2016 Fanfest Streams/Items

[Sub-Xero]

So your website(s) state: "The archived footage, coupled with the in-game bonus item code, will no longer be available for purchase after August 31, 2017."

Today is still the 31st everywhere in North America yet I cannot purchase any of the streams/items because "the event has now ended." Thanks for ending it early?... Guess you didn't want my $89.97 + tax?

I don't want to hear about how I should've purchased them already/earlier. Yeah, OBVIOUSLY I should've done that seeing as I can't now, but that doesn't mean SE shouldn't abide by their own end date.

Its the 01.09 in europe and japan already... and since SE is a japanese company, my guess would be that they're refering to their own time, aka japanese time. And by that you're about 12 hours late - sorry, buddy, america isnt the center of the world. And SE is infact abiding by their own end-date... for them August 31 is over.

You need to learn time-zones buddy.

Yes, because I'm sure when they made those announcements in English and in North America, they meant after August 31st in Japan. Just like how when they give us maintenance start and end times they don't give us the PDT times. Oh wait, they do. Honestly, I knew I shouldn't have even posted. I knew these were exactly the kind of stupid responses I would get from the SE Defense Force. So I can't even purchase the Las Vegas Fanfest stream despite that taking place in North America? I mean, surely that would still be available to North Americans today while it's still August 31st, right? That would make sense, yeah? No? Oh, okay. Seriously, stop riding that SE D.

...you've been playing for several years and still do not know which time-zone SE follows its timings on?

Gee, I'm sorry you have to stoop to calling me a fan-boy to defend your incompetency.

Gee, you've been playing for several years and still do not know that SE gives announcements to each region with region specific times? I guess when they gave the announcements for the Fanfest times they gave the times in JST? They didn't by the way. Just like when we log into the game the launcher gives us JST for the current event going on. It doesn't unless you're in the relevant time-zone. Even if the Frankfurt and Japan Fanfest times were going by their specific region, it still wouldn't make sense why the Las Vegas one isn't available for NA right now. The announcement was made to North America, the whole thing is in English and uses USD, but you're going to tell me when they said "The archived footage, coupled with the in-game bonus item code, will no longer be available for purchase after August 31, 2017" they meant August 31st in Japan despite everything else being relevant to North America? I'm done. I said what I needed to say. It's not like I expected anything to come from posting here anyway. I know they won't do anything about it and I really don't care. Just stupid to say one thing then do another. Then again, that's totally par for the course for SE.

I'm experiencing similar problems but imo it might be caused by some bugs of cleeng system instead of timezone difference.
I bought all 3 livestreams and my account library still shows that I have 3hs left for them, but when I click in it still tells me "the event has now ended".
More ironically, I was totally fine watching the Las Vegas stream 15 min ago before I decided to close the tab and switch to Tokyo. And now I just cannot return to either of them. I guess if I had kept the tab open, it should be still available now. Welp...

Contrary to your delusional belief, I've only played for 3 months since SB came out. Good try though.

Also, yes I've known that fact ever since I've played. Question is; are you going to assume it's in your timezone if they didn't specify?

The announcement was made to North America

Correction; the announcement of the sales of the GLOBAL Fanfest 2016 streams were made to everyone, not just North American players.

the whole thing is in English and uses USD

'the whole thing'? That's only for the LV stream. If you look at Frankfurt's pricing it's in GBP.

Also, Tokyo's stream is in Japanese with English subs, as opposed to both languages for LV's.

but you're going to tell me when they said "The archived footage, coupled with the in-game bonus item code, will no longer be available for purchase after August 31, 2017" they meant August 31st in Japan despite everything else being relevant to North America?

Yup.

Unless they've specifically included in the timezone abbreviations next to their timings, you have to assume that it's in JST.

Why? Sure, it's only the August 31st for your region, but

Its the 01.09 in europe and japan already...

Hence my first response to your complaint:

You need to learn time-zones buddy.

Honestly at this point, I have no idea why you're behaving as if this is the first time you've experienced the difference in time-zone.
