Current Surge times

[hamsandwich]

So the info in "help surge" says that server time is Mountain time and lists when all the surges are. But unless I'm missing something I am pretty sure it's completely wrong? Is there an updated list of when the surges are? I try to judge off the top right of the forum, but it seems to be off by an hour compared to in game time. Still works though, but I'm too dull to keep track of when all the surges are and that only helps me with the next upcoming one.

Thanks!

I can give you the surges in us central time...

Sunday is 4pm-6pm
Tuesday is 10am-12pm
Thursday is 4am-6am
Friday is 10pm-12am

That is without DLS, with DLS add an hour to everything I believe? I'm partially out of it with some after work drinking...

Thank you Andrael!

But there's still some confusion lol. Like I said the helpfile says server time is Mountain time, but I noticed the in game time says UTC (if I paid attention I would have seen that a million years ago).

I'm pacific time, so I took the helpfile times and changed them all by 7 hours to get my local time. I ended up with something strangely similar and yet terribly different than what Andrael has.

Sunday Noon-2pm
Tuesday 10am-Noon
Thursday 2am-4am
Saturday 10pm-Midnight

So some match and most don't to Andrael's times. The Thursday time I am pretty certain is correct (and it also matches Andrael's) because that's the next one. But the others are still up in the air based off what source you are pulling info from.

Please file a bug for that TSG and we'll get it fixed. The surge timer on the website should be 100% accurate. If it isn't please let us know!

[Ceridwel]

LOL tsg, wtf. I'm at work and we have tsg's and I am working way too much these days.

HELPFILE

[Mr. Forgotten]

I am playing from Alaska Pacific Standard Time and surges for me are:

Sunday from 2 p.m - 4 p.m.

Tuesday from 7 a.m. - 9 a.m.

Thursday from 2 a.m. - 4 a.m.

Friday from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.

[hamsandwich]

Mr. Forgotten those times seem to make the most logical sense. But only 2 of the 4 match up with Andreal so I must not be the only one confused. The in game help file just just be wrong, I'll file a bug in game when I get a chance.


Also the surge starts in ~30 mins but the top right of the forum says 1 hour and 30 minutes from now. So yeah it's off by an hour.


edit: so when the surge started the timer on the forum said 1 hour until surge, but then changed and now it says that it is currently the surge but that the surge lasts 3 hours long instead of two.

wow that is way off

[Mr. Forgotten]

It's probably just the help file because those are the times that I catch the surge. It hasn't changed at all for a very long time.

If all surge times could change to 8-10pm GMT every other night that would be great thanks.

Corrected surge times in HELP SURGE.

[Faelon]

Is there not a way to get the website to update those times based upon IP time zone?

Maybe I'm crazy and it's a difficult ask, just was not sure.

[Davairus]

Faelon, it does not seem entirely clear what you are asking.

[Vhrael]

Faelon - what time zone are you in?

Also, this:

It would be cool to have your forum account's time zone displayed in game once verified. Some of us are lazy and suck at math. I can barely handle day light savings.
