I'm Australian so that doesn't really help.

And no I'm not taking it out any real life time for a game.

Well ! I do understand this Power Hour thingy prob. It's unsuitable for all. Easy way to solve this is let players activate the 2x whenever they want just like any other XP Booster. Or let it be on for like one whole server-24 hrs on a selected day like Saturday, automatically active for all players & a player will benefit from it for only 2 hrs and the rest of the day goes with normal XP.

 there's an inherent problem with trying to set something like this- while it's 11:00PM for power hour in New York City, it's 6:00AM in Kiev, Ukraine, and 1:00 PM in Melbourne Australia, as an example. No matter what time is set, it's going to seem insensitive to our international players, and frequent power hours may not be convenient for everyone either. I'm not defending the choice, just saying that there may not be a simple solution to have a power hour that's convenient to every one of our players.

how bout we can just simply choose our power hours that solves loads of problems. but once u choose your power hour u cant change it anymore to ensure fairness.

I like that luna but how about getting 2 power hours each day and using them at any time because what if a personal problem comes up or they cant log on etc

 @ luna, I'm not sure that would be a very elegant solution, given the amount of code that would require.

 Simple. You get 2 exp boosters in your inventory. It wouldn't effect bag space tho...PLZ?I have 19/20 items.

 The only way I would see this being fair across all time zones would be if the power hour shifted every day. If it went forward one hour each day, it would be on a 12 day cycle and everyone would have power hour be convenient for everyone at least 3-5 days every 12 days.

Power hour could just auto-start when you log in.

^hmm nice idea might be better than mine because it take lesser codes to do and sound logical.

 @8rlx0: Not a bad idea!

That would certainly change the function of the power hour though. It'll become much more a bonus for casual players than it is now.

If someone only plays 30 minutes or an hour a day, they'd have the boost the whole time they are playing. It would be an interesting change and it would definitely make ED more friendly to the casual player.

Or just remove power hour idea. Sometimes the solution is as simple as that.

@Rad: But then a lot of players who use PH would flame like anything. And players who wanted to use it will flame. So, that will put us farther into the hole.

Personally, Power Hour needs to be fixed. Not everyone lives in the US and can access power hour easily.
I live in Newfoundland, Canada. My Power Hour is either 1-2ish am, which is way to early for me, and parental and school restrictions.
Or, 1-2ish Pm, in which I have school.

So, power hour is royally wrecked for people like me.
