Burst-Time Details: Burst-Time will now be split between two parts of the day. The times shall now be for an hour-duration starting two one hours after the Element changes for Accessories-Quests (which seems to be around 05h00 in the morning Pacific-Time each day) and another hour-duration at 18h00 Pacific-Time. The logic behind this is because, for the morning hour, two one hours should be more-than-sufficient time for everyone to have completed all daily attempts at Accessories-Quests (which can be rather time-consuming if you aren't upper-tier), and, the follow-up hour seems to be a good time to try and get some of those daily raid-quests out of the way. For the evening duration, the same logic will still apply as it pertains to Crucible/Dawn-Break Events, but, also, because there has often been surprise-maintenances that have occurred starting at 19h00PST (this was historically right in the middle of our former two-hour burst-time and I would rather not set burst-time slots that are inaccessible to Union-members).

Reset-Time was historically reverted back to 18h00-20h00 Pacific-Time. Pacific-Time is -8 hours from GMT/UTC. This was necessary because «unscheduled/unannounced» maintenances were often occurring shortly after reset-time in the month of May 2019CE (thus defeating the purpose of setting Burst-Times to 00h00PST). The «logic» for this Union's evening Burst-Time shall be hereby explained as follows...

06h00-07h00PST: This Burst-Time selected so as to not conflict with the time-period for those who like to get their Accessories-Quests done early for the day (such as starting them at 05h00PST and finishing up before 06h00PST). This allows time for Burst-Time/Raid-Preparations.

18h00-19h00PST: Main Burst-Time picked for this time-slot due to the Dawn-Break Combat-Events (other version : Crucible-of-Combat).

Each day, when reset-time occurs, any and all status-boosts that were applied to the Dawn-Break Combat Events are reset back to zero, requiring more Divine-Rings (Holy Grails for the Crucible-version of this Event) which must be obtained from more Throne-Battles (Lilim-Battles for the Crucible-version of this Event) in order to re-apply the status-boosts. This takes time, and, if Burst-Time is set too early in the day, then any status-boosts to Burst-Damage would not really benefit the Union's Burst-Time. Thus, via this particular time-period, sufficient time is given to Union-members to collect enough Divine-Rings throughout the first part of the day in order to apply ATK↑ and Burst-Damage status-boosts to 100, allowing for rapid-fire progress in short time through many Seraph-Ranks, even from the Ultimate-Tab...probably !
(Seraph-Battles are called Demon-Battles in the Crucible-version of this Event).

Additionally, server-maintenance often occurs starting right at the end of this particular specific burst-time period, then the game coming back up around reset-time (reset-time being around 00h00PST). Setting the Burst-Time at any time that starts from 20h00PST and not ending until 00h00PST would just waste Burst-Time since maintenance occurs so often during said time-period (and sometimes even at or extends past 00h00PST).

Also, although I have not necessarily been very pro-active with co-ordinating schedules so that we all know exactly when to show up for which raids to do together, once I force myself to manage my time better, I intend to make it a priority to develop a system to keep that on-going.
