is the 20 hour timer the best little detail in CoX or what?

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
He's saying that he like the bit of wiggle room 20 hour cooldown over 24 hour provides. I like the fact I can log out and claim later after the cooldown
Yes.

Actually I HATE the 20 hour cool downs on the various items in the game with the intensity of 100 million Suns.
So NO!
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Yes... but if there HAS to be a cooldown (I'm not saying there does... but if it has to be there) the 20 hour one is amazingly superior to a 24 hour one. And not just because it is shorter, but for exactly the reason mentioned in the OP.

Once per calendar day would be superior. Even with the 20 hour timer if you do it Friday night (after work) you can't do it Saturday morning or afternoon. Once per calendar day it wouldn't matter what time you did it on the previous day.
Alright everybody just needs to cooldown, okay? For 20 hours or so.

Or UTC, since it is the "universal" time.

This way you do't have to know which day it's using (and it would be server side)

A better detail than that would be for all cool downs to reset at a specific time so we wouldn't have to keep sticky notes around for the exact time each and every toon did something -_-|

So if you play around the same time each day, no need to know exactly when you did it. You can do the blockbuster each night around 7-11 and it will be unlocked. it's the sort of minor detail that makes such a big difference. Is there any other minor detail that is better? |
I'd much rather all "daily" cool downs reset at midnight PDT and all weekly cool downs reset on Tuesdays at midnight PDT

The timer should always be random, and set a limit between 25 and 49 hours.

I don't mind the 20 hour cool down. If I game Friday nights and decide to get on Saturday I just do other stuff besides tfs/trials until I am sure my 20 hours has lapsed.
I wouldn't mind a personalized once per calendar day cooldown. Instead of some timezone I may or may forget about.. just make the "timer" once per calendar day per player.
