General / Off-Topic Daily tick.

Don't predict the tick!

The tick doesn't exist

- according to FD. ;)
Was it on one of the FAQ streams? Anyway on one stream a FD dev explained the tick and that it doesn't exist and how the "tick, that doesn't exist" works.

I think the "BGS-tick" is affected by the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. You can observe the time of the tick, but not the effect of the tick - or the effect of the tick but not the time :)
 
Used to be Saturdays at 9 AM, but I don't think it airs anymore. I got the 1st season DVDs if you want to borrow them.

Ok, does it randomly move about?

As it doesn't exist it can't move around :D

Keeping the quantum physics metaphor: the tick is a stationary wave that has a chance to manifest itself as an effect-particle. Without interference the creation of the effect-particle happens roughly at the same time everyday. But the BGS overlords at FD like to interfere with the BGS-tick-wave.

(It happens roughly at the same time, but that time is know to be different form time to time depending on what FD did in the background of the BGS)
 
It's now between 20:00 - 21:00 UTC Game time, usually looking at outcomes after 21:00 means thy're there, after 2.3 it'll likely shift again

WHY IS THIS OFF-TOPIC ?!!!!

oh my..... guys....

seriously.
There seems to be TWO Ticks.
One around 14:30 Game time (f.e. changing warzone states to cease fire) and one between 19:00 and 21:00 Game time (f.e. manually changed faction stati and percentages)

I hate Ticks, my owner just does not understand, why I don't want to fetch the ball from the long grass.

No one can, until experiences... :D
But you know what? Sometimes is just better to belíve it. ;)
