For some reason, it looks like the old poll was having some trouble. 

 

From the previous poll, it's clear that Sunday had the most votes, and out of those Sunday Morning is the most popular. To get a feel for the times the community would like to get TE scheduled at, I am posting this up. We'll run the poll until the beginning of maintenance on Wednesday. 

 

Time is Pacific Daylight Time (UTC -7)

 

We're going to be running WoE: TE this Sunday at 10am-11am for a trial run "soft launch". The poll will run until next Tuesday so people have more time to vote once they've actually experienced TE.

I'd like to request when the voting is done, that an IP comparison of the voters be done and duplicate votes be removed.

 

Woe is srs bznz apparently, so its not beyond people to consider cheating for something that would favor them.

Please extend it a week. 24 hours is not enough notice and considering how many times the poll had to be redone :/

And considering it's something sorta kinda really important like a fixed WoE time, WoE being half the reason many players even log on anymore, and TE is anticipated/hyped so heavily it's probably more commercially viable than WoE1 atm to a wider range of players.

 

This isn't a Lucky Box or "where should I go for Tiki" poll or something 

 

Question! If a greater proportion of votes go toward various evening times (not all voting for the same time, but in that general area) but a specific morning time has more votes than any specific evening time, will it go to morning or evening?

The times are pretty varied, so even if morning gets more votes than evening (or vice versa), it should be the time that gets voted in.

 

 

I'm not even sure I'll participate if its evening, but I can 100% guarantee I wont participate if its early morning. I know a few other people in game who have said they wont play if its morning either. Morning is a bad time imo.

i prefer the morning 8am too. i also would like a 2 hour woe

It would also be hilarious if you posted who voted multiple times on the front page like you had done previously.

[Sapphic]

Delaying TE one more week to get this figured out won't be that bad. You guys can fix the jump event and GH instead! (payon caves as first jump instead of something nicer like boas 2 south of payon, no warp to savages, zombies/rays spawning in walls/tables).

What? I'm actually thoroughly confused with your statement.

 

I dont recall ever posting people who vote multiple times (or anything like that) on any topic. O.o

 

 

Link it and refresh my memory?

You also know then that in the world there are a lot of different timezones. So morning for you = afternoon/evening for someone else, evening for you = night/really late night for someone else.

 

At the moment i can only attend Woe 2.0 cause is on Saturday and is 1-3am (quite late uh ?). Can't do woe 1.0 cause it's on wednesday and with work i can't really go bed so late.

 

I really would like to avoid another 2-3-4am woe only cause Americans consider morning or afternoon "too early".

No matter which time is chosen, it's clear that half the community is not going to participate. It's just a matter of which half is going to be excluded.

[belld1711]

Why not just make it 24 hours? Not popular, I'm sure. But at least more people would be able to participate.

[ZeroTigress]

... Please tell me you're kidding.

[belld1711]

See? I told ya it wouldn't be a popular idea.

[Xellie]

If WoE:TE was 24 hours then how would one determine a winner?

 

also sunday sucks it messes with the classic woe

[AlmrOfAtlas]

A day of WoE?

 

Not sure if crazy or genius. It'd very much favour the players in timezones active towards the end of the 24 hour period though. Maybe a points-based system could work?

 

I'd kinda like to see a one-off event following those rules!

I meant if Oda or Campitor did like they had done on the previous WoE Thread.

[Joshiji]

So who exactly would an early morning woe benefit? It's clearly not anyone in the US. I'm guessing Asia?

Actually, this update is for renewal players so it works out.

I wouldn't mind morning if it was 11 am. But setting an alarm for 7:30 am just to supply is a little painful. Especially on the weekends.

You should make the time for 7-8pm!

u take some, u give some. 7:30am is absolutely doable, unlike in the middle of the day for a lot of people in asia.(if i have to guess, i would say nearly half of the people on the server are from asia)
