Well, this has been a problem for me since ive had school starting back. I havent played ina trial in over a month. thnx gfo for trying to fix this problem. It seems like everyone has about voted for the same time as i have.. and this is just a idea.. would it be a bad idea to have 2 trials a day and just 1 bye for the winner of each trial.. I like that idea better.

Just do one day at 6-9 and the other day noon-2 so everyone can play i think and you dont need master invitation only i dont like the idea. I think its the best solution if there would be to many players in the masters if there a two a day. But i also think it would be great Smile

Or how the one above said thats also good

6pm EST would be best for most americans in work/school. If you look at the geo visitor thingy it looks like most visitors are from the eastern timezone. The current trial times definitly have to be changed though... During the week many trials start at like 1-2pm est and the 6pm trials are on Friday... This really makes no sense.

Noon EST and 2pm EST are the best times for me. They start at 5pm and 7pm so they don't finish that late like the t2 trial yesterday which started at 11pm!! Most people don't want to stay awake the whole night and for Europeans I'm in GMT so for the eastern countries they start even later. That's why I think that a reasonable part of the trials should be at either non EST or 2pm EST.

I thought people wanted trials at 6pm EST. that's 11pm GMT.

However, now there are trials at 8pm EST. That's 1 AM here and, obv, I'm not going to play a trial at 1 AM. That sucks!

Why have you changed the trials hour? I've never seen a trial at 8pm EST! And in the eastern countries they must start like 3 AM or something... I can imagine them waking up and seeing a trial coming to an end! Shocked

I don't like trials being at 6pm, but 8pm that's even worse! Can someone do anything about this? tnx

I think it sucks that 6pm had over 30 more votes than anything(2nd place was 12pm eastern), but yet they almost NEVER run trials around that time. i work from 7am to 5pm eastern 10 hrs a day, and usually miss every single trial all week. At least one at 6pm during the weekdays would be nice, please?

I think the real problem is that every trial is the same time. We as players are spread around the world. Even if we do pick a time, not every trial should be at that time. For example, for the last few weeks almost every weekday trial has been at 4EST, or 1PST for me. I have a job and can't play. But I know that there are people who can play in those trials. The solution is so simple. Leave some of those, but put some other day's trials at other times. A long time ago the trial times on here were very random, and it was awesome because no matter where you lived you got to play in one eventually. But with the rigid, all weekday trials at one time plan, no matter what you do, some people are going to get shafted.

This

Right now it is essentially impossible to play a weekday trial on the West coast. We get 11AM and 1PM. Mix up the times people, please.
