The slight advantage of being in the East Coast

Everybody tries to get to the best position possible in Arena by 6pm local time, right?

It's 6pm first in the East Coast, then Central, Mountain, Pacific (for the US).

So all the East Coasters play arena at 5pm local and push the rest down. An hour later, all the Central guys do the same, and push the rest down. By the time the West Coast guys open up arena at their 5pm, their rankings are demolished!

I bet all they guys complaining that they went from top 10 to past 100 in one day are west coasters...

Saves East Coasters a 50 crystal refresh for the second five matches, I guess...

We only got to deal with western europeans, but that gives us a solid 5 hour window of relative little arena activity.

  • It evens out, as you pointed out all the time zones east of you are done for the day so you probably have less people trying to snipe you.

    That being said I wish they separated the PVP servers and named them, and let you join whatever one you choose.

    I'm not sure there's a difference. I'm west coast and have been #2 three days in a row now because you easterners are done and aren't busy hitting me while I climb.

  • What do you mean by "you easterners"? Aren't we all American? :'( Seriously, though, I've never noticed too much of a discrepancy, either. Then again, I don't commit too much to arena, and wouldn't take notice anyway as a consequence.

    Do they have internet for you to actually play? Ah, heck with it. If you're living in Fiji then you've got better things to do anyway! :p

  • I mean I guess it's true that you might move more your road to win at your 6 PM slot is a heckuva lot easier. There are usually 5-6 active 21k+ 60 players including at least one whale trying to get the #1 slot at 6 PM ET on my shard. I bet there is one guy from Newfoundland on our server laughing his butt off as he moves up without competing against any snipers.

  • I live in New Zealand. We only share our time zone with the eastern tip of Russia and a few Pacific Island countries.

    So I guess I have one of the easiest timezones to play in.

    I'm on the 8th or 9th day in a row at #1 in arena for me, Australian EST, I guess that I must be the only Aussie on my server as I see like almost zero activity near 6pm local. No complaints about that when I receive the arena award hehe.
