    Title: Lost Vale - not on new 11 hour schedule?
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details:
    Lost Vale was open from 3-4pm Central on Thurs 8/30.

    If it were on the new 11 hour schedule, then it would've been open at:

    2am - 3am Central on Fri 8/31
    1pm - 2pm Central on Fri 8/31

    Checking at 1pm Central on Fri 8/31 - Lost Vale wasn't open.

    And there were reports that it was open earlier at around 10am Central on Fri 8/31 - which would make it on the older 18 hour schedule.

    Can you please review the Lost Vale schedule and confirm that it's on the new 11-hour cycle?

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Review when Lost Vale was open - determine whether it's on the new 11-hour cycle

    User Specs:
    OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz (12) System RAM: 32686

    This was just after it should've closed on the 11 hour cycle, shortly after 2pm Central on Fri 8/31. Lost Vale was not open the previous hour, when it should've been if it were on the 11-hour cycle

    I found the entrance at 07:57 EST, but did not see it again at 18:57 EST on Sep 1, 18. Checked 07:57 EST, 8:57 EST, and 9:57 EST with no result on Sep 2, 18.

    Here is my experience with it . All times EDT.

    Thursday -- 5:00PM -- It Appeared
    Friday -- 4:00AM -- I'm Asleep
    Friday -- 3:00PM -- I'm At Work
    Saturday -- 2:00AM -- I'm Asleep
    Saturday -- 1:00PM -- It Appeared
    Sunday -- 12:00AM -- It Appeared
    Sunday -- 11:00AM -- It Appeared
    Sunday -- 10:00PM -- It Was A No Show
    Monday -- 9:00AM -- It Was A No Show
    Monday -- 8:00PM -- ?


    I'm on now. The Lost Vale is open. It is just after Monday 4:00PM. I guess it opened at 3:00PM as there is no gate at the the expected location. I won't worry about 8:00PM tonight.




    ...and it's open at Monday 9:00PM EDT.

    This was changed by altering a single number in code from 28 --> 11. In other words: the core code did not change and should function as it did before but with a different cadence. I just ran the numbers and produced the table below through the 14th (barring server time is off...or I screwed something up). When comparing notes just make sure you are all comparing in the same time zone etc as things can get confusing very quickly.

    (I will keep an eye on Live to see if things are lining up as I expect them to)

    EDIT: the timezones are a bit funky as I mentioned above and I am investigating 2 possible cadences that is currently occurring. The first list is the times I calculated in UTC but apparently line up with CST. The second list is if I take UTC times and convert them to CST.

    anddddddd it is possible that the UTC times were correct...but in the CST timezone. I will add these potential times to my calendar and verify over the next few days. See the above post for 2 potential lists of the cadences and compare your notes/current experiences with each of those. As of now it look as though the first list is what is happening.

    Lost Vale appeared at 9/7/2018 9:39am Eastern (which should be 8:39am Central)

    Which is 1 hour off from List 1?

    This morning - Lost Vale appeared at 9/7/2018 9:39am Eastern (which should be 8:39am Central) (screenshot and debug info above)

    Which is 1 hour off from List 1?

    Just trying to understand the discrepancy.

    It is possible it's off by 1hr. The logic of when the gate opens did not change however, the only thing that changed was 28 --> 11.

    The way it works right now is the old 28 hours schedule + 11h after and 22h after, then again 28h after.

    It does not. What happens is the game calculates how many days it has been since a fixed date, it then checks if that number is evenly divisible by the cadence.

    Code:
    bool isVisible = (Day % 11) == 0;

    I thought you said you developed the 2nd list based on the 1st list!

    The current theory is that is it the first list +1 hour. So the 6pm entry is really the 7pm. Need to know if it opened this morning at 6am CT. If it did then that is the pattern, if not then it needs to be looked into deeper.
