Hello folks,

Kusanagi asked me to create a poll for the boss timers and mentioned that they may change in the coming days based on the votes. Therefore, I am creating this forum thread. You can vote for one of the five options listed above or if you prefer the current timers, you can choose the fifth option.

Here's a brief explanation about the abbreviations:

  • MSK - Moscow Time Zone (Permanently on standard/winter time)
  • CST - China Standard Time Zone (Permanently on standard time) (Beijing GMT +8)
  • CET - Central European Time Zone (Changes between winter and summer time)
  • WET - Western European Time Zone (Changes between winter and summer time)
  • KRK - Kraken / Кракен
  • BD - Black Dragon / Ксанатос
  • Chary - Charybdis / Калидис
  • Ganth - Garden Anthalon / Анталлон в садах матери
  • Halcy - Halcyona / Даскшир
  • Hasla - Hasla / Хазира

Red - Central European Time Zone
Orange - China Standard Time Zone
Blue - Western European Time Zone
Green - Moscow Time Zone

This thread aims to facilitate discussions among all players to find the most fair time zone. The server is an EU server, but considering the presence of Chinese players, an option has also been included for their participation. The goal is to ensure that, for example, players in Ireland or Portugal can fairly participate in events alongside players in St. Petersburg or Beijing.
Considering past patches as examples, such as the player nation patch (The Heaven vs. Just Quality), having boss timers set to 2 hours helps keep PvP active and sustains the presence of content in the game.

If we vote the fifth option, which is the current timers, it seems impossible for players from Central European countries like Germany and Western European countries like Ireland to participate in Kraken events. This is because Russia permanently applies standard time, meaning that for a player connecting from the United Kingdom or Ireland, it results in an event being 3 hours (in winter time) earlier. For players connecting from Germany or the Netherlands, it's 2 hours (in winter time) earlier. This sets the Kraken event times at 16:30 for Central European countries (like the Netherlands, France and Germany) and 15:30 for countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland and Portugal. The Sunday morning Kraken would be at 8:30 and 7:30, respectively. People are likely to be working at these times except Sundays, which will reduce participation in PvP.

Option 3 :

Option 4:

Option 5:

Leave it as it is stated in 9.0 Patch Notes


In the future, we can reduce boss timers to 1h 30 minutes instead of 2 hours after Battle of Mistmerrow Instance is released and add that instance after the boss despawns so the day pretty much starts with halcy, bosses and then ends up with Mistmerrow. (This can be discussed later whenever it is released)


The voting will remain open for two weeks. If there is a request from the administration or if the discussion extends, it may be extended.


I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this topic and I believe that together with the administration, we can make the server even better.

黄金(除了周三)凌晨一点(指半夜场)
黄金(周四)凌晨二十四点三十
攻城(周四)凌晨四点

黑龙(周三周六)凌晨四点三十
黑龙(周六)晚上十点三十
克拉肯(周三周六)凌晨四点三十

卡里迪斯(周一)凌晨四点

选项2:
除了攻城,所有凌晨四点推迟至凌晨五点
选项3:
将克拉肯和黑龙合并在一天内
选项4:
增加更多的卡里迪斯,减少黑龙和克拉肯
选项5:
不做更改
周三周五凌晨两点三十和三点三十

除了BOSS,在所有选项里,主线翡翠谷征兆也被从凌晨两点全部推迟至凌晨四点
我的建议是将BOSS推迟至凌晨四点的同时,在下午四点增加额外的BOSS用来平衡,否则这只是在简单的排除中国玩家。
周一至周五是工作日,我很好奇谁能够在工作日的凌晨四点参与BOSS?😥
中国人不会参与此类带有明显不公平的投票,如果一定要选择一个选项,我觉得让莫斯科时间的人减少睡眠,去熬夜陪西欧时间的人参与PVP是一个不错的选择

Well another timer change another reminder..
Timer changes don't help with pvp. Didn't help in NA, players still complain there and they are still trying to revert the set timers there as well. Same people will show up at that timezone and deny the others as well. I won't simply show up for early prime because i would be at my office and go out after, it's as simple as that. Prime EU times should remain prime EU times without being tampered, because what else are we going to do if our actual prime time is empty? I would rather start playing something else. If a lot of people want Chinese timers, the admins can consider creating a Chinese server which we suggested many times and they denied it.
Here are the actual arguments;

I) Timezone changes have no intention of adding more pvp, but handicapping the other side to have less people present during prime
Past week Saturday west had around 195-200 against east, east was maybe around 130. During the current set weird timer, only half of that will be present but West will have the bigger advantage anyway. However, west already has a big number advantage, why is this even considered since it's the same group of people that will just be there earlier while im at work i guess?

II) EU/RU Primes already were being contested by asian timezone players
I remember very well that west asian timezone players contested us mid week too with over 100 people for months (Speaking about 7/8 months ago), but majority of them don't show up because there isn't guaranteed loot. That's not even subjective, it's just how things are with some players, if there are no rewards, they are not coming to help you. You can take a look at west halcies where everyone goes afk instead of pvping, thats just how west is in general. The timer people keep spamming about is not suggested for more pvp, it's suggested for more personal benefit/rewards by people who don't really care about pvp

III) No rewards for attending pvp
Timezone isn't the problem, the problem is that people don't recieve rewards when they are denied, and the winning side gets the boss loot. So naturally, people who lose resort to either a) not showing up or b) spamming the admin for timer changes (Which is what happened here i guess with the timer change)
People could suggest adding extra rewards to the quest or having it being auto completed from a further range, something in correspondance to halcy rewards
