4th place I go: please please please change my timezone

Greeting,

I come to you now as my 4th stop; I have asked through email and got blown off. Later I emailed again, and got blown off; thanks to persistence I was told to go to live chat.

I just did that, and although the guy tried, he also said he could not help me and told me to go here because only the studio team could help me. 

So I come to you in the hopes that after hours of back and forth, you can finally help me.

I've been playing since Dec last year and over time have become more and more serious and competitive. I have also been spending money in the game, and intend to continue to do so if it was not for 1 major issue: 

I started playing while I was on holiday in Peru, whereas I live in Amsterdam. That means my arena pay out  happens at midnight and 1 am (squad and arena) and my last energy refresh is at 3am. As I take the game more and more seriously, this is becoming a significant problem and it's hampering my enthusiasm considerably because it is just unfair. 

I'm trying to compete and I'm trying to help my guild to the max possible, but that has lead to me losing a lot of sleep and always missing the 3 am energy refresh. After so many attempts and being told to go to x and y without avail, I don't feel like a particularly valued customer though I most certainly have passion for the game (and am spending).

Please please help me change the timezone to GMT+1 Amsterdam time. If I again hear that I should go somewhere else for help I will expect some kind of reasonable recompense if you'd like me to keep playing & spending, because this just isn't right, and the issue at hand is not fair. 

I appreciate your time. 

Kind regards,

Floyd (Darius Naharis)

    Unfortunately, there isn't a way you can go in-game and change the time that your cantina energy refreshed.

    I will pass the feedback onto the SWGOH team.

    Hi Darko,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I realize it cannot be done in game. The other people from EA I talked to (3 others with the same question) also said that they cannot change it for me. The last one told me to go here so that a developer of the team directly can change it for me.

    So, could you send this request to change it, and not just the feedback that it is not possible ?

    This is really a big problem for me, and I love the game otherwise.

    I have the same issue. Started playing the game while visiting Dubai, but now back home in Australia and my payout times are 1am and 2am local time.

    I miss out on approximately 150 crystals everyday due to this issue and am considering quitting as there’s just no way I can continue to progress my arena rankings with this problem.

    Please please please change my time zone to my actual location so that I have the same opportunities as everyone else has

    As stated, I have no desire to change my energy refresh time. I wish to change when my arena payouts take place.

    Also, I understand I cannot change it. But IT team can change it yes?

    @XanAurelius There is no one who can change the time zone. 

    I will pass the feedback on to the devs.

    That makes me really unhappy. You admit then that this is a mistake on your side, what about some recompense then?

    @XanAurelius The game is working as intended. 


    I am closing this thread as it has been discussed many times before. There is currently no way to change the time zone in the game.
