The confusion over timers shows that Lost Ark players cannot do simple math

Time zones are not difficult to comprehend. Nor should it be difficult to mentally adjust for the timers in the game and understand what you need to do.

Some players are saying that the game will die because of the timer bug. Some are threatening to quit because of the timers. I think this would be a net benefit because if you can’t add one or subtract one mentally in your head it’ll do us all a favor if you quit.

Tbh, while I wouldn’t word many things like you do and I nowhere read such strong feelings about timers, I agree a bit.

This might be because living in the UK and playing on EU servers (They’re mostly in Frankfurt/DE) means that local time and server time is always offset by an hour and I am used to it.

In sea zone chat, I have seen multiple players threatening to quit because of the timer bug and multiple players unable to comprehend how to adjust for the timer, stating outright falsehoods like asserting that the timer is 2 hours behind (they are not). This has happened numerous times today. All these leads us to the conclusion that players cannot, in fact, do simple math and throw temper tantrums like kids when they fail to add 1 mentally in their heads.

So, the programmers at AGS, getting paid with benefits probably $100,000 a year or more, can’t solve it either? You blame the players for being confused about the in-game timer not matching the event timer…I’ll blame the people getting paid to do simple math/programming.

It’s New World all over again.

100% agree it is the dev teams job to fix this issue. but they fixed it 2x already they said.

It is the programmers’ fault but anyone who can’t handle the bug requires remedial school.

if you go to a fine dining restauraunt and you get served undercooked chicken, and the chef comes and say “just microwave it you’ll be fine”, do you go microwave it? cuz this is what you’re suggesting people do

No, this is different because some people don’t even know how to operate a microwave in your analogy.

regardless, they shouldn’t need to use a microwave in the first place no?

Sure. The blame lies with Amazon. But this drama also reveals that the players can’t do simple math.

Bruv, I live in Germany and even our time is wrong, since launch. We have like -1 hour. We where iterated the first day/time and that all. :smiley:

that is hardly a secret, we all know the average na player don’t know what is 5-4

for whoever reviews this, I accidently flagged Elyndrias post. I did NOT mean to and i have no idea how to remove it

do you think i want do math when i play a game and relax ? No i won’t.

Our ingame calender (german client) is sometimes one weekday ahead and compass is showing wrong islands. It was fixed again with last patch, but we will see if it’s permanent this time.

It happens because our calendar starts with monday, when en clients start with sunday.
