Hiya!
We try to avoid the top of the hour to avoid arena payouts and push Game Updates a little bit after the hour. While we can't please everyone, we do give notice here on the forums of when a Game Update is coming via the Game Update Status post to allow Players to plan accordingly.

Respectfully,
That post was at 5:30pm; speaking for my restart, it was at 5:50pm. I highly doubt many players are on the forums every 20 minutes, and if so, can get to wifi in that 20 minutes.
An in game message would be nice, even if it said to check the forums. I didn't get the in game message until after the client restart

While I understand how that would seem helpful, that would require a secondary client update to implement that pop up notification and another to push the actual Game Update.

Why not add in a server side announcement that’s part of the game permanently as part of QOL, there is no reason it shouldn’t be able to be done and actually help with a relevant issue. Especially considering updates always vary from time to time and never consistently drop at the same time

Please stop making these threads; it's probably (definitely) so annoying for staff on here. No matter what someone will be affected. If it's you thats affected then you just gotta attack earlier and deal with it unfortunately.

Nah, there are 3 time zones with less than 1000 humans in them

We have a winner!!

It's always payout somewhere.

Not at xx:01 or xx:02 or xx:03 all the way to xx:45. There's literally more time that's not a payout time they could utilize than is a payout time

Actually some people do have payouts at xx:30

moved to correct sub forum.

It's moot anyway, because they fixed the problem with arena fights not getting counted more than a year ago, didn't they?

I think the OP was talking about not being near wifi and not being able to download game close to payout time , not talking about losing their arena attempt

You think that xx:45 is some magical cutoff that makes it payout time? You think the OP wouldn't have had the exact same complaint if the restart had come at xx:40 instead of xx:45?
