Today's tasks

Just started the second 4 hour task, I have had them be pretty accurate so far. Pacific time zone.

Those of us in the Pacific time zone live where the EA servers live. (EA servers, however do not observe Daylight Savings) We will match the calendar unless one of two things happens:

1. If we stay up until midnight and schedule our first task at that time, our FIRST task of the new day will match the FIRST task of the day before. All the other tasks (2, 3, and 4) will match tasks 2, 3, and 4 of the new day.

This is mostly right.

If you start tasks after midnight, the game will follow the schedule for the previous day UNTIL the time hits 8 AM GMT. Then, the game will follow the sequence for the following day.

If you work night shifts or are otherwise nocturnal, you can exploit this. For example, yesterday, June 16 was supposed to be 2-1-4-4, and today, June 17 is supposed to be 4-4-2-2.

I'm in the Eastern time zone (GMT -4). On June 17, at midnight EDT (4 AM GMT), I started the first task, which was the first 2-hr task from June 16. When it completed, I started the second task, which was the 1-hr task on the June 16 schedule. Then, I force closed the app and waited until after 4 AM (8 AM GMT) to come back and clear the second task, so that the third task would be from the June 17 schedule. As expected, the third task was 2 hours long.

This has been 100% predictable for me.
