AION 2 reset and Rift times in CET / CEST
For players in Germany, Poland, France, Hungary, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Czechia. CET / CEST is 8 hours behind the server clock, and the server clock does not move for daylight saving — so the times below are listed in both standard and daylight time.
The schedule in CET / CEST
| Event | Standard time | Daylight time |
|---|---|---|
| Daily reset | 08:00 | 09:00 |
| Weekly reset (Wednesday) | 08:00 | 09:00 |
| Spacetime Rift gate (every 3 h) | 18:00 (Tue), 21:00 (Tue), 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00 | 19:00 (Mon), 22:00 (Mon), 01:00, 04:00, 07:00, 10:00, 13:00, 16:00 |
| Rift Contest (Mon, Thu, Fri) | 12:05, 15:05 | 13:05, 16:05 |
CET / CEST observes daylight saving, which is why the two columns differ by an hour. Times are wall clock in CET / CEST. A day in brackets means the event lands on a different day locally than on the server clock.
CET / CEST: common questions
It lands at 08:00 in CET / CEST during standard time, and 09:00 during daylight saving time. CET / CEST is 8 hours behind the server clock, and the server clock does not change for DST — your local clock does.
Weekly content resets on the same tick as the daily reset, so 08:00 on Wednesday in CET / CEST during standard time, and 09:00 during daylight saving time.
The gate opens every 3 hours for 15 minutes. In CET / CEST that is 18:00 (Tue), 21:00 (Tue), 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, 15:00 in standard time and 19:00 (Mon), 22:00 (Mon), 01:00, 04:00, 07:00, 10:00, 13:00, 16:00 in daylight time.
