Will players be able to do the headless horsemen tomorrow for daily loot? My calender says it ends @ 5am but my friends calender says 11:59pm.

Those of you who are seeing a time differring from 11:59PM likely have their calendars or times set to Local Time (which means the time you are seeing is displaying in your local time zone.

Hallow's End will end on 11:59PM SERVER TIME on October 31st, which is different per server. Hope that makes some sense. >^.^<

So, for example, Sinewy, Hallow's End on your calendar may be a bit confusing, as it should end 3am Monday for you, which I presume will be midnight for your server.

Ah, I re-thought the situation and believe I may have mis-worded what I was attempting to convey. Allow me to provide this extra clarification.

The server time displayed correlates to your BATTLEGROUP'S time. Which means the time displayed is your actual server's time (like Mug'thol or Azjol'Nerub) in relation to when it is 11:59PM on your Battleground's dungeon server (like Reckoning, or Whirlwind).

These are two different times. It can be 11:59 when you're sitting Dalaran, but when you zone in for Horseman, it might be 1:59 instead. If that has already transpired, then I believe the Horseman event will be unable to be queued for.

It can be confusing, however, if you are displaying local time, because the time on your clock may not correspond to that on your calendar. I misspoke (mistyped?) initially, my apologies.

A bit more verbose, but I think that's a bit clearer. >^.^<

Q u o t e:


eh how do we know what time our battlegroup is?

Ok but no matter what our battlegroup time zone is vs realm time vs local time (as long as we are in america) we should still be clear to do the event all morning/afternoon long if it ends @ 11:59 SUNDAY night battlegroup time. Is this correct?

It is just confusing because it is listed it ending at morning times on sunday which would make it seem that it is ending at 11:59 SATURDAY battlegroup time.



Correct, during the day on Sunday the 31st, you should have no issues (though those in a vastly different time zone, like Australia, should take the time differences into account as well). This should only be an issue if you wait until last minute to complete your last Horseman run, which we don't advise at all.

The latter which you describe, displaying at early morning on Sunday, I believe is a known display issue.
