Now is the time to end the 5 am nonsense

You did us west coasters wrong in a major way by a 12 hour shift, since you guys massively messed up at least meet In a middle ground, restart am's, and do it at 12 pm pst... Lunch for us, 5 energy for est, 5 am is absolutely rubbish for am start and you know it being based out of San Francisco

My suggestion, extend the Missions from 24 hrs to 30 hrs. Therefore, each round of AM will start 30 hrs from the start of the previous round. Every timezone will share in a little bit of the pain of an awkward start time.
This above link is easily the best solution as long as it is feasible on the back end for Kabam. Allowing everyone to effectively choose their start time and if they prefer weekend AM or weekday AM. I think this is the way to go.
BTW, might I add -- the new AM with 6 lanes is only going to exacerbate the awful AM schedule issues for most North Americans as well as alliances with a few people who are international in a primarily NA alliance.
> the new AM with 6 lanes is only going to exacerbate the awful AM schedule issues for most
This would be another benefit of a 30 hr long AM: more time to finish the harder Map 3 lanes.
And a gradual change to a middle ground would be fine in my small portion of the west coast opposed to a full 12 hour switch
I did make it sound American central to be fair but 5 pm to 5 am has been/is absurd
I make a valid point, more so than your drivel to just call me out.
This dude has basically just said it needs changing because where it used to suit him, it now doesn’t. Well, for those that used to have to start AM at 5am, it now starts at 5pm. If it meets in the middle then inevitably someone somewhere will also end up with a 5am start. There is never an ideal start, but honestly I have only ever seen Americans complain about it. Maybe you guys have the biggest region and therefore it is valid, but who knows, just saying that there are other places in the world to consider.
Now, jscrilla, shut up or say something worthwhile next time.
lmfao what on earth are you talking about? How would you even know IF most of the player base is there? Or are you just making more self centred assumptions?
In thinking about everyone, how is my mind limited? You’re seriously handicapped in the IQ department “bro”
Just checked your profile - I see you have more abuse flags than most, and in general you don’t seem to be able to make any good points. Good luck trying to make me look stupid, it will be good practise for you
No dog in this but for future reference; it's spelled P R A C T I C E
This isn't a bad idea, I don't mind a bit of a wait on rewards if it means I don't have to wake up stupid early every morning to clear my lane before AM ends.
It’s either that or Kabam can change the start time which they may but extra time would be better. Remember the last time when they gave us extra time after the AM would let us do 1hour missions? EST started at 1pm and yeah it sucked to push to be done in 10 hrs. But you know what everyone was awake in our bgs. So it seemed to work out pretty well.
If they just took away alliance energy, that would solve it all. I don't think it could be abused considering you can only run one AM per day. Alliances could start when they want and blast through them at a time best suited for them.
Typical American narrow mindedness that embarrasses me. For us, yup, it's practice. For him, it's practise. Learn that there are differences in US and British English before you go calling someone out.
He is absolutely right. There are more places than just the west coast of US. Lots more. As has been said already, it doesn't matter what time AM has fixed start, it will always be 5am in morning for someone. OP is upset because it is inconvenient for him. And it is true, it is inconvenient for many, but there are good ideas such as @tekkn1kal idea that benefits all and not just a "meet in the middle" fixed start time which still leaves many with awful start times.
As Hired_Goon said. Now, @Humpyhampster go join Jscrilla and do one.
The solution may be a longer window in which to start and complete AM - personally I think that would be fine and shouldn’t be too hard to implement due to the time inbetween AM anyway.
The other thing to consider is that no matter what time it starts for everyone, assuming we all live normal lives and don’t put ourselves out to play and we sleep at normal times for normal lengths of times, then we all end up getting the same amount of time to play overall. I guess the only snag is if it isn’t started in time then you end up wasting a couple of energy. But realistically, there is always someone who would be able to start AM, unless you have 18 members in the same timezone on the same life pattern
Humpy was right (whether it was intentional or a mistake, who knows).
For British (same as Australian English) Practice is for the noun, practise is for the verb. We don't use practise for the noun.
It will be good practice for you. <-- noun
You should practise the art of combos. <-- verb
Replace the word with another verb/noun to see which fits where.
e.g. It will be good practice for you --> it will be good revision for you. / You should learn the art of combos.
I've seen this one come up on English tests in the past, it's a common mistake.
Now, about the actual topic, it's a really tough one. It's 5am somewhere is valid. About flexible time, something I just thought of, some alliances could use it to wait and see what the other alliances have done first and then get ahead of them my going up a diff higher, it's a bit extreme though. Probably still the best idea so far and a non-issue for the majority.
Probably the best idea in the thread, lol @ the people making blind assumptions about my "selfish motives" though
Very easy way to please everyone
Sounds familiar
