WST updated?

Didn't notice if servers went down. Is there a good way to find out whether the WST is udpated? Usually, it's posted on global channels, but those are as reliable as the users that type in the gmotd.

Thanks!

According to Paragon Wiki, it's currently Eden / Ice Mistral. The wiki folk keep a schedule of WST on the front page:

If the global channels haven't changed, just means someone hasn't got around to updating them yet.

The servers don't go down when they change the WST. It just changes at the right time. I don't recall the exact time but, since I work normal hours, I know it's updated before I get home. I think it's somewhere in the 6-9 AM EST range.

Actually typically a lot of things go live about midnight on Tuesday. It's just the usually do the live publish at 4 am and things get brought back. Though since the WST is just a reward flag it probably doesn't require a live publish.

The WST update isn't until later in the morning though. I think 9am PST. It doesn't get flipped at midnight like the Paragon Market stuff.

Thanks, I am more inclined to believe someone would update the MOTDs before they were up as opposed to not being current. I do use pwiki for the schedule as well.

I guess what I didn't know is whether there's an independent way to determine the WST from an official source (not global channels or pwiki, but coh.com for example)? And not just the date ranges, but when they are actually enabled.

Maybe it doesn't require a server downtime, but if not, I assume they would be effective around midnight. I remember a while back there were issues with WSTs updating and people would do them and get no credit.

[Edit: should've refreshed before posting, but looks like the questions were answered above. Thanks all.]

The ParagonWiki article on Weekly Strike Targets has an external link to the official post that they update monthly with the next month's list. They have never given a time of day, it just switches over at some point during the morning.

The external link to the official update post is here, btw.

Annoyingly, no.

Actually, according to your link, it's "around" 8am central time.

Exactly. "Some point during the morning". It has been as early as 7am and as late as 9:30. So yeah. They don't give an actual time of day. It's whenever someone gets in to flip the switch. (Or more likely, to poke a flag in some database.)

By the way, Agge, the Market doesn't change at a certain time -- both from my experience and from what Jesse (Ghost Falcon) indicated at the Pummit, he has to log into some system and do it himself (he said that he had to log in on Thanksgiving, for instance -- to enable the Black Friday sale, I'd assume). I've observed the Market changing as early as 9-10 Pacific on Monday evenings, as late as 1-2 Tuesday mornings, and a couple of times not at all as late as I was willing to stay up (past 2:30 AM-ish).
