WTF WoW

Transmute cooldowns seem to expire at midnight server time.

Crowfeathers and mini-Keen did their gem transmute at "exactly" the same time (as close to exactly as you can get when I have to log one off to log the other on). Both were just after midnight.

This morning I woke up and out of habit logged them on to do the transmutes before I do anything else on the game. (If I don't do them first, I forget about them.) Crow did his transmute, and I switched to Keen. He had a 16 hour cooldown, which made me realize that Crow's shouldn't have(?) worked.

So... what the heck. Cooldowns vary by character? Crow is 80 and mini-Keen is 78, but that seems odd.

I think that there's some variation between the server times, or maybe your timing was just a hint off. I have had similar things happen to me.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ah, makes sense! Maybe it was too close to midnight.

The only thing I can think of is that Crow actually got his transmute done before midnight, and mini-Keen afterwards. That's really the only thing that makes sense. o.o

They were both about 12:15, so it wasn't too close. I was worried if I did it too close it might not count as after midnight, so I gave it that bit of a buffer.

Strange!

A wizard did it.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Bzzt! Both are hunters!

;)

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

Yes but a wizard still did it. Just because they are both hunters doesn't mean a wizard couldn't have done it :P

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Wizards are awfully sneaky, you could be right!

Are the servers in the same timezone? i.e. EST/PST/CST?

Most server related resets happen at the same time based on server time.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yep, both characters on the same server (only one I play on), and both in the same timezone as me (PST, yay!). Might just be an odd thing, I guess.
