HTC please purchase a clock
« on: January 12, 2010, 10:53:08 AM »
... so when the arena reset message says 17mins, it actually means 17 mins. not 12 mins like it was today. this happens almost everytime im around for a map change, every time i leave enough time to RTB with 5mins spare, then get discod by the server on short final.

very annoying. :furious

If it happens every time you might think about leaving the fight sooner than five minutes....

to be fair, skuzzy announced a 13 minute delay, i started the timer on my phone for 13 min and about 30 seconds after the timer went off the arena reset.

I was going to say, I never said a thing about 17 minutes and I do use a clock.

At 10:32am CST, I made the 13 minute announcement.  The reset was at 10:45am CST, according to the server logs.

Dang it Roy.  From now on, don't give a warning.  I bet they still complain after wards.    :cheers:

And while they're at it, they can purchase some $%&$& CLOUDS, as the sun is nearly always fairly low in the horizon, and my retinas are getting burned out!

That's okay RTHolmes.  I could have easily fat-fingered the time when I made the announcement.  I had to wait until someone posted for verification. :)
