Suggestion: Consistent and Uniform Timer Resets

While this isn't a "new" request, I wanted to get this down in a concise manner in the suggestion forum.

Timers for rewards should not be on a per character/per time basis. What I mean by that is there should be a set specific time rewards reset regardless of when you engaged in content. Juggling post its for every character... especially in such an alt centric game... is honestly a nightmare.

For example: Weekly rewards such as SSA's should reset every tuesday at say 8am PST. No matter when you engaged in the content the time and day would always be consistent for the reset.

Another example: Daily rewards such as those for Dark Astoria should reset every day at at say 3am PST. Having to watch and keep track of multiple timers is just silly.

It would just be much less hassle if there was a uniform lockout timer for each reward.

Can't you just draw up a simple roster? Like 'these toons' am, 'these toons' pm?

I think OP has a good idea. The only thing that might be better would be a way to see all timers currently affecting a character. Perhaps in the character's info window we could have a tab that lists all the timers, just like we have information about alignment missions and pvp stats.

LOL, this happens all the time. I made a post about this not to long ago and a bunch of wonderful people came in to tell me how they have their spreadsheets set up for their 50-60 alts etc... yeah it was cool...NOT!

Devs for the love of the baby seals can we get some "in-game" help with this like the progression bars for badges. Pretty please with sugar on top.

....walks away knowing he will be ignored by devs and told by the wonderful people how great spreadsheets are or stop complaining etc....

Of course character stats on the login screen would be great however it would severly lag the login server.

Eh...

I don't mind per character timers. I would, however, like to SEE them.

The OP"s got a good idea. I've seen it work in other games quite well, and it would eliminate a lot of the guesswork that goes into my trial runs.

This is also a good idea. Just as long as I am not shooting in the dark for when I'll get emp merits.
