Challenge Cap Increased
Today’s Update increases the maximum number of Challenge Events attempts by 2 for both Fleet and Character Challenges. This increase will last until 5/28.


Here's the quote for the Hard node challenges as well

Hard Nodes Cap Increased
In celebration of May the 4th, from 5/4 to 5/28 the Hard Node cap has been increased from 5 to 8!

Except they didn't give us the day on 5/28 - only a partial day (at least for all of the US players). It is wholly reasonable to conclude it would last through each players' "day".

Most events begin and end at the start and end of your own personal time zone's day. This event didn't start that way, which is probably also why it didn't end that way. But all you did was exercise your long institutional memory about They Way Things Work, you read the tea leaves properly, or you got lucky. No combination of those is good justification for getting pedantic on the forums at people who have a legitimate grievance. Yo.

I suppose it's midnight somewhere

Exactly...

Yes, but the logical thing to expect world be that both the challenge caps and hard node caps return to their normal amounts at each players daily reset, not in the middle of the day. This is how they operate the double drop timing. If they had a countdown icon on the right of the screen similar to what they do with the double drops, no one would’ve had any issues. This is just CG not thinking this through at all, and losing much of the good faith that they gained by extending the nodes to begin with. Their lack of communication on this midday update cost many of us those extra zetas and Carbantis, period. If we had known what the timing on the update was going to be, none of us would’ve held off on doing the challenges.

Just another modification by a company that doesn't play it's own game so doesn't understand little nuances like this. I don't know how many times I'm going to fall into their traps. We'll see on the next one I guess. Hey at least they gave use that iconic ship from The Empire Strikes Back this month, and made sure to point out where in the movie it shows up. Cause it's iconic. A true icon.

Yes which is why many were screwed out of 4 zetas not just 2.

Great, yet irrelevant. These things historically change at midnight. Doing it early is not the "natural conclusion", plus most people have lives and aren't tracking forum posts and w/e you think makes screwing thousands of players ok.

What things change at midnight? How is it early? Have you not noticed that CG has kept the same update time? People who aren't tracking forum posts clearly aren't putting in the level of investment to justifiably be upset at things in this game. "I'm upset because I didn't know! I could have found the information online before the event ended, but I'm upset because the information wasn't just delivered to me at my door!" Negligence isn't justification to be upset.

No, that would be the 29th. You should acquaint yourself with CG's standard update time within your time zone.

Then 1 second before midnight. CG apologists are as disconnected from reality as CG.
