The real trick is getting a start time for any specified zone.
They give us dates, but not time.
I have never seen 12:01 am that time zone, which is what the absence implies (to me, and I'm sure I'm not alone), to start when that day starts.
My experience has had events/FA begin 4am central US, but they still don't tell us.
Get ready! Set! Go! --- ummm when do I go? Be ready for any time? Not cool.
(the countdown clock was an improvement on this, but it is absent still/right now, so we can't calculate to know what time on our clocks it begins)
edit: I forgot -- asked and answered

5am Eastern time for FAs and Events, with a shift in the Fall to 6am while the world does their switching off Daylight Savings. Then after those couple of weeks, it is back to 5am, until Daylight Savings starts again and I think we get a couple of weeks of 4am starts before back to 5am.
@Aritra I have always seen the official answer to be an exact hour is not given in case there are issues and it is delayed by a few minutes or an hour or two. Inno would rather deal with the complaints of not having an exact time, rather than all the complaints when something does not start at exactly the listed time.

I'm not sure, although Beta was delayed, I just can't remember why. (only because, to be truthful, I was not paying attention)
This would be correct!

So a safe answer is sometime in the dark hours when most of the Sane folks in the US are sleeping ....
And really the whole of the U.S. must also include the timezones for our territories and that would bring it up to 9 at least

Unfortunately, not everyone has switched over. Most websites still show zones as ±GMT, So I'm thinking more people would know that.
Either way, as @Iyapo1 pointed out it's only ever a 5-seconds google away, and I'd add that the FA is so lame that ±24h is close enough

re: start time
haha That reads a bit familiar. I need to write that down or print it or something. I forgot all about that answer from when I brought it up the last time. Hopefully, now there won't be a next time, lol

We are going for one and done as some of our players need the artifacts. In my opinion as a new player, they need to spread these out more or make them a lot more exciting. For me so far the events have been different and interesting. The FA's have all been the same.

Forgive if this is in the wrong chat. IMO, The Pit at the end should be a hole - call it a wishing well, whatever - that everyone in the fellowship can toss their unused badges. Something fantastical happens, depending on "strength" of each badge tossed in - fireworks, resources or goods come back to you, whatever - like a campfire "Kumbaya" for the fellowship and the players. Not a convoluted extension of FA! By that point everyone is sick to death of FA and desperately want to move on, recover, focus on their own city. Please change the purpose of The Pit. Make it something players and fellowships see as a goal, a fun, exciting, and rewarding close to FA!

Hi there @MajesticRose and welcome to the Forum. This is a good place to start with your idea. Maybe refine it a bit and then head over to Ideas and Suggestions, read the guidelines, and when you are ready, put forth your suggestion, as a change to format, purpose to make it more interesting to play the FA. Drawback is developer time to redesign a bit.
I like it, we are due for a bit of an overhaul.

I like it.
Simply assign a point value for each badge type and players can let em rip.

It bothers in general me when people use words like "everyone."
There is a tendency on this forum to think that your FS represents the feeling of all players.
You really cannot even go by what most of the forum says. There is no evidence that forum users are a scientific sampling.
As to the specific point of your comment, in my FS many of us don't really come alive till we hit the pit.
We especially enjoy that last hour or so when we contend with one or two other FS's for position.

Yes, the only difference I have noticed is the rewards, we get artifacts instead of the 2 buildings we got last FA.
