As Shan reminded us, most of the USA is exiting Daylight Saving Time next week. For those of you in Arizona or other places where saving daylight is illegal, here's a cheatsheet of things that change time in-game when this happens:
Things that move forward an hour:
- Event end times
Things that don't change time:
- Reset time of dailies
- Arena reward downtime
- Replicator uses
- Gauntlet start/end time
- Dabo wheel
Things that move forward an hour:

Things that don't change time:
- Reset time of dailies
- Arena reward downtime
- Replicator uses
- Gauntlet start/end time
- Dabo wheel

I want to say when the savings time changes all of these things change. My dailies will go from resetting at midnight to 11. Gauntlet and Dabo Wheel will move up an hour too. This has always been my experience
- Taking out of cryo merit reset.
- Chroniton Boost
Things that do.
- Event start
This is because you're in a DST zone, so your time changes while those things stay the same. My post is for people in non-DST regions.
Ah yes. It’s not the same everywhere. I always get all out of sorts when the tine changes
As do we all.
And indeed 1 hour was added to my shuttles. This should be a nogo.
/edit: A restart instantly finished my shuttles and fixed the daily reward and the cadet tickets, so all is fine again. Still weird that this was not the same for everything.
A restart should fix that.
Oh. I wish I knew that before. I let them ride out
Isn t it the common thing, first to do, to restart the app when something is messed up?
I didn’t realize it was a mess up. I just figured it was the way that worked
So we’re in that strange week before the US catches up and I don’t know what time anything is supposed to happen in game.
Roll on next week, where I’ll have to be awake before 6am to ensure I can compete in the arena!

Others beat me to it, but I’ll say this anyway: event times are tied to whenever noon is on the clock in DB’s offices and all other system times are set to UTC-5 regardless of what’s on the clock.
I appreciate your Vulcanian attention to detail in stating the obvious. This was part of the point of the post: it both helps people remember which things do/n't change, and it points out the absurdity that ONLY 1 thing changes time when DST hits.
As a person in a DST-free refugium, I'm used to games changing time when DST hits, but it would be nice if it were consistent. Either change the time on everything, or on nothing. But splitting it is confusing -- especially because there are things that happen at the same time as the event start/end half the year but happen an hour later the other half.
And for the record, I think it would be easiest to keep the event start/end times the same all year long -- like all the other in-game times are -- rather than leaping them an hour back and forth at arbitrary times.
