The GMT to BST clock changes are impacting quest refreshes from 30th March.
i.e. Daily quests are now refreshing at 01:00 HRS instead of 00:00HRS, thats a delay of 1 hour. Other areas daily fights also impacted.
Was fine during BST.
Can KABAM fix this please ?
Cheers.

    Sometime around a year ago, Kabam decided to STOP doing DST adjustments from now on.

    It was always hit-and-miss as to if or when it got adjusted with Events, Quests, Objectives, etc, and some things always got out of sync.
    (and not all countries changed on same dates, not to mention Southern Hemisphere countries)

    So from now, they said they will not be adjusting start/end times by +/- an hour as DST changes anymore.

    FYI, U.S. changed DST back on March 9. Did yours (BST) just change this weekend ?
    (*or are you describing something that ACTUALLY changed in game yesterday, that may actually be a bug or unintended clock change in game ???)

    (edit 2), just Google’d, yes BST (British Summer Time) did just change this weekend.

    Note 1: odd that you use the S for Summer (is it BWT for Winter otherwise ?), where U.S. uses the S for Standard, versus using letter D in the middle for Daylight (instead of “S”ummer).

    And some in U.S. are currently making a big push to just scrap the whole thing anyways (and never change our clocks anymore twice a year). Which I would actually be in favor of (** IF ** they make it permanently **ON** Daylight Saving, all year round.)

    Having Noon being when sun is directly overhead would be fine if people actually had their waking time be split evenly before and after noon. But that of course is not the case. People aren’t up from 5am to only 7pm, it is severely tilted to the AFTER hours. So our clocks should reflect that too.

    I would have actually pushed for current 1 hour DST time during winter, and then make it even 1 hour more (so 2hrs) during summer time.

    “Can't have kids going to school in morning when it is dark” they say. Well they already COME HOME in the winter while it is dark out already, so why not dark in morning school drive instead.

    There are some states that as useless as it seems its really needed to ensure less energy consumption.

    Thanks for feedback Summoners.
    Personally I don't like these BST/GMT clock changes myself but most internet devices automatically adjust anyway ... But my brain doesn't 🤠.
    Many European and far eastern countries don't bother at all. So this throws out sync with the clock changing countries.
    It was done originally Germany, then in the UK/parts of Europe between WW1 and WW2 and used to help farmers back in the days for extra daylight in the morning. UK actually shifted 2 hours originally which didn't last long so reverted back to 1 hour.
    US can blame Benjamin Franklin for DST joke 🤠.
    Cheers!

    Me, in Japan: Ohhh sun is out at 4am today.

    (We don’t use/adjust to Daylight Savings)
