What are you using for UTC I am highly confused because if I google time UTC I get this:

7:55 AM
Thursday, July 5, 2018
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Are you not using Coordinated Universal Time? If not what are you using so the rest of us aren't completely confused as to what 00.00 UTC actually means.

    I totally understand the confusion...from what I am aware the Bloodhunt starts at 8pm Canada time on the 5th July...which is 00.00 UTC on the 6th. I put UTC time as it is easier for people to work it out in their own time zone.

    Okay thank you very much for this information, because Not_Queen stated in the earlier post that it was still going to be coming out at 00.00 UTC July 5th, then stated that wasn't for 27 hours when that time passed at 8PM July 4th for them. I am going to assume that was a typo and she really meant to put 00.00 July 6th UTC.

    It says UTC is no different to GMT (where I am) so it confuses me too what time they are actually working from. 🤔 A countdown would be cooler.

    I'm in the UK and right now we're on BST which is UTC+1 but in the winter we are back to GMT time, I always find it confusing.

    And yes, I agree a countdown would solve a lot of confusion and it is something I will suggest for future events to avoid this situation happening again.
