The Battle Arena is a disaster for European players . It starts when you are going to bed and when you stand up at morning its all finish So i dont think this Battle Arena is a succes for European players .... For me under this condition it was the last time that i participate to the Battle Arena ..... We in Europe are living under Greenwich Time .... And not under Pacific Time ..... it was the second time that i tryed to play the Battle Arena whitout succes .
My thirth Battle Arena ...... I wake up this morning and the Battle Arena was all ready finish for me ... Left .... 3 players remaning .... BATTLE IN PROGRESS Time Remaining: 10:12:21 Players Remaining: 3 Your Score 2,831 ... So for the next Battle i dont now how to participate .....
Pretty sure it is impossible to cater to all time zones. I have seen that the BA starts at different times and I am pretty sure that is to ensure that everyone gets a good start at some time or another.
Didn't realize that Seppo. Maybe bring it up to the devs, give them your time zone and see if they can work it out. Fingers crossed for you
I always see complaints about the start time of BA but I've yet to see any new times suggested. Present some times and let's see what type of feedback they get.
Actually if I remember right it was kinda discussed in the forum and we were asked about the new times, I am EST and even for me they are not good, and only because of the sudden death feature , I don't stay up late or get up early for a game, only for my job. So since sudden death I don't even join anymore, otherwise I liked all the other new features and would have joined.
I will admit I did not read all 15 pages of posts so there could have been some times suggested somewhere along the line.
No thought given to GMT that's for sure. Sat night 10pm start to Sunday 6 am start for the knockout stages In Europe those times have been gvem the classification of the most anti social times in a working week WTG kANO
Us Europeans have moaned about that for a long time Robby, it does seem unfair and should be rotated through more different start times.
after mafia wars shut down i started playing this game and i do enjoy but just like zinga everything is geared round the usa so untill this is sorted you wont be getting a penny
can not agree with that, we get a fair amount of schedule change. for example I have 10+ hour difference in time zone yet, I get to play every event. including BA, SW and raids
I am in the US and sudden death for me is the middle of the night so I do not even join couldn't care less
the phases doesn't really matter in order to rank higher. most of the time I play 1 hour or so in BA, or until i run out of stamina, yet I always rank in top 100.
I've gotten all the BA achievements so I haven't been participating as much. BA is nothing but a clickfest and for some auto-clickerfest. Maybe once the format changes or they add some new achievements I'll get back into it.
same here but i play ba for the sake of xp, i must say Im agree with @RafeDavid it's obvious some people use autoclick bots. we call it bot arena
