Hot take: raid start date on Friday is fine

A raid start at 10 AM pacific is 7 PM European, 9 PM Middle East, 1 AM Asia, 3/5 AM Australia/New Zealand. So you either start the morning fresh to go 24h. Or you start in the evening after a workday, start after midnight and mess up your sleep completely, or get up reaaaaaly early after a shorter night. However you do it. There is always a region that has it less than ideal. Doesn’t matter which day it is, this is the situation when you start 10 AM Pacific. Start on a Friday? Fine, I’ll have my workday and get mentally prepared to push on 24 more hours through the night. (Which we won’t, we need a break somewhere after 10h of raiding at 5 midnight. We will go to sleep and continue in a couple of hours) If this is what it takes for the Bungie team to stay healthy, deliver stable releases, and an awesome experience in general, I’m all for it. Go Bungie! (And if you or I really really really want to go for world first, we’ll take a day off (even the full week to prep) and some days after to get back on sleep)

  • I really don’t understand drama over this. It’s not like all these people complaining about it are gonna get it done on day 1 anyway. Just wait until Saturday then you can actually get it done without contest mode.

  • Americans typically can't comprehend that there are global time zones. 🤣

    • It wont take 24 hours. Its a d1 raid with slightly changed mechanics. Might get some deepsight areas in the raid . Looking forward to the ship jumping with eager edge and dawnblade skating. (If it is kings fall)

      • Im confused why people are so annoyed about this, assuming its the emblem people are wanting 24hrs to get seems like a reasonable window ( if the team in question are taking it seriously ) but if its about taking the race seriously surely if these people were so serious a raider as to actually compete with the streamers and youtubers the day/time it starts shouldnt matter because you will just make the time, also 99.9% of people complaining wont win anyway so surely this isnt a big deal

      • Im just happy there is a player smart enough to know timezones exist and that the starting time has always been unfair to people across the world who have to be awake in the early AM just to raid

      • Also, starting on a Friday gives us an extra weekend day without the contest modifier.

        • I think Friday is prefect, ppl wanting on a sat dont understand why, the devs are ppl an im guessing if they made it on a sat they want ppl in house to avoid the bugs that happened with vow, an these are ppl working 24 hours on a sat is a job id call in -blam!- yall an your first 24

          • It doesn’t just help the Bungie team, it helps those raiding. A staff at work during proper work hours at the start prevents the issues with vow. Also as someone who doesn’t care about worlds first I really appreciate being given two days of the weekend to try to do the raid in a state I would actually want to attempt it. (Note: I tried day one with VOG and hated it so much the first 24 hours of a raid’s release are dead to me)

              • I think that maybe it was placed on Friday since it would free up Saturday and Sunday from having contest modifier
