Mine also hit at 1am that night, not midnight. It's frustrating for them to announce a day, then have it be wrong. Then they announce a time, and it's also wrong. If it's setup to activate when the day's activities reset, then just say that!

As far as CG is concerned, he is 100% correct. If you ask them about times, they will say my daily refresh is at midnight even though it is actually currently at 1:00AM. It is not a communication issue, it is an issue on our end where not everyone understands how the time actually works in game (and that part is CG's fault).

Midnight and "daily refresh" are synonyms in this game. You can argue it all you want. You can ask them to change it so you think it's clearer. But they are the same exact thing, so it won't matter.

Then why say midnight when they really mean nightly refresh?
