Can we not do Military Time?

[VISVIM]

I know how annoying it is to not be able to figure out instantaneously what time it is as you read the time but why don't you think of it as a way of expanding your mind and learning something new. You never know how it could help you in the future. You'd be surprised at how many professions (not to mention cultures) other than the military use that clock.

I even purposely put my phone clock as a 24 hour one so I could learn it because I hated feeling so stupid for not being able to know the time whenever someone used the 24 hour clock. Now it's a lot easier for me.

Just because you see it as cumbersome to read the 24 hour clock doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.

i'd rather keep it, nobody has any doubts that 00:00 is midnight and 12:00 is mid-day, but in different places and even different people in the same place sometimes can't agree what 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM are.

hell, full "military" (AKA universal) time is even better, but it does take some getting used to.

[Marky]

I vote we keep it. 24 hour time is way less confusing than 12 hour time anyway. It takes most people less than a second to convert it anyway. It you take more than 10 seconds... well. Muricans

Also please change skill descriptions to use feet instead of meters. Most Americans I party with don't know the range of their skills.

I think it's dumb. We're gamers not army mens/womens. Just stick to PST/EST etc...

Or you could like, ya know, not be a dumbshit and actually try to learn it, it might be a useful skill in the future once the World War 3 has ended between US/Russia/North Korea.

Thank you for clearing my doubts

I'm failing to understand why military time is a big problem.

No one said it was, which is why you're failing to understand why military time is a big problem.

I think it's a refreshing thing to use. Just consider it a universal way of reading time, and it'll be handy during those once-in-a-while moments.

[Yaya]

I'll forward the feedback.

Thank you!

And it's not even real military time zone.

They use PST and EST, but not UTC offset.

And on some event pages they forgot to list some tzs, too

[MonD]

it is. Nursing is an example.

[BowieSage]

Yeah, it's honestly not that widely taught in the U.S.

Only reasons I really knew about it was 1) at least two of my uncles were in the military, so it was only natural that I'd learn about military time as some point, and 2) M*A*S*H is one of my favorite television series. Along with a few other moments, I had enough exposure to military time to eventually figure out how it worked. I don't always like when it's used outside of military-focused situations, but I can still understand what's being mentioned. Only real issue for me is remembering how the timezones differ (I'm Central Time, which is almost never mentioned outside of the time zone, so I have to remember the difference from other timezones to figure out event times).

Not here in the States. To be honest, I don't believe I ever saw it used during any of my years in education. I pretty much learned it from video games.

[ItsPrimeTime]

They really should make it PST/EST and AM/PM to be honest... Military time is quite bizarre when this is the only game that uses it.
