    World Boss teams in Heaven Palace?

    Among the other undocumented changes with the latest patch, the time of the snapshot for teams to appear in Heaven Palace seems to have changed. Now, it's always been pretty silly to me that the time for arena rewards to be given is the same as the start of Cerberus each morning. The teams used for world bosses are very different than those that are optimized for PVP, and if someone wanted to wait and steal an arena slot just before ten by attacking someone's cerb team, they easily could.

    This week, in Heaven Palace, I see my Cerb team instead of the team I wanted to put there. Did the time of the "snapshot" change, because I have never seen a world boss team, from myself or anyone else, show up in the Palace, since it's supposed to be a PVP event it's really silly to take someone's team from a world boss event. It does make a modicum of sense to lock in arena teams from the time that rewards are locked in for the last day, the problem there being that time doesn't make sense in the first place with respect to the Cerberus event.

    Did anyone else notice unusual happenings setting up for Heaven Palace? Many players on my server (6) did.

    I talked with a player that is in HP and she told me that the configuration that is there is the one she changed to when Baal or Cerb is in 'last hit' mode and changes it back as soon as they are killed. This means that the probably took the snapshot when either Baal or Cerb died.

    Its definitely Cerb then, because mine was not WB mode this week and I missed Cerb so my formation would have been my usual one. I'll have to keep that in mind.

    Mine is not my "last hit" team, but my normal fight team. I'm not positive whether I bothered to change forms for Cerb yesterday; I don't always bother. Also, that could mean it was the team that was in place when the boss died -- which would be really, really odd -- or it could mean the snapshot was taken at a particular time. I have been changing my team for Heaven Palace but fighting the world bosses normally, sure to be back to the Palace team before 11:00, and in weeks past that has worked fine.

    It may not be Cerb but Baal. Can any one that is in HP and had different formations at the end of Cerb and Baal on Friday verify what was used?

    The snapshot for HP is on Fridays, between a half hour after cerb fight and a half hour after baal fight. I have been in HP in both pvp and boss forms at different times, and the reason I am assuming it is between these times when the snapshot of the arenas is taken for HP is that I normally sort my formation 15 minutes before cerb and leave it as such until the end of baal then switch back immediately following last hit and baal rank rewards to have a proper pve/pvp form for the rest of the server day. When put in the HP, I then show up in boss formation. However, one Friday afternoon, in order to take care of a bothersome boat, I switched forms in between boss battles, back to pve/pvp form and did not switch back to boss forms in time to set up for baal that day. Saturday I was in in pve/pvp formation for HP.

    Unless they changed it since last week that is false. Snapshot has always been taken at midnight flip-over, and it's been the snapshot of whatever formation and power you used when you took (or were demoted to) the 1-4 spots. WE, on my server, always set our HP forms at about 10 PM ST. and then power back up right away.
