My idea is that instead of having power hour be an event just have it be an item that people use whenever they want.  I know CK already does this sometimes, and sends people that item to use whenever but does expire if not used.  I think that this should be a more regular occurance, possibly more often the higher the PP tier.

Other idea is maybe having a double credit item given out in the same fashion.

The reason I bring this up is because I have had too many times where I forget the power hour, or sleep through it.  Maybe I should set an alarm idk, but I just thought I'd throw this out there, because it seems like it shouldn't be too difficult, seeing as the framework is already there.


Hows it going, and have fun.

You've got to be a bit careful with that sort of thing or the game starts heading down the pay to win route. I'd agree with it in principle but increasing exp rewards for people who can afford to pay more real money for it is a slippery slope.

Are website push notifications a thing? Wouldn't mind an alert when powerhour is about to start.

You are right mightyafro, now that I think about it that way it does seem a little bit p2w.  Was mostly just thinking about myself and some way of being able to catch power hour more often...  Sometimes I will stay up all night just to catch power hour but then either fall asleep before it starts or totally space it out.

But, I would say that you are right about the p2w thing.  But, the whole 2x credit boost thing I would like to see though in some way or another.

Did power hour ever cycle through the time zones or did it stay fixed

My understanding was that they blindly tracked server time, but that was when I used UTC for server. It may be the case that it all shifts by an hour... Been a while since I looked.
