I’m just saying this because some of us are religious.
Because they are religious, they might miss Build Battle, much like myself.
Every single week, I miss Build Battle.
So I suggest moving the time to 4-5 PM EST?
Or maybe earlier like 8 AM EST!
I want to hear your issues with Build Battle.
I am actually very busy on Sundays.
Mmm.. change the day too?
I really don’t know!



Tell me your issues!!

Currently, the time build battle is at is around peak hour for the network, and is therefore the time that most people can attend. What time zone are you talking about when you say 4-5pm/8am? If you're talking about Eastern Time, many players are not online at 8am and attendance for the event would be low. While 4-5pm is still around peak hours, it is a bit late for those in BST/Europe. I personally believe we should stick with the current time.
 
I think the current build battle time is fine and shouldn't be changed because this for me too is a good time.
 
oh. :( guess i’ll never play bb again
 
I feel like the times are fine, 8am EST is quite a stretch, especially because a lot of people are at school by then. Maybe every few weeks we could change it to a later time.

Don’t say that now. Maybe sometime in the near future you’ll be able to participate.

People have school on Sunday's?
 
The time it is set at now has it at peak time- when most players are on. It is the time most suitable for our biggest audiences.
We originally had it at around 10am or earlier on a Saturday, but it wouldn’t gain many participants and was very unpopular. Moving the time, especially on Sunday at 8am would result in almost no players coming to participate- as well as that some time zones will have it on a Monday, therefore people would be at school, as mentioned of course. Pointing out we’ve changed the time beforehand using a vote, and this time was the most popular and most suitable for majority of players.

Due to this, I will have to respectfully disagree with the suggestion. -1.

8am EST is 1pm for BST... So, no. -1
 
As mentioned above, the times of the builder battles are when there are the most players online and when staff are most likely able to host them. So the times shall stay the same as for now.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. I completely understand that in this specific case you cannot attend due to religious factors but not everyone experiences this. Usually, around the time we currently host it, a majority of players are able to come online because they've finished what they've done during the day. This includes religious activities, extracurricular activities, and perhaps school.

If we host it earlier, this decreases the number of players that are able to participate and distribute equal chances (The lower the number of players, the chances are players who have already participate may play again, which is unfair). Changing both the day and time can be problematic in the future as many of our players are already familiar with the current set time and day, as it's been that way for quite a while, and they may become confused or frustrated if they missed out due to the time/day change.

I cannot see this benefiting the network as a whole, perhaps only a few players will be able to benefit from this. I apologize that the time doesn't work into your schedule, but keeping it the way it currently is has more benefits, for everyone, versus changing it to a different time/day.

Nonetheless, I respect your view and opinion but I won't be agreeing with this suggestion. -1
