  • Maybe I missed the news of the arena cashing out at 7:00pm eastern time.

    I was playing what I thought was my last arena matches before 8 then at 7:00 after completion got my rewards.

    I’m in California and the Arena usually finishes at 5PM, but today it ended at 4PM. I assumed it was because of the time change we just had. Wherever this game is located must not follow DST.

    It ended on time – 00:00 UTC. During DST this is 8:00 PM eastern, 07:00 PM central, etc. DST ended – UTC doesn’t care about DST. Thus during standard time it ends at 7:00 PM eastern, 6:00 PM central, etc.

    For anyone not familiar with running servers – think of what happens if a server jumps 1 hour or repeats 1 hour. Scheduled jobs in that period would fail to run or run twice at best. This is a very simplified view of bad things that happen when time skips like that – not counting cryptographic issues – but I think is a decent high level summary. I’m perfectly happy to elaborate in -vvv details for anyone that would like.
