Daily 2% training bonus drop - what time?

[ponzu]

Did you guys figure out at what time training bonuses drop by 2% daily? And is it at the same time for everyone or by timezone?

I am in PST and for me it drop some time in the evening, perhaps 7 or 8 pm, but I can't catch exactly when.

It seems when the new day starts: usually sometime between 9 and 9:30 pm eastern time for me.

Today for me it happened between 6 and 7 pm PST. Which means it's happening at the same time for everyone. Is that when the "day" starts? I was always wondering about that. Which time zone is it bride to? Serbia? Doesn't seem to be GMT.

I guess it's different for servers. PST I guess it's UTC +3(in Russia?) I follow +5:30. For me, the day's called at around 8 am when the Europeans don't follow DST, and at 7am when they follow DST.
In that case, the day for you should be 5:30 am for you. But it isn't.

Oh, you're near San Francisco?

It's 8pm MST so its GMT-3

An answer that invites two more questions.

1. 8 pm MST is 7 pm PST. And the 2% dropped off for me between 6 pm and 7 pm PST, so before 8 MST, not at 8 MST. Okay, not a question, a counterexample perhaps.

2. What is the significance of 8 MST as a day-ender? Maradona goes to bed, lights out?

i think that is the same time everyday....like that is the time for system "restart"

it's likely where the server is hosted, my guess would be greenland, or it could just be an arbitrary time decided early on by Nordeus as one with low server load so ideal for day resets. I have no clue because their dev team never reads this and never answers questions like this.

Right. Like many other things about this game, it's hard to second-guess the developers' decisions on this. But it is some time around 7 PM PST. Just not at 7 PM. I'll try gathering more data.

If I have to explain why I care. Let's say I have several players at 97% condition. I have all bonuses at 10%. If I train them now, I don't get any bonus for them. If I don't train them for 3 hours, I waste 4% condition. If I know that bonuses drop before 3 hours, I will wait. If I know the bonus drop later in the day, I may as well train. It will not be every day that I will be faced with this math, but today was one of those days. I waited, until 6 PM and started training, not knowing when the drop was. If I had known it was around (before) 7 PM, I would have waited a little longer. No big deal. It just bugs me not knowing how programs work.

you don't always have to train them for the squad bonus lol, train them so they get better, also, a little rest at max condition never hurt a player every now and again.
