Does it ever quake mid week?

Someone probably mentioned it already, but a side effect of quakes exclusively in US prime time is to gather all player agreement rolls and 24h mobs out of reach of non US players.
Talking about stuff like ring 8, shady, drusilla all being at 2am CEST, and whenever they start to slide into a feasible time they get pushed back by another quake.

So you're saying no longer being bound to middle of the night European earthquakes is going to be another Brexit dividend? BREXIT! BREXIT!

I'm starting to feel for Bladefrenzy.. Obviously Fangry + Mcafx are the heroes in this particular incident, but I (eurotrash) can feel the frustration about geographical discrimination and being locked out of quests for months. Kozzalym, DS, Ring roll..

Sure quakes are a treat and all. I believe it's mostly to have people log in at this point. XP bonus weeks would be more beneficial overall because it wouldn't factor in the location you live in. Anyway sucks, GL at 24h spawns @murican pals

Edit: Adding huge variances to 24h spawns would at least provide some fairness, even though it would require a solid pair of poop socks then!

It's swings and roundabouts. Americans get more quakes, and better population for things that need it (favours raiding), Euros have less competed camps (better xp / farming).

It's true that XP camps and cash camps are more often open in euro primetime than in US primetime. I guess we euros should just farm cash and buy MQs, encouraging farm crews to treat ppl like shit! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On a serious note: Yeah life is not fair, but my point is that it is pretty disheartening if you are constantly locked out of quests. P99 is just a game anyway but we all waste our lives on it so might as well give everyone the opportunity to work on their quests imo. Raid targets have 16hr variance anyway so spawn times will cover most time zones by default and the issue is not really present there. Sure you might miss all quakes for a year (which happened to basically every european), but at least you can raid the following weeks due to spawn variances [You must be logged in to view images.

Translated: sorry you don't get ring8, regal band of bathezid, spirit wracked cord, strength of elements etc. But you can farm abother fungi, yay

The majority of patches were done by 3pm EST midweek.

This was classic at least.

Ha! So you're saying euro quakes would be true classic? 9pm sounds great to me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My theory is that the earthquakes aren't random because the staff need support people online when they happen. Support people don't play on Euro time, ergo we don't get Euro quakes.

If my theory is correct, there's a very simple solution: a European needs to volunteer to be a staff member [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

FYI CEST is 9 ish hours ahead of PST. It's not a different universe or anything.
