Question:

Say if we're in-game and it hits 1PM bst, do we need to log out (as in log out then log back in and head to hero tab) of the game in order to grab the released name?

You don't need to re-log or refresh your client to have access to the names as soon as they become available.

Why so early... For america you are releasing these when everyone is asleep, could you consider releasing these like 6 hours later then that because anyone that has a life does not get up at 7 am. Thanks.
Sounds like a personal problem, the world doesn't revolve around us.

He makes a sincere point though. Why does the second batch release at 8:00 and not way later in the day like when people get home from work? People 3 hours behind EST will likely still be asleep, and the other two timezones in America that are an hour + behind EST will most likely forget about this update because they're asleep or busy getting ready for work. Aside from his point if I may say, the fact that they are releasing the names when the batch begins defeats the purpose of releasing them in the first place. No one truly has that much of a chance this time. They wont have laggy service/servers but they'll have complaints coming in left and right when the batch releases tomorrow. Honestly, the only thing I like about the second batch being released tomorrow is the 1000 total level requirement idea. THAT brought fairness to PLAYERS.

You realize there are other countries in the world right....?

Just checking, because i think your forgetting that for countries like Australia this release will be at around 9:30ish pm. So making it "later" means you want it to be like 2-3am Australian time? No matter when the release is there will be some issues with somewhere in the world. They have been altering the release times, which means there will be times that everyone gets a fair chance. Honestly open your eyes and realize there are a few more countries in the world. Not to mention 7am is reasonable in comparison to when most updates are for other countries....

Hello, for anyone getting confused on "when" it's going to take place. Just click the "Wednesday 13th August at 1pm BST" on the first post from Mod William. This will convert your timezone with theirs. Saves a lot of confusion and stress.

I hope you all get the names you're looking for! :)

Edit: NewCreation it's 10:00pm in Aus unless you're from Western Australia.
