Yeah a schedule change has definitely always come with an update. But clearly the devs are having some fun making us chase it too since they've changed it twice in the last week . It's entirely possible that we figured out the "new" time (when it switched to 12:00) too quickly and they decided to make it harder (a 25 hour clock). Yep that just means one time it moved, one time was due to the daily adventure reset. Hence one move a day, but two hits possible.
Personally, I suspect that its not the devs playing with us, its just that the timer gets (re-)started whenever the server is (re-)started.
I like that theory, neoncat. Edit: Loot Fairy still at Frozen Earth 0:45 UTC after daily adventure/shop reset.
I have no evidence but after thinking i would say Fairy changes at 13:00h my time (in about 4h) and then at 01:00h adventure resets so we get second dips
UK player spoted Otherwise that's what we have been assuming in the first place but players's feedbacks made this assumption wrong. Just take a look at yesterday times. It changed location at around 17h00 your time (seen for the last time at the roaches at 15h55 GMT http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/loot-fairy-tracker.5428/page-45#post-59902 , found in frozen earth at 16h20 GMT http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/loot-fairy-tracker.5428/page-45#post-59909) While on another day the fairy (loot troll would make more sense) changed location before 13h00 GMT: http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/loot-fairy-tracker.5428/page-39#post-59122
Still @ Frozen Earth - UURR(R), among them a Forgefire Staff. That is my guess as well. I'm pretty sure the devs have more important things to do than to play hide & seek with the fairy.
Arghh, let me try again: Sir Veza is portuguese too! Anyway back to the subject: URRE-R @ frozen earth 11h20 GMT.
So, what's the best guess for the time the loot fairy's resetting? 1300hrs UTC? 1500hrs UTC? 1600hrs UTC? I've been one of the silent helpers checking locations for hunts over the last few days, but I'm not sure what the best time is to start looking. If it's 1600hrs UTC then that's a bit late for me and I'll probably have to go to bed without helping (work early in the morning).
I won't start looking before 16h00 GMT. And probably after 17H00 GMT in case the fairy change time is increased by one hour everyday. Don't want to waste adventures at the cost of missing it :/
Hmm, as I'll be asleep before then, I suppose I may be as well just playing the next adventure in the campaign now seeing as I do, sort of, have time. Return to the Astral Shrine here we come? Maybe I can persuade myself to get out of bed a little early to check and play before work? Ouch. That could hurt.
If you, or anyone else HASN'T yet run Frozen Earth, the most helpful thing would be to have people run it at: 1530 UTC 1630 UTC 1730 UTC (Obviously need different people for different times.) This is the best way to know when it leaves.
I did Frozen Earth after getting up this morning (when I went to bed, it was still listed as being at the Cockroaches, so I missed that loot drop), so that won't reset for me until tomorrow morning.
