Working in EU = almost no races :(

I played a while in closed beta and also did some races back then which were pretty fun (races could also have been in open beta cant remember). So coming back to PoE after the official release i was looking forward to season 5, especially after seeing some of the rewards :)

But looking at the times of the new races it doesn't seem i'll be doing a lot of them. Next week for example i can only do 3 races that are in my playing window just because i work from 9 to 5 :(

If you also take in consideration that some races are not so noob friendly (Cutthroat for instance) then it doesn't look like i'm getting much points this season and may just not start at all :(

What i can remember from previous season there were like 2 or even 3 races in 1 evening i could try. I just hope we can get a scheduele more like that, that's all :)
completely agree. if you can't participate in the 5p.m. cet race (almost guaranteed with a day job) you can participate in 1/20th of the races.

its sad
Also please leave your feedback on the Europe needs more races in the evening thread.

I've been posting about this issue for each of the the last 4 seasons and GGG doesn't seem to be listening when only few people posts about it, so please voice your opinion there.
No longer a forum dweller, please use PM for contact purposes.
agree :/ Races mostly take place when i have to go sleep to get up in the morning to work OR when im in work... sucks

I'm in the UK and have a job so I am heavily affected by the new race times. The only realistic slot I can enter is 8PM GMT (9PM CET), with the 11PM GMT (12AM CET) slot being a push, and even then only if it is a 1hr.

I realise that you can't please everyone, all of the time, but this seems really extreme. I remember we used to have a 6PM and 10PM GMT slots...those were great!

I've just had a look and it looks like I can only enter 1, maybe 2, party races Mon-Fri between now and the end of the season. Great.
