    Do you have a different name for your time during daylight saving hours? If not, EST is not GMT-5 at the moment it is BST -5 but GMT - 4

    Edit: lol someone else posted same thing, same time as me.

    It's EDT (PDT for PST). And no, GMT does not observe daylight savings. UK time is GMT in the winter and GMT+1 in the summer. GMT itself is constant and never actually changes.

    Ironing sandwich? Delicious!

    You tell people to not to QQ about one problem then instantly QQ about another equally irrelevant problem.

    Oh and comparing fixing a glitch with Kupo and Friends™ to fixing Kings = hilarity. Yes, because they often "fix" intentional design decisions while doing emergency maintenance.

    Complaining about Kings is like complaining about voluntarily punching yourself in the nuts, and when asked why you don't just stop punching yourself in the nuts, you blame it on SE for making you do it.

    Do Kings or do not! There is no whine!

    The problem is that right now the US East Coast is 5 hours behind GMT, right? I am going to look this shit up, because now I am confused.

    Yes, I was right. The World Clock - Time Zones

    London is currently 5 hours ahead of Washington, D.C. EST is GMT -5, right now. So the update is Noon to 2PM EST.

    UK currently isn't synched up with GMT, UK is 5 hours ahead of EDT but GMT isn't.

    But everyone else shifts +1 also in the summer, so E-whatever-T is still -5 from G-whereever-MT except for like two weeks in the spring and fall.

    According the the link UTC does not shift, GMT does.

    Which is....*drumroll*

    CST/CET, which is the timezone we have in Sweden, is one hour ahead of UTC/GMT in winter, and 2 hours ahead of UTC/GMT in summer.

    This since neither of UTC or GMT observe daylight savings, they are constants and always have the same time.

    Currently in UK its BST btw, not GMT (UK only match up to UTC/GMT in winter).

    SE fails at posting GMT times correct, they're always an hour behind, just so you know.

    It's in GMT evening so EU players have an excuse to watch the Eurovision semifinals instead of playing.

    EDT is EST+1 and 5 hours behind British Summer Time which is GMT+1. The switch to EDT occurs before the switch to BST so at some points of the year there is a difference of only 4 hours. Compare that to Caracas which is either 30minutes ahead or behind EST or EDT depending on the time of year and whether or not Rocl is wearing red or green trousers at any given moment.

    I hope this clarifies the situation and anyway maintenance is going to be extended.
