DARKB1KE Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) What is the best time to boost for both NA and EU regions together? I'm trying to plan some boosts but it seems like there isn't a good time to meet in the middle for NA and EU. Early morning NA means late at night for EU, or vice versa. For example I have west coast Canada (gmt -7) and the others want to play at (gmt +1). http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?qm=1&lid=5946768,121&h=5946768&date=2017-2-18&sln=2-3 I want to try and make it so that one side isn't up in the middle of the night. Anybody nailed down a good time for boost sessions? Edited February 16, 2017 by DARKB1KE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemiak Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 That's an 8 hour difference. So if you were on around noon that would be 8 for GB and slightly later as you moved east. It really just depends on the individual player and their schedules though. I've played at midnight (gmt-6) with people who were up really early in EU, but the earlier in the day us Americans can get on the easier it is usually.

thegirlruka Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I generally boost whenever the other person feels like it. Noon your time would be good though. It'd be 8pm where your partner is and that's still pretty early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I find world clock to be very helpful. Put the time zones into here, it helps. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulTorment Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) You'll have a hard time finding good timing for the west coast of north america and eu. However the eastern time zone is quite a bit friendlier for making a session. EST is 5 hours behind the EU. A lot of people finish work and get home by 530 or 6 EST so that puts you at about 1030 EU time for a boosting session.

Chingon_Player Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 11:00 am (GMT -6 CENTRAL) = 12:00 pm (EAST) = 05:00 PM (UK) This worked fine for me when i was doing the U3 and U2 trophies, lots of europeans and some americans active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yadilie Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Someone has to relent and be up early or be up late. Just how it is. I'm forced to boost at 9am a lot because I'm a late night worker. Normally on after 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just started a boosting session and totally forgot about the time difference. Edited February 16, 2017 by Stevieboy Please don't arrange or advertise sessions in the forums.

Yes, it doesn't help I am organizing 24 players, each with their own times. Logistical nightmare, that's all it is. Plus different cultures have different work schedules and routines.

giggedy Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 only the extreme west of Europe (UK, Ireland and Portugal) is 5 hours ahead of the US, you need to add an hour for France, Germany, Norway and the rest of central Europe (and maybe Spain) and even more for the rest of Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEATNGU42 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Probably the wrong place to post this, but is there anyone on here that's still willing to boost Bad Company awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1rvine Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Depends on the type of game. If we're talking boosting with only 1-2 other people I'll usually just talk to them and setup a specific time that works for everyone, and try to be very flexible myself. If the game requires several people, such as teams of 6 or 8, then I try to set the time around 1-2PM EST (New York timezone) on a Saturday. Most people will be free Saturdays. For EU people it'll be early to late evening, but not terribly late, and still works for west coast US (California) people as it's late morning for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
