under the cover of darkness. Always leverage the element of surprise.


    I'll try that next Valentines Day.

    a very unreasonable thing to ask!

    It would be nice to know. We'd like to launch raids early enough so everyone can join/participate but wait as long as possible to maximize tickets.

    And our reset is in the US evening after 0:00 UTC. So if that is the cutoff, we'll miss out.

    Ppint being is what I said originally "the 27th" is too vague given time zones. Would be nice if it could get narrowed down.


    1) Obviously, no one knows. Probably not even the developers who would make the change knows at the moment. Keep your ears up for any update on reddit, discord, in-game, and on discord. Youtube may be good too.

    2) Not a good idea to even risk 1 hour into April 27th. You kinda want to make sure it's at a healthy drop time where everyone can participate in the raids, so maybe 11:30 PM PST, since we know CG HQ is in California. Heck, even push 2 hours earlier if you want folks on Eastern time zone to make it too.

    3) If somehow that pushes the join period into 4 hours or less, notify everyone. At worst, they miss out on rewards.
