The mission was appearing earlier today. I just won a battle in Okt Rev ship and noticed that no container was won. When I checked the Challenges it was gone. Is this a bug or did they remove it too early? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Leading Zero in 0720 is the giveaway that it's a 24-hour time basis. When you see the leading zero, ALWAYS think 0720 equal Oh Seven-Hundred Twenty Hours. I would think after 5207 battles and 447 posts in this forum, that this would have been seen many times by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could've gotten up at 0200 (that's 2 AM ET) and won one if you wanted... I am upset they scheduled an update today at 0600 (6 AM ET) so you lost 1:30 (one hour & thirty minutes) of crimson crate win time... Would've gone nice with my morning coffee... Oh well.

1,251 [BKSHD] MidnightShamalan Members 2,207 posts 6,235 battles Report post #11 Posted October 25, 2017 i don't remember a single mission or event that didn't end at that exact time in the morning. it's a 24 hour clock. it doesn't say PM. it says PT (pacific time) and ET (eastern [US] time). this shouldn't be a surprise to someone with over 5k battles. this is how they've always done it.

We can do our own local conversions if we so desire wish. Hell, if you aren't in the ET time zone, you still gotta do a conversion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

273 [AAYC] Siegewolf Beta Testers 791 posts 18,189 battles Report post #15 Posted October 25, 2017 They have always ended events in the mornings. Nothing new here. Also since this is a Belarussian company the use the 24 hour clock (as many have said). Given that many of their past communications with the NA community have been through cut-and-paste Google translate I can understand the confusion at times. This notice wasn't too bad they just needed to add a AM PM for all those folks who never served and got confused :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5,912 [CNO] Soshi_Sone Members 7,450 posts 23,087 battles Report post #16 Posted October 25, 2017 Not just a 24 hour clock...but a 24 hour UTC clock. UTC is the same everywhere on the earth. Russia....Europe....US (east coast...west coast)...Brazil, Mexico...Canada....Japan...Belarus...same time EVERYWHERE!!!! That won't change the need for WG to pick an appropriate UTC time for the region in question. If WG wishes an update to occur in the morning on the NA server, they would simply choose a UTC time that corresponds to morning for regions serviced by that server. We can convert from UTC to our local time if necessary. Again, we already perform a mental conversion if the time used by WG isn't our time zone (e.g., California users must convert ET to PT), so we're already adept at doing these conversion.
