I don’t really have a significant amount of sympathy in this case. You’re number 4 on the Medals list. If you had 12 visits saved up and were waiting to start a vanilla run right before rollover so that you could actually run 16 visits, then it sucks that you lost approximately 32 Vanilla Scoops, but if that’s your strategy, then you’re redlining the engine to begin with. And I’m wondering if the countdown timer was accurate or not. If it was, then you’ve got no argument at all. If it was inaccurate, then perhaps I have some level of sympathy.

At that level of Domination play, the slightest miscalculation or random event can cause problems. And you know this.

A glitch in the server, a power outage, any number of things could interfere with your strategy at that level. It’s like running into a tiny pebble at 100,000 km/hour versus 80 km/hour. Catastrophic damage versus ”Did you hear something?”

This ‘glitch’ affects you so significantly only because you are playing at such a high level. And it may or may not have affected your competitors. But when you sit at the high-stakes table, random chance is one of the only variables in the game, because everyone at that table plays so well.

It may not be an intentional part of the game by design, but it’s there, and you either have to grit it out and stay at the table, or cut your losses and run.

Having seen you play before, I’m betting you’re going to stay at the table.

This.

Keep in mind, for all your whining about “missing visits” most players in America can’t even take advantage of the 16-visit rollover, since it happens at 5-6 am for us here.

It seems like all the European and foreign players **** and moan about domination time end and forumbuildr end, but when it comes to other advantages like getting to have a 16-visit solo raid, shoot, they don’t mind a bit.

Maybe we should start having rollover times change every night too, “just to make it fair.” You don’t hear Americans whining about not being able to utilize the 16-visit raid.
