Djake Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Why? The servers are on East Coast, the studio is in Central. Why do you insist on posting the times as west coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasStarWars Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 because of west coast bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keta Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Why? The servers are on East Coast, the studio is in Central. Why do you insist on posting the times as west coast? They forgot to move the clocks when they moved the servers. Make the times all UTC (aka GMT) and let everyone figure it out on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorsaLindahl Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Why? The servers are on East Coast, the studio is in Central. Why do you insist on posting the times as west coast? It's because Big Daddy is in Redwood City, CA, and he's too drunk, stoned, or stupid to do the conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodesu Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yeah, it's challenging for people like me (and Eric perhaps?) with dyscalculia to work out I have to use a website dedicated to converting time zones all the time. Nothing online is ever in my country's timezone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have to use a website dedicated to converting time zones all the time. Nothing online is ever in my country's timezone I have one of those bookmarked too, though luckily for me google usually knows what I mean when I type "when is ____ in ____" West coast time is technically my country but it's not my time. Annoying that every game I've ever played has been set on that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWanderer Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The real reason is because BioWare is (was?) based in British Columbia (Pacific Timezone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quraswren Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Why? The servers are on East Coast, the studio is in Central. Why do you insist on posting the times as west coast? It's to help hide the fact bioware removed all west coast servers. This way it gives this facade there might actually be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galahard Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The real reason is because BioWare is (was?) based in British Columbia (Pacific Timezone). No, they are in Edmonton, Alberta. Honestly, let's not confuse Eric further, he at least gets the PT time right half of the time (though not the AM-PM stuff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRogue Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Probably because most companies use 2 different time zones. Especially with a broad base. It's not that hard for PT...now the whole GTC/UTC whatever those acronyms are...that's a pain. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post EricMusco Posted March 20, 2018 Dev Post Share Posted March 20, 2018 Why? The servers are on East Coast, the studio is in Central. Why do you insist on posting the times as west coast? Largely it is a legacy decision. It is pretty common when one NA timezone is used that it is Pacific. We have done it that way for quite a long while and so I feel like changing it to East or Central would just rock the boat unnecessarily. It isn't so much about where we, or our servers are located, but acting as a common timezone to use for reference. Hope that makes sense. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
