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!

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! The time wasn't wrong (except maybe for OP at 2am). They went live at midnight server time local time. If that's confusing, well of course it is. Midnight is only midnight for 6 months a year. The other 6 months it's either 11:00PM or 1:00AM. This is because everything is based on 24 hour timers, not actual time. So when you first get to arena, payout is 6:00PM, and then every 24 hours after that. Same for daily resets and bonus energies. That's why when the time changes, your payouts are still 24 hours from the last one. It's silly, but such is life.CG_TopHat said: "Bounty Hunter Bonus Drops are intended to go live from 9/22 through 9/26 at midnight Player Local Time, meaning that for those of you in other timezones you may already see it. " (emphasis mine)He doesn't say midnight server time (and if he does, that won't mean anything to a lot of people) - so he should communicate more accurately. He may not be technically wrong, but he's also not 100% right, and it's an example of inaccurate communication that causes confusion ... that was meant to clarify a previous inaccurate communication. 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).

"jkray622;c-1652776" wrote:But if he'd communicated "At daily refresh", then everyone would have understood.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.

I really don't see how this dst thing is an issue, or what anyone is complaining about..... It's not as if you get the event for more of less time than any other player.....

I was willing to stay up until midnight to maximize my drops, not 2AM.

You have a 2 hiurntime shift for DST?..... Realistically, it doesnt matter, you would still be able to do the same refreshes etc in the morning that you would at midnight.....

No, my reset is at 1AM right now, which is why I'm so confused. It'll go back to Midnight in a couple months. This is why @CG_TopHat and @CG_SBCrumb's posts confused me. They said midnight player local time, which I took to mean midnight, but even if they weren't accounting for DST, it still shouldn't have showed up at 2am.

You are confused about daylight savings. Currently our clocks are advanced by 1 hr which means if you don't count daylight savings you subtract an hour not add an hour. Which means without DST your reset is at 12:00am.

Oh the whole timezone dst thing throws me off for sure. However, I am positive that my bonus drops should not have appeared at 2am.

Oh, so you are saying that your bonus drops didn't show up until an hour after your reset time? Sounds like a bug.

I misread and thought you were saying that without DST it should have reset at 2am. I accidentally read the word "shouldn't" as "should".

Correct.
Is this a bug @CG_TopHat @CG_SBCrumb? I'd probably have Bossk 7* right now, since I'm currently 6 shards short.
