Realistic time for daily rewards

So the daily rewards an the NA server resets at either 7pm or 8pm EST depending on daylight savings time. Why is the reset in the middle of prime time? This doesn't make any sense. I have missed daily log in because I played earlier in the day on one day and later in the day on the next day but not counted as logging in each day when I clearly did. Writs are reset at some point at night so I see that it can be done. How about this patch you set it to a time of day that makes sense.

✭✭✭✭✭Odd how the daily rewards for me on PC NA reset around midnight Eastern time (and eastern time makes sense for multiple reasons). I guess you are living in Alaska to have the daily reset occur that early.0 -

daily login rewards reset at 8pm eastern time. daily quests reset at 2 am eastern time. so I'm not sure which rewards or which eastern time you are talking about TBH.
as to why daily login rewards reset when they do - its because they reset at midnight GMT. which makes sense in a way as GMT is the base time zone and all the others are +/- however many hours. (so EST is -4 GMT or 4 hours behind.. which makes it 8pm)
what doesn't make sense to me is why we have so many different reset timers instead of everything resetting at the same time.dirty worthless casual.

That is exactly what I am getting at. Obviously, they can have a reset timer anytime they want. So, why is the daily login reward timer set to GMT which is horrible for EST.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I dont see the problem.
You have a 24 hour period to get those rewards.
Whether the reset is at 7 PM or midnight, you still have 24 hours to get those rewards.
I am EST and I usually dont have any problem getting each day's rewards unless for some reason I choose not to play at all that day.
Your life/play schedule isnt ZoS's fault or concern.
They also made the conscious effort to put the better rewards toward the middle of the month so if you choose or cant play a few days, you dont miss out on those. Most of the stuff the end is usually some gold, AP, or tel var in a small enough amount that its not really a big deal if you happen to miss them because you can just get that easily in normal play where those are gained.
I do agree however that I wish every reset timer reset at the same time every day just to make it easier to remember when things reset rather than having to have an addon or some other means to track that.

No matter which reset timer they choose, someone will find it horrible because it doesn't match up with their play time very well.0 -

I think that the struggle here is to not have all of the "once per day" things reset at the same time. Having them at different times spreads out any performance issues that come from the reset.
I also find it a little annoying that the daily rewards reset at 7pm EST, 8pm EDT, rather than some time in the middle of the night while I an asleep. Even though I normally play every day, I don't always play in the 24 hr block of time between daily reward post times. Then, I remember that these are just daily rewards and, aside from one reward that comes 21 days into the month, the rewards are not all that important.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus
