Whats the point of having a timer when its inaccurate ALL THE TIME. How has this not been fixed since launch? But no, please keep releasing more skins and useless things to take players money. Who wants a game that makes sense… i stg Blizzards had to hire bottom of the barrel since people found out its a S***T company to work for and it shows.
i thought the timer is accurate on other websites.
I’m talking about the timer in game. Which SHOULD be more accurate than the one on helltides .com seeing as ITS IN THE GAME. I swear part of updating and installing a patch involves getting to find out what fun new bug you get to experience and see how much this game will infuriate you.

Could you explain more? I am guessing I don’t see the issue on my server or realm. Is the timer spawning that is off? Or the timer in-game is still saying 10 minutes and Helltide ended? I am trying to connect as to what the issue is. Anyway, hopefully that is fix for your realm/server.
Idd it’s a small bug but it is still annoying and should be FIXED, the INGAME timer is off by around 42-40 secs (i have watched the timer several Helltides in a row), which can be the seconds between a 300 chest and loosing out! Blizz please address this.

The timer is based off your system’s clock.
I’ve tested this with a buddy who streamed his game on Discord and his was consistently 15 seconds off from mine. Mine was accurate to within 1 sec for events popping. We then compared our Windows clock, and his was 15 secs ahead of mine. Once he synced his time, his in-game timer started matching closer to the event timers.
Adjust your system time or sync it in your Date/Time settings.

I wouldnt even mind if it was consistent because i can then just take it into account and plan accordingly. Mine would sometimes be correct but it can fluctuate anywhere between 7 seconds to a minute 30 seconds. Its so frustrating
Seems like a longshot, but i’m actually gonna try this (even doh my time already auto syncs every day), but i noticed it’s Microsofts default NTP server (they r bad), i changed to a 1MS NTP in my country with an uptime of 100%, i shall try and see what happens.
And like Edgewood said, yeah ofc you can plan accordingly but yeah… it’s an annoyance.

Also does anybody know if helltides(dot)come also uses this same method? Cause their timer matches mine and it has the same issue. Am i missing something here? lol s my computer gaslighting me?
How bizzare, it actually worked!
After i changed NTP and synchronized the Helltide(dot)com website (after a refresh) synced within 2 seconds to the game and the Helltide ended on time (i stayed and waited to be sure).
