i think because zigzag game servers actually belong in japan.
that’s why their developer address is in tokyo
3 am is 12 pm in japan, and is common work hours after lunch
and more than that, i think there are no particular reason for it
they choose that time because it is flexible according to japan times
why they don’t make it 12 hours after we finished some particular events?
because it will take more codes and more risk to get some bugs. (and more loads in their servers)
AND you guys should know there are differences when the codes is implemented via server and only via application.
When they put it via server no one can tinker it with 3rd app or something else (because it’s connected to their personal server)
and if they only put the codes in the app itself, there are some risk people can tinker it via 3rd app or just pure open it from android studio.
and if i remember you can abuse neo mon time system in the past. like you can change the dates in your phone to next day and you can play that event again and again without waiting.
and someone report it, then they make precaution like this one
A couple of people said it already… it’s quite obvious when you think about it. Midday in Japan, where they work. This means they have an amount of time in the day they’re working both before and after the event release so they can fix things / make changes on either side if necessary.
Well it happens to coincide exactly with midnight in my time zone… s’pose assuming a significant portion of their playerbase is in the US, it can feel properly like an overnight change.
