7am drop lasted for 6.822 secs.

BG's 1-20 called at 8:10am as part of the initial wave.

Not sure if you meant this or subtle lines for every y-axis tick (so every 2^n {3, 4, 5, ... 13})

Was thinking for linear spaced axis ticks to show how the bands change.. but it's so dramatic it's almost impossible.. like every 1000 wouldn't show any lines on the bottom half!

That 1pm distribution can't have been open longer than a few seconds. Might be the downtime from earlier causing issues.

Most likely... there was almost 2 1/2 hours this morning where no groups were called.

 

[gerarar]

1pm drop lasted for 5.126 secs.

Up to BG 59 called at 1pm, 18 less than yesterday.

(I wasn't expecting that at all...thus me checking and posting this late...)

 

[jrcoyne99]

Still a far better record than Rise of the Resistance.

Yeah, that would mean they probably had a very small number of afternoon BGs available compared to normal.

NOTE: The second drop went much quicker than the first drop. This is a first among ROTR, Rat, & CR (I'm pretty sure).

BG 152 is the last BG called for the day. This is 30 less than yesterday.

Honestly I'm impressed they were only 30 lower than yesterday given it sounds like there were almost 4 hours of groups not being called in total.

They could have made the afternoon groups smaller, although I'm not sure why they'd bother doing that.

Maybe if they were concerned about more downtime, I guess.

True, the system is fairly opaque in terms of actual capacity. Less people in the groups could also explain it filling a lot faster.

59 Groups @ 1pm with 2hr 8m uptime = ~2.16 minutes per group
93 Groups @ 8pm (?) with 5hr 54m uptime = ~3.80 minutes per group

Looking at the numbers the afternoon groups were taking longer than the morning groups, so not sure what to make of it all.

7am drop lasted for 5.575 secs.

What's the best way to ensure I get a 7AM?

Use my computer over my phone on home wifi?

Are there any specific tips and tricks besides spamming the button?

I've never done VQ before and don't want to miss out on my one shot (technically two)

It comes down to hitting the button at exactly 7am. Don't try to keep refreshing it during the minute before that. Use an atomic clock or Apple Watch etc. to verify timings.

Seems likely the wide socialization of the “come back anytime you want after your group is called” policy would cause that. Displaced morning group holders showing up later in the day slowing afternoon groups.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see that feature reigned in if the BG system stays in place for much longer.

Problem is... when you don't know what your group is going to be until you get a seemingly random number given to you with a not set time, they can't really restrict people to an hour. All guests are not planning on being there at 8am.

I got group 23 this morning, but I won't be able to get there till the afternoon.

So it’s probably more accurate to use an atomic clock as opposed to relying on your own device’s time?

Apple watches and phones are dead on atomic time these days. I use my apple watch (have a face I use that has the seconds) and I press refresh immediately at 7.

We always use time.gov even though my phone seems to be dead on, it's just what I find to work. Best is to have a separate device showing it that you can just watch while your finger is centered. Worked 3x last week (BG1 2x)
