Let's Set Up Regular Gathering Times

OK, the Knight Bus is pretty empty if there's not an event.
Let's set up regular times throughout a 24-hour period where we log on and find people to play with. Say, every four hours, starting at 0400 Pacific Time, then 0800, noon, 1600 (4pm), 2000 (8pm), midnight. So, 4, 8, 12 twice a day on 12-hour clock.
This would accommodate players in all parts of the world. Yes, we all have to figure out what time it is in California, but we do that anyway when we play events.
Who's in this with me? I will faithfully open the Knight Bus every four hours when I'm awake. Please join me.

Theres believed to be 60 bus instances and each time u hop in and out and back in again u have a certain % of going into any of them including the 1 u were in before. Additionally u cant see ppl in the bus unless ppl are in the 2mins countdown and have less than 5 ppl in lobby, so there can be 200 ppl in same instance seeing empty buses wondering where everyone is bc no ones in a lobby, lol.
And thats w/o fsctoring in timezones and work/school schedules etc.
Its a nice concept but it has a lot of barriers preventing it from happenning imho.
the best is making a "passanger list" where everyone gather. and every each player making/entering the chamber then the server making chamber instance. or something like that.
if there are multiple knight bus server it could divide like (EU/NA/ASIA/AUS/else) which all player could freely choose/move.
noooo if they separate ppl by continent im done, all of my kb friends are not from the EU lol.
😅
I just remembered how a different game I used to play woulld handle this.
When you initially go to a loby you see a list of instances and how many people are in each. Each instance has a limit to how many can join before you need an invite to join it and a higher hard limit when nobody can be invited. You can also create a new instance if there are none or all are full. If an instance is empty, it is destroyed. That would work well for HPWU KB, I think.
This is a most difficult task as you cannot see who is online in WU. Have no actual friends who play the game so there is that. Just wing it though would be great. My biggest concern issue in higher chambers when 3-4 there then suddenly gone after starting the challenge. Clearly they planned and think amusing as about 0 better going on in their lives. Now don't care and leave unless one of your last event rune stones or THE last to finish. This has been addressed previously but I have names and so do others. Should be taken into consideration and given a day to three day time out you arsehollles.
