Please respond to the numerous posts about the daylight savings time problem. I see where it is a known issue as you had a moderator close a thread because a couple of people were acting like children. Would've been nice if the moderator would have said something about it before closing the thread, even "this issue has been passed along to the dev team" is better than just closing the thread without saying anything about the topic at hand.
Use the force Luke.... and get rid of that stupid musket.

I like it for arena. The only thing I find annoying is having to wait until 10 pm at night to take advantage of the energy refresh before going to bed.
I thought this was the official forum? Where is this other one to which you refer?
Reddit because the dev on there is more active.
I haven't seen a response from a dev on this forum about this
Why is 10pm too late for an energy refresh? Aside from young players who may have a bedtime, later is likely better for most people. I'm usually not done with work until 8ish, then have dinner and hang out with my daughter till she goes to bed. Likewise, moving the arena time and afternoon bonus from 6pm to 7pm is likely better for anyone who commutes from work... from 5-6pm, many people are likely to be in the car and unable to log in to maintain their arena position. The one that I would think would be annoying would be the noon bonus changing to 1pm. If you work in an office, it's harder to log in during work hours than at lunchtime, though it only takes a few seconds to do.
Personally, I don't like the daily reset having moved from 12am to 1am. Since I started playing in December, I usually play the game at midnight soon after the reset to relax before going to bed. I'd play for about an hour on each of my accounts, finishing up around 2am. I'm not generally going to stay up until 3 or later on a work night to play, which means instead changing my schedule to play in the evening. The problem with this is that it puts a 'cap' on finishing everything. If I don't have time to start playing until 10:30 or 11pm, I'm not going to get through my various farming, GW, etc. before the counter resets. Will take some creative scheduling to find something that works. For example, doing farming in the late evening, then playing GW right after reset, since that is usually the most variable in terms of the time needed to do it.
I guess the thing is that everyone's schedule is different. for you, 10pm seems to be an issue, but as I pointed out, it's better for me and probably for other people. The annoying thing is changing it. Nothing else in life doesn't adjust to DST, and while we can argue whether DST makes sense, it's an expected behavior that something that happens at 6pm happens at 6pm regardless of whether we're observing DST or not.
I did close one thread at the request of the OP. (As was his right to request) No explanation was needed.
Btw. Discussion of moderation is against TOS. As is starting *another* thread when there are "numerous posts" (your words)
Try to give people a break rather than just deciding to rant.
