Players were calling out the current percentage complete in zone chat. I went around with the mob of players who were closing siege camps for awhile. It felt like Alik'r dolmens with dozens of players taking down enemies. By the time the west coast of North America went to bed the progress bar was at 100%.
And yes, most of Europe was asleep while this happened.
Actually, the rate adjustment came in right around 2pm-ish Eastern. Mid-day for most of PSNA. At least, that's around the time @ZOS_Kevin posted the announcement IIRC.
Okay. I looked at Discord and it says 2:46 PM eastern time for the post, and I should have seen it at 3 PM eastern time when my Discord channel says it made it available for me to read. So on Central European time I think that is 9 PM local time for players to hear about the rate adjustment. So Europe had some time before most of them went to bed to gain progress, and North America had all of prime time to gain progress. Better summary?Edited by Ingenon on November 13, 2025 3:59PM2 -

Oh I agree that the timing was more ideal for NA, no disputing that. NA was just gearing up for the day while EU was just approaching ther winding down.

✭✭✭✭✭I don't understand why there had to be a "winner* in the first place. What benefit is there to getting there first, other than just getting it done faster? Does the "winning" team get anything special or unique for being first?PCNA4 -

it's bragging rights. they envisioned it as friendly competition without extrinsic incentive.2
