Blessing timers and Daylight Savings

**Snakespeare** · 11-02-2012, 01:39 PM

To all fellow players, no matter what else, subtract an hour from your expected blessing times this Sunday just to be sure. No matter how they deal with it, if you subtract an hour it should be OK. Then when you log in on Sunday the clock should be right. I expect the Come Back Tomorrow time on Saturday will be AHEAD by an hour until midnight on the east coast.

To devs, please consider pushing the pinch time out an extra hour for those of us who forget to "fall back."

So, the question: How will STS deal with daylight savings and blessings? They can't make them 25 hours, or else they will have to make them 23 hours next spring. The clock on the Blessing page will tell us when to come back, but will it be accurate? It will surely become accurate whenever Amazon or STS (not sure which) sets the server clock. Both servers are in time zones that use DLS.

Personally, I am going to collect Saturday, skip Sunday, and reset my timers on Monday morning. But I just happen to be lucky because Saturday is my 5th day.

Don't you have 6 hour span to receive your daily blessing anyway? So it shouldn't really cause a problem.

Yes, a 5 hour and 50 minute pinch time.

I am asking devs to push it to 6 hours 50 minutes for Sunday. See?

But if they don't everyone in the US should remember, subtract an hour. On Saturday it will say come back tomorrow at (for instance) 3 o'clock, but that really means 2 o'clock. Subtract an hour.

So, it is Sunday morning and as I expected, the "return at" time was adjusted sometime in the night to show an hour earlier. I doubt they took my suggestion about adding an hour to the Pinch time. This thread had no traction.

U.S. players, just remember, the pick up time is an hour earlier today in most parts of the United States.

The cool thing about it is that we get to turn our timers back if they drifted too far forward. Those who do daily blessing know just what I mean.
