Z8 Unfair to Non-USA countries???

gunyoyo7 · February 2011

OK i was going for the "Every hero gets a second chance" ribbon and i just done the first requirement, which is " get 100 kills with any gun and any mode excpt MM and HM" so i done. But i done it at like 8:00 pm UK time (England) and i was wondering it would be unfair if i dont get the requirement because its already saturday in america? but is that how it works or does it depend on the day of ur country??

The new launcher has the server time on it -.- before you turn on the game, you can see what time it is over here where the server is. Z8 isn't being unfair to anyone. It's right there for everyone to see

gunyoyo7 · February 2011

but isnt it still unfair to some countries if they have school and the day ends after they come from school xD.

It would be more fair if they made it the day of the country the player is in.

Im confused... 8PM is still 3PM EST...

What are you asking here?

I think he is saying that the time change is not fair for the ribbon, since there is a huge time difference, right now it says its 4:58 in Canada where the main server is while here its barely 1:58
It is really unfair, like today (yesterday now) I wasn't able to complete the requirements for the ribbon since I got home at 9:30 which would give me more than enough time to get the 20 kills I was missing, but since it runs on the Canadian main server the event was already over I wasn't able to complete the event so I'm not getting the Hero Mode ribbon.
This timezone problem needs to be addressed, I usually get home at 8pm which is already 11pm in the Canadian server's location this gives me almost no time to complete any event.
The events should run at different time zones (just a suggestion) so it is convenient for the players living in different parts of the world, I'm sick of not being able to complete an event and get the prize since I have about 3 less hours than a large cuantity of the CF commmunity in order to attempt to complete the event requirement.

Its hardly a problem of Z8's

Its not their fault you live in a different timezone so you cant do the mission

I adapt my gametime around my life and server time. For example the event today started at 5am for me but I couldnt start until 5pm when I get home from University. Even then I have other things to do such as do my school work, go out with mates and eat.

I often find myself not be able to start playing until around 11pm-1am my time and then I still got to sleep..

Its matter of making time to play the game... not the game fitting your schedule.
Events will always go by EST.. I dont even think massive corporations do timezone specific events... for example, Treyarch recently had a double XP weekend for Black Ops which goes by PST and ended 8am my time.

Yea I understand that, it's really not their problem. I'm just mad because I won't get the Hero Mode ribbon >_>
Just like you I get home late, I live GMT-8 so it's 3 hours earlier than the Canadian server. I get home at 9 mostly because I hang out after school, I could easily just stop doing that like before and play 24/7 (used to ditch school to play O.o) but I prefer my life over the game, the only thing I want is that m4a1 crystal from the ribbons and since I've missed so many events my chances are lowering, hopefully future ribbons will be acquired through hard work and not for an event.

Life > Games

M4-CC is pointless... you dont actually need it and all it serves for is something stupid to look at..

The M4-c is good enough... Even the regular M4 is good enough

lonerspain · February 2011

I'm a GM'er as you may have noticed, I don't really like spending money on games since it's not really a necessity and I suck at surveys (didn't get the 200zp survey....yes the 200zp survey), I'm just sad at fulfilling the requirements and applications :l
So I was/am looking forward to getting that gun, the only reason is that it's silenced.

firomgerhbdy · February 2011

wowe really unfair i think

FeMajma · February 2011

he's right!
with the U.S. in my country we have 6 hours difference
it's huge

D_Phoenix · February 2011

I live in Perth so I have no problems getting the ribbon because

1) The event is on weekends which is good because I hardly have the time to play CF on weekdays.
2) The time when missions reset for me is at 1pm.:p

Lt_B0mB · February 2011

I had that worry too. Then I googled USA time and date. probplem solved.

DatEm0tioN · February 2011

what teh hell? you live in the UK therefore you're time zone is GMT which is 5 hours ahead of canada, therefore at 8pm in the uk, it was 3pm in canada...

Smagjus · February 2011

Strange thread...

St4Ydown · February 2011

Its not z8's fault, its the time zones fault!

imChanyeol · February 2011

Im really confused
Anyways,I live in Toronto,no need to worry about the time xD

Athrun666 · February 2011

it's called NA-Crossfire for a reason not Tr-Crossfire they set the time based on USA and Canada time zones if it was Tr or so on it would be based on your guys time. maybe try playing China CF they ahead of us anyway in patches and will help us as well by not having people with 150 to 300 ping coming in a room with 30-80 pings.

thank you

the event ran for 24 hours, regardless of where you live, that means you had at least a couple of hours of free time to do it.

assuming you use the same 24 hour day I do.

gunyoyo7 · February 2011

My Mistake..

ok guys i sort of messed up and im confused too, ok so my 100 kills did count i got confused with the timezones but anyways sort of a half useless thread lol.

well said. The events are also posted a day ahead so people know it's coming. Every one has 24 hours.

sounds fair to me
