Is there a possibility...

.... that gauntlet closing time moves? Since looks like that getting a caretaker is somehow connected with winning the gauntlet and gauntlet ends for europians between 00.00 and 2.00 there are some of us that can not afford beeing awake. You know , job, traveling to work and so on.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Locutus, Guinan and Caretaker x3 all came from less than 12 streaks for me.
2 Guinans ... Both streaks of 3 (starting to get better at ranking)
1 Caretaker ... Streak of 6
1 Caretaker from final boxes (out of many 1sts and a few top 10s)
My general experience, most of those top tier lootboxes are just 3* items.
Well good to know that I am not the only one though that does not help either of us, right? It just unlucky fingers, i guess. In any case i wish you and all that havent got to get at least 1 cause it become really depresing. Especially when some of your fleet mates airlocking them and you know the reason.
Peachtree Rex, you are on my block list cause discussion with you and that other player results with my temporary ban and a ban of my fleetmates.
You know all, it is never what it seems and this here is last time that i adressed you or spent any time on your remarks
I’ve received 3 copies of the Caretaker, 3 copies of Guinan and 4 copies of Locutus. Out of the combined 10 drops, only 1 was in an end of Gauntlet crate. The other 9 were just from streaks with a few dropping after only a streak of 3.
So I don’t see where the Gauntlet end time has any impact on the legendary drops
It is not my fault if you or your fleet mates chose to violate the community guidelines.
These days I often have trouble even getting to a streak of 3 without running into a wall of Surak-ack-ack-ack-ack.
Based on recieving point of caretaker from my fleetmates ( dont have another point of reference) lenght of streak is not important. But what is, that they , in big procentage, for it after winning previous gauntlet. So they winn gauntlet and in next one at some moment they got it.
That way general idea of my question. To allow europian players that work and can not afford beeing awake in 2.00 to have chance to winn gauntlet .
I think there is no need going into gauntlet strategy or how most of it is very often resolved in last 1 hour of it.
That gauntlet is rigged?
Answer: yes
I inclined to agree and say that is only RNG question.
There is no rule in streaks. Some got it after 9th battle, some after 21 or higher. What is common, as i said, they did, in big procentage won previous.
Of the six total gauntlet legendary crew I’ve gotten, two were from 3-win streaks, two were from 9-win streaks, and two were from end-of-gauntlet rewards. I cannot recall where I ranked when I got my second Guinan but my third Caretaker came from a 41st-place finish. For what it’s worth, I have never done better than 4th and usually end up between 15th and 25th.
Pretty similar story for me. I have won the gauntlet once though...only got stuff I didn't need. Have 3 guinans all won by streaks 3rd, around 12th, and cannot remember the last one won. And I have 1 caretaker won by getting 15th place or so in the gauntlet. I have to agree with the sentiment here that winning doesn't help and many of my fleet mates report the same.
I can understand the frustration from the OP though. Daily reset is at midnight for me and I wish it was a different time. Some in my fleet have to deal with events starting at 9am which always puts them behind in most events and they feel like sometimes it's too hard to catch up. With all that said, not sure how DB can fix this to make it fair for everyone in every scenario without causing mass confusion (by rotating times things happen for example).
Anyone noticed caretakers dropping more frequently after winning the previous gauntlet?
These days I just farm the gauntlet for Merits.

To win the gauntlet is not the biggest problem if you are from Europe, you can win enough points before the other guys play the last rounds after you. If you have a lead of 600 points there are not many players who will reach you later. I win probably 4 of 10 and place in the top3 another 4 of 10 rounds.
How many people realistically get streaks longer than 12 on a regular basis, though? Routinely getting streaks that long or longer is going to require dil and merits to be sustainable or repeatable. Whether or not longer streaks have a higher chance of dropping the featured legendary crew, bias is evident by the sheer number of people who get 3-, 6-, and 9-win streaks.
Just focus on streaks, higher is a little better because you might get better gear, and never finish between 5th and 10th.
