For the 8 years ive been around, DT have always been from 1200-0100 danish time and in the latest years 1200-1230.

Lets do abit of math:

365 days in a year of 1 hour each day = 365 hours
365 days in a year of 30mins each day = 182,5 hours

Give or take, EU players have lost around 2372,5 hours of gameplay comparred to majority of US players who is sleeping when DT.

Thats alot of ISK.

I understand your frustration - but most people work in 'daylight' hours and that means that you want 100% of your employees at the ready if there is a problem.

In the end I look at it as 'just a game' and an hour away from eve lets me do something else I probably should be doing.

This is not a proposal.

How should downtime mechanics be changed?


And you might want to keep the following in mind:

People play at different times in their respective day. Some play in the morning, some in the afternoon and some during the night.

Meh. Its not about changing the mech. but changing the time of day DT kicks in. Make it US noon instead of EU noon - just for some years.

An another whine about DT? This is gets old after about the 100th time.

The answer is no...and will always be no.

Be happy they decreased it to 30 mins...sheesh...go get a snack...make some coffee...get a drink...take a shower.

Its not gonna kill you to be offline for a measly 30 minutes...get over it.

You'd #### if it was 15 mins even then.
