Hi there, 

Is it possible to ask someone to not be impacted by winter hour?
Just wondering...

Thx!

Just for clarity.

Are you asking if there is a way in the background, to automatically change the times when the clocks go forward and back?

Hello,

If you want to change that you should send the suggestion to the European Union, we can’t change how the DST system works.

Sorry, certainly badly initially asked (beginner here) so I've now checked the league setup as league owner and I see we may change the league schedule but with effect as from the next season only. Coud be nice if we could substantially reduce that delay (to 1 race for ex.)
Wdyt?

The "next season" changes are only for race days. Example... Your league currently does not race on a Saturday. If the league members decided they wanted to race all 7 days a week you would check the Saturday tick box but the revised schedule would not start until next season.

Race start time, race distance (25% / 50% / 75% / 100%) and race speed (1.0x / 1.5x / 2.0x) take effect the first race >24hours after you make the change. For an every day league this means that changes to race time, distance or speed will take effect in the current season, the race after next.

What a wrong and rude way to answer ... sure you can do something, like all the other apps / programs / games that automatically update that exist in the world, let's just say that either you don't know how to do it or you don't want to do it ... but honestly the filters don't work either, so much better to do nothing. 😒

Don’t agree with you on this one Gaetano, DST clock change doesn’t happen in every country. Those who move clocks don’t move it at the same time (example EU vs usa) So it would be impossible to fix this for every player.


I do agree josé is wrong though, this is a global thing, not just EU

Screw you! (Joking) It's better to send to Association of Southeast Asian Nations!

Dear friend, you don't have to update "every player", this is because each player chooses the time zone (you can see it in the settings), it would be enough to take that value into consideration, as all other games / programs / apps do.
However the players should not be updated, but the leagues, which carry a flag and therefore have their own time zone which should update automatically.

Yes, it's a tedious job to do, but it's those details that make an app / program / game better.

Giving the devs a hard time over auto DST updates is a bit harsh, if they implemented it there would be complaints from the leagues who don't want to change their race times. Some leagues have a British host but leave the race time alone when clocks change to accommodate other nationalities in their league.

I agree with the criticism of league search but race timing is just a simple update to settings which the majority of league hosts understand.

Hello,

That’s not hard to do, it would take less than 30 minutes to introduce that. There’re international leagues, imagine that we change the race hour for a league where there are players from Australia, Indonesia, Pakistan and Argentina. How upset those managers would be?

I see daily topics asking for more responsibilities for league host, that’s one of them and it’s being neglected unfortunately by some league hosts. We’re helping repeating those races when according to the current rules race rerun are only approved due to server or technical issues.

My answer wasn’t rude, European Union Parliament approves to stop this silly DST system years ago and still it isn’t introduced.

You’re misunderstand what other apps do, they just change the clock, and it isn’t the app, it’s your device itself. On an worldwide game that isn’t possible.

I hope you reconsider your attitude against me, we’re on the same boat.

Yeah my league's fix to the problem is basically the same as thing, still doesn't change the fact that I race an hour later for a week. I feel like this way is currently the best way to deal with DST and letting leagues change the time when/if they want to.

It is such a simple job that many forget to do, consequently many have requested a repetition of the race, increasing the work of the moderators, canceling races by losing a day and thus invalidating the hof, which "they" themselves have decided to base on how many races can be done in a month ... all this confirms the beautiful chaos that is going on ...
Then I'm sorry to always seem too critical, presumptuous or arrogant, but I loved this game, but unfortunately the choices made in recent years have saddened me a lot ...
However this is the suggestions section, so the suggestion can be accepted or not ...

I did not understand your example José, the championship has a flag and therefore it can have the time zone or not, the championship should change time based on that flag, then the players who participate in that championship will adapt, easy. They would still adapt if the administrator changed hours, so why not make everything automatic and avoid problems.

Don't agree with that, my friend. Flag means the language not the country. Ex: UK flag considers as English. There're so many countries in other continents (Asia, Americas, Africa & etc) are using English, Spanish, German and Portuguese as their communication second language. For an example, if a Malaysian want to open a local league, we don't have the flag of Malaysia to choose  (Malay) so we just can pick UK flag (English) as our main language. If the championship should change the time based on that flag, it will also affected on some of the countries outside the Europe.

That's right, it's another way of interpreting, but they might split things up and have a language option and a time zone option in the creation of the league, so players know what schedule the league will have.
If I entered a championship with the English flag I would expect a certain time, and instead I could be wrong.

Agreed, if it means a language option and a seperate timezone option, with the possibility to make the league folow the timezone clock changes, would be a major improvement.

José, half an hour you said? 😊
