buying ba (in New players)

reading the wiki it says you should get more to buy at midnight server time. if thats the case why didnt i get any last night? reading the wiki i found the server time appears to be est. am i wrong there?

its midnight server time or shortly there after, currently its 3:43pm server time, my time zone its actually 4:43

ok thats about what i thought so then shouldnt i have gotten more ba to buy about 15-16 hours ago?

Server Time is Eastern Standard Time. Cache Flush is at 12am at which time BA Recycles and Can once again be bought.

Rephrase BA Recycles at 12am, Cache Flush is at 4am

ok so why am i not able to buy more ba then?

Are you translating to Server Time(EST)?

really? yes as stated above i thought server time was est. midnight est has already passed since yesterday. i did not recieve any new ba i could buy. i am 2 hours behind server time so i should have recieved some last night if i was still playing or there should have been some to buy this morning when i started playing 7am est.

So you're mountain time? Did you happen to buy BA after 10pm and not read the wiki until after that? That's my only explanation.

Basically wait till 10pm tonight and see if you get your BA

Ok Let's Back track by Numbers then Have you fought EVERY fight you possibly could today? If so then you should only have 720 fights total at 12:01 Server time. If you have more than this (924) then you bought AFTER the recycle time for BA.

could it be cause i just started yesterday? also while reading the wiki i see you can build up 1600 ba to buy? does that mean if i do not buy it it will accumulate to 1600 i can buy or does that mean i can buy but not use it and accumulate it upto 1600?

i have been playing for aprox 24 hours now so i should have had my starting 300 i think it was plus 240 i could buy plus 720 accumulated plus and additional 240 i could have gotten at midnight.

atm i am about 300 shy of that. i didnt accumulate any points while i was above 160 and that was for a little while between fighting time and reading the wiki.

You can accumulate 1600 BA yes BUT this is truthfully best for New Character Bonus NOT New User Bonus accounts. You will lose a lot of potential experience by not fighting right now.

As far as the BA we will just have to see since it is a work in progress from our side. If an Admin got involved though this could be settled immediately.....lol

Ok 160 is the max ba you can automatically stock up to before it will stop regenerating based on your X/20 (you're in 10/20 so you regen 10 BA every 20 minutes), you can buy BA and store up to 1600 ba (only good for NCB runs only really) but like I said earlier you wont automatically regen BA every 20 minutes once you hit 160.

i was just curious im trying to use them up asap now. thanks for the help :)

ahh i see thats what the 1600 store up is good for. i was wondering why anyone would want to do that.

Well 930 Fights so you bought BA after midnight server time.

pretty sure something doesnt add up somewhere since i should ha e had 300 starting + 240 starting to buy + 240 at midnight + 720 for a day + a little more since its been sligbtly longer then 4 2 err 24 hours which would put me around 1540. and im at 1300 looks like im missing 240.

and im pretty sure i didnt stay at +160 for 8 or so hours

laz yes you are missing 240 that means you did not get to buy your BA until after Midnight. This is not a new phenomenon, we have all had it happen before. Timing it so close to the recycle time that we were actually over instead of under even if by only a few seconds. Lesson to be learned try to get to it 15 minutes ahead of time instead of right at the recycle time.
