We have recently got our HAAT completion time down to 5 hours. We have members stretching from European Central to Pacific West Coast times and are having trouble accommodating everyone. We started with a 12 hour zero damage with attack starting at 7:30am est but Pacific guys not happy.
If there are any international guilds out there that have solutions to accommodate everyone is appreciate some advice.
For Rancor my guild does a 24hr Theme poke (2 toons) then a FFA. We rotate the start times at 4am, 10am, 4pm, 10pm est. This ensures that no matter where you are located you have an oppurunity to attack in 50-75% of the Rancor raids launched.
For Tank we follow the same start times but we split it up in phases. So, Phase 1 starts at 4am est then is dead in 15-20 min. Phase 2 does not open till 10am est and so on for the rest of the phases.
This has worked pretty well for us and we have been using it for about 6-8 months
Is that your attack times or the start of 12 or 24 hour zero damage times?
For Rancor, it's the start of a 24 hour zero damage and then the ffa time. For tank, we do p1/p2 ffa at launch, then pause until that time the next day (to allow registration for anyone who missed) to ffa p3/p4. So it's both the attack and zero damage times.
