I was thinking about the ladder reset time about how it's random. Wouldn't it be easier if was set to reset at midnight instead? Anyone else agree? It would probably make the ladder a lot more interesting...And as for all these like legendary events and stuff we should have the option to click the monsters we want to kill similar to as in setting the preferences on no monster spawn when titan is active. More work for HCS but it'll be a lot easier and more efficient for players doing those events? Any suggestions?

The whole point of the random reset is just that - that it's random - so no-one involved on the ladder knows when it's going to reset so can't time their hits to fall just before the reset.

 

So, I'm gonna vote no (even though I don't, nor have I ever, play the ladder .. )

 

(also, a fixed reset time would benefit players in some time zones and be majorly detrimental to those in others ... )

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

If my lone brain cell hasn't quit working I'm thinking this is exactly why the ladder resets randomly. Seems to me it used to be midnight server time and players convinced HCS to change it. I could be wrong on that...wouldn't be my first time.  :)

Wouldn't be fair to those in different time zones.. Random is best

There is a lot that needs to be 'upgraded' with the Ladder, however this is not one.

This will not be happening. The Ladder Reset is random on purpose. To many players would ignore the ladder until reset and then try to blitz their opponents. Not going back to that.
