Yeah the times do suck im from Australia and we wouldn't mind joining a clan opp but but it seems they only cater for a section of the US how about everyone else.

Elite is NOT catering to the USA I can tell you that....They are trying to find times that everyone (USA and Europe) can play at the same time instead of Regionalizing the Games. By doing this NO ONE is Happy.......I think most of us would not be upset if they would switch the times around and not dedicate a certain day to a certain time like the present format.

They should change the times of each op by an hour or two each time it is up, that way it would suit everybody, at one time or another.

How about a rotation like this...
week 1 FRI 3-6PM EST SAT 6-9PM EST SUN 3-6PM EST
week 2 FRI 6-9PM SAT 9-12PM SUN 6-9PM
week 3 FRI 9-12AM EST SAT 3-6PM SUN 9-12AM EST
Just a thought....Or have 1 Clan-Op in the Morning and 1 at Night, your Clan Leader can only enlist in 1 Op

The next 3 weeks of OPs ARE at these times. and the last 2 weeks were aswell.
Did i miss something here?

I got a better idea.make the clan leader have the ability to pick what three hour period he wants on the clan op day.

How are they appeasing the europeans? explain please. 10pm to 1am EST as some ops are is 3am to 6am GMT. not exactly appealing. But i guess that no matter what times clan ops are on,someone will always complain about it. There is no pleasing the masses.

This is so easy to fix it's not even funny.
Solution: You run the Clan Ops over a 24 hour time frame, allowing each Clan Leader to initialise the 3hour time frame to suite there region and Clan play time. Similar to how the Clan Leader initiates the double XP Bonus's for his Clan.

I agree with your post, I really am sick of dedicating a Sunday afternoon to play at the worst possible hours only to have Server Timed Out issues thru-out the Clan-OP and lose all record of ever playing the game

I agree they need to start changing the clan start time and days. Bring in some variety!

Let's remember a few things
Some of the UK clan ops are plain STUPID; NAs should stop thinking about themselves
Not all people who live in the EST are "Yanks". Learn some geography
And yea, AUS is not in the EU
There is never going to be a way to please everyone, but what they could do is:
Suggestions (not all my own and not all good)
- Run the ops at 3(?) different times and do a better job at logging when people play. People could just play in a 3 hour chunk they wanted to
- Have Ops starting at various times (like 7PST, 7 EST and 7GMT), and the clan leader can only pick 1 time for each eligible op. One week he could choose 7PST and the next 7GMT to try and satisfy everyone over a few weeks (note that 7 is an excellent time if you consider the most logical timezones). A UK clan for example could always choose 7GMT, but if the clan is spread they could choose 7PST (which is 4EST and 9GMT)
- Run Friday ops at 4EST (would be 9GMT, 7PST etc...); maybe the same or a little earlier on Saturdays and a more suitable time on Sundays...
other suggestions?
As it stands I (personally) can barely play the lone wolf ops, and Friday clan ops. I am betting EVERYONE is a similar boat here and there.
The bottom line is: Some group is always partially, or fully getting screwed part, if not all of the time. What they have is not working, and I hope they do something better for Elite 2.

Personally , anything before 6 PM EST on a Friday is lousy, Saturday could be a bit later as well. 9-12 AM EST would be nice and the same for Sunday. MOST of my CLAN is made up of firefighters w/ families our shifts rule out 2-5 PM games 6 out of every 8 games and miss out on 6-9 Ops 4 out of every 8 games due to our rotating work schedule. We also come from all over the USA, from Boston to Alaska...
SERIOUSLY..... just spread them out , rotate the times around so the same time doesnt fall on the same day every friggin week. Stop trying to appeal to the World... Why not have separate USA Clan Ops and have separate UK , Australia, Asia Etc.. BEACHHEAD change the days and times...Its BROKEN....
