Hey everyone. As of 4 AM EST, the Nova server will be undergoing a wipe of all weapons. This is because weapon exploits have been fixed, and the only way to make it fully effective is by completely removing all current weaponry. As always, thanks for your patience and your dedicated testing.

USA: 1AM PDT (Los Angeles) / 2AM MDT (Denver) / 3AM CDT (Austen) / 4AM EST (Washington DC)
Europe: 8AM UTC (London) / 10AM CET (Paris) / 12PM MSD (Moscow)
Pacific: 6PM AEST (Sydney) / 5PM JST (Toyko) / 10PM HST (Honolulu)

Yessir, it would appear so. That brief downtime a few minutes ago was for the weapon wipe, so it's in effect now.

I do know what how to convert it, i have done it a million times.

I would just like to see some posts where they actually acknowledge existence of other country's, or continents for that matter;)

EST is not my time zone either, I just wanted to get the announcement out promptly, and figured EST was the most common ground. In the future I will include other time zones.

It was nothing personal, and i apologize if i offended you, but he asked and i answered.
I usually give the answer to Europeans in a form of question:

Is that 10 AM CET?

I didnt ask anything, actually.

I was trying to help you out, being as how your always asking about other times. If you already had the calc handy I dont really understand why make it an issue when it takes all of half a minute to convert any time zone.

Nope i didn't make an issue, i made a post in a form of question that gave correct time to the Europeans, and reminded the Staff they should probably make announcements more accurate... ;)

Best notice ever! Thank you for this wipe.

And Ksh87, I find your signature to be offensive to women, and a severe distraction. That is all.

If you are the type of person who is incredibly easily offended, then I suppose you would.

djolovicl, just because you said 'i didn't make an issue' doesn't make it so. The fact that you just quadruple quoted yourself for the point of showing a Staff member that he didn't read the whole thread properly would definitely be defined as making an issue.

moreover, you chose a very poor way to express your desire for the staff members to include non-EST times on posts. A good way to express this concern would have been to say "i would like it if the staff members included international timezones when posting announcements". Imagine that, pretty easy isn't it?
Your method was convoluted at best and arguably flame-baiting.

Your second mistake was insisting to ksh87 that you already knew how to convert time and do it all the time. Assuming ksh87 does not possess telepathically abilities, it was perfectly reasonable for him to post a link to a time converter considering you expressed your desire in the form a question, obviously illustrating some uncertainty. In fact, as i read this thread, and saw your question, i opened a new tab in my browser and googled 'timezone converter' as well. I'm sure that is what lunatec did as well.

The bottom line is that Ksh87, Lunatec and i were all under the impression you did not know how to convert time, or at best, were unsure about it. If you really think the staff members should include more timezones on posts, then ask them to! Don't make a round-about snide comment that confuses people, and especially don't try to rebuttal after they attempt to help you.

I post common time zones in every one of my announcements, and I put on in here too.

Now, we will stop discussing this in an announcement thread.

Is there a reason the VK and elite stun baton missing from the gungan? Is it intended or a bug? Was it caused by this wipe?

CET EST GMT, if there are no other problems be happy.
When it was necessary to wipe it had to be done

not to beat a dead horse, but isn't it supposed to be EDT instead of EST?

Audune
04-10-2009, 06:40 PM
I say post one time, and make everyone just learn how to do the conversion for themselves. Sick of people always asking for the answer to something they can figure out themselves quicker than posting a *****ing reply and waiting.

EST = Eastern Standard Time
EDT = Eastern Daylight Time

It's EDT because daylight savings is in effect.
