The goal of this post is to offer feedback on the current design of the game and how they impact players. It is not meant to be mean or malicious.

Currently, time-gated events are difficult for me to complete or participate in. I simply do not have several periods of free time throughout the day. Things like wars/tournaments/bosses are thus impossible for me to participate in. Not only does this lock me out of completing this type of content, but it also locks me out of quests in the 7 regions. An example being the the blue stone quest and the following sabotage/blessing quests. I was forced to purchase my way out of the blue stone quest but now I find myself stuck and unable to move any further, thus preventing me from experiencing whatever comes after.

These issues compound themselves and together cause me to lose out on a lot of potential benefits. Needless to say, this is incredibly frustrating. Likewise, needing to complete the blacksmith quest before reaching level 26 because the store stops selling basic gear at that point, feels poorly thought out. I view this and the above issues as detrimental to my enjoyment of the game. I'm speaking up about it, but imagine all the players that haven't done the same and simply quit.. To be blunt, if these do not change quickly, I will also most likely quit the game.

As an overseas player I can relate to what you're feeling and going through. Unfortunately for us, the game is focused mainly on the Brazilian player base timezone, then Europe and so goes on... Here on the Land down under, sometimes is ok sometimes not. For example, the new refresh time for the Shadow Hunt is 5:30am, so if I don't wanna lose all my hard earned gold, I have to either wake up and put it back on SH or ask for friends in Brazil to do it for me. I can't participate in most of the TW because of the timezone, today will happen at 4am. Unfortunately, there is nothing that the GM can do it in a manner that would be ok for everyone. You'll have to either adapt or make friends and trust in them to help you out on these quests.
