I'm not sure if this has been since the merged worlds patch or if its currently the V patch, but has the game's sense of time gone off? Like is everything now set to a 24 hour time base of when you last did something (for instance I did a zakum run once in the morning and once again in the afternoon, the next day I was only able to to 1 run because it had said I maxed out for the day) even transferring links, I transferred most of my links to my kinesis so i could train it last night 9pm EST, I made a new WA and I can't transfer my links to it today (3pm EST)? Is this only me? Or is everything set to when you last did something?

    Server reset time is 12:00 AM midnight UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), which is the standard by which other time zones are measured. Previously in GMS, the reset time was PST (Pacific Standard Time) or PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) depending on Daylight Savings.

    So, server reset occurs at 4:00 PM Pacific, or 7:00 PM Eastern. In-game quests dependent on time (I.E. calling Orchid or participating in Kritias invasions) and boss resets (Zakum, Hilla, etc) are their UTC equivalent. Due to some confusion from players Nexon, Hot Day gift boxes and Cash Shop reset in Pacific time still. 2x events and other events will list their available time in PST, EST, CET (Central European Time), and AEDT (Eastern Australian Daylight time) or AEST (Eastern Australian Standard Time).

    So be sure to check event times on the news posts.

    Nexon has commented that they're looking into playing around with quest times to see if they can alleviate confusion caused by the server time, but nothing definite.

    There is an unrelated bug with Zakum that has been locking some players out of their daily runs, however, it's caused by all instances of Zakum in that particular channel being full when you're trying to enter, causing the game to miscount your number of runs.

    I see, thank you.
    side note:
    Yeah, I've experienced that bug where Zak locks me out on my second run several times. I kinda figured that it was due to the overpopulation of people trying to do bosses, especially during 2x and it was pretty upsetting tbh. But whats done is done. Just have to wait now...

    Ya, definitely liking not having to stay up to 1/3am for resets and such, would have been great for the New Years shop too if they didn't mess up the posted time.
