Also…
Winds of Obol adornments have been rewritten to grant a flat 25% Potency for each group member who has one adorned. They can be used alongside Truespirit’s Legacy. This replaces the old buff which granted +25% potency but only to offensive spells and combat arts. The old effect frequently dropped on zoning and was the subject of numerous bug reports.
Do people like the new Shortcodes rather than all this text…
When you live in Europe you usually don’t really know what PDT, EDT, BST, CET means. But I like the new Shortcodes display.
I would prefer to have 3 flags (UK, FR, DE) followed by it’s local time (like in the text), rather than a single line with the European flag with 4 hours and letters that does not means anything for us.
You should also take into account in you Shortcode that we usually gets the updates in Europe a day after the US.
Thanks for the response. PDT and EDT are Pacific US Daylight Time and Eastern US Daylight Time. BST is British Summer Time and CET is Central Europe Time. I didn’t know they weren’t widely used. Does everyone in Europe use GMT and GMT+1?
The reason why I provide all 4 times for both US and EU servers is that some US customers play on EU servers and vice versa (especially after the ProSieben deal). US servers being down can affect EU customers. And I understand the concern about the dates. I’ll keep working to come up with something logical that works for everyone.
Well I’d recommend to not use GMT, BST or CET time for Europe servers. I’d use London time, Paris time, Berlin time like in the text version, that way we will immedially know when the maintenance will happen on our local time.
The text version is long but at least it gave us all the information we need (local date and time and duration), and we do not have to use a time converter or try to remember if we are GMT+1 or +2 due to daylight saving times.
Indeed, much easier to see a country name. Though these days I am able to use Google to search for “07:00 PDT in UK time” or “08:00 CEST in UK time” and it will tell me what the time will be in the country I am playing in without fussing over telling me which time zone that is and for me to do another conversion.
I am a US citizen living in Germany, CET is widely used by the community I deal with daily.
I love the short text
I am also wondering why they are beefing up security @ravens roost!!!! lol
Apparently good toons had no safe space for crafting if they didn’t have something in their housing…
Anybody else having problems signing into the EQ2 forums since the patch? I see recent posts by other people but I get a:
We Are Currently Undergoing Maintenance
error page when I try to sign in.
There’s a general maintenance today as well, so some logins won’t function correctly until it’s over. https://eq2wire.com/2015/08/10/daybreak-general-maintenance-tuesday-august-11-2015-7am-pt/
gmt +2 is eastern europe time.
For US players I like the shortcode.
