Time Zones and event posts

Please post reference time zones for each server. Is BigPoint in CET, UTC +1?
Relevant posts for Agathon would be in EST, UTC -5.

 

All servers are working on UTC ... it is a worldwide standard.
The reason why the events are happening in different time on different servers is because of the different time zones ... they are setting the starting times for each server so they can match their "peak time" based on their geographical location.

 

Yup.
Someone at DSO once knew Tegan was Pacific Standard Time, PST, but I think he moved on.
The Central Time Zone and Daylight Savings Times make it even more interesting.

 

yes agathon -5 hour difference

 

+1 -5 => 6 ??

 

i watched twitch at 11:30am they said it started at 4:40 pm their time lol so idk,,give or take

 

That is your local time ... not the server's time.

I am on CET ... ATM it is 02:00 CET ... and because we know CET is UTC+1 ... that means ATM it is 01:00 UTC

for example :

this means that DoE starts in 5pm (17:00) UTC ... now convert UTC to your local time.

 

Utc 5pm (17:00) = 12pm eastern standard time.
Cet 5pm = 11:00am Est
5:00 pm CET UTC +1 = 12pm Est
twitch was their time 4:30pm CET UTC +1,my time was 11:30 am EST.
is this right?

 

If 5pm UTC = 12pm Eastern Standard Time
then 6pm (18:00) CET = 12pm (12:00) EST
+1 hour difference between UTC and CET ... and -5 hours difference between UTC and EST ... is equal to 6 hours difference between EST and CET.

13:00 CET
12:00 UTC
07:00 EST

or

Twitch Time
16:30 CET
15:30 UTC
10:30 EST

 

i always thought it was 6 hours diff,but was odd when it was 5 a few times. thx

 

Daylight Saving Time ... maybe? http://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/usa/washington-dc?year=2015

 

Free internet services take the calculations out of converting for daylight savings times and individual time zones.
I like http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock because it is simple. Plug in locations, read the local time.
