I like the first two ideas. I voted yes on them. They will be helpful once I am able to play again (currently banned) and the ideas are implemented. The 3rd one I voted "I wouldn't use this feature" but now that I think about it, I think it could be helpful too. No way to change my vote though, is there?
Like Gomez said, that's all you have to do =p
I like the steady feedback we're getting, but I wish the people who said no actually gave solid reasoning as to why they don't like it - unless they do that, their votes aren't really considered "strongly opposed" to the ideas.
Anyway, as of right now with only 6.45% of people saying they wouldn't like these ideas, when can it be put in Hoof? ![]()

I'll agree to that. Default to midnight, if you want to specify then they are able to. (Though the assigned reset would need to take place 24 hours after the selection is made).
I was going to add that to my message, too, but I forgot while typing my wall ![]()

Uhhhh your the one asking about the KISS principle? Google it. It does indeed mean Keep It Simple Stupid... o_O
Oh. I didn't get it at first :| I hate acronyms when people expect you to get them D:

Keep it simple silly. But more popularly known as keep it simple stupid.
Keep it on topic, guys
Even though you two are entertaining <3
Also, if anyone could go around advertising to their friends about this thread, I'd really appreciate it. I want more opinions on this than what we have =)

Here's an example that you may want to consider.
In this example, I would like to hunt at 17:00 FST and this hunt I will not be using Sacrifice. So I go about my business, hunting and slaying some creatures, breaking down items and gaining gold and then I am finished. My gold count when the hunt is finished is approximately 5.5 million and the time is about 17:45. Using your argument, my resets would have been reset about 17 hours ago at midnight so I would be able to deposit this sum of cash into the guild bank (where I do my deposits)... but wait, all that cash isn't gone, I still have a huge amount of gold. And my reset doesn't reset for another 7 hours! I might get hit in a PvP attack and lose it all!
Now, using my argument, I could set my reset time for 18:00 FST, do my hunt starting at 17:00 FST and finish before the hour is up, then be able to deposit the first set of deposits and then once the clock hits 18:00, I will be able to do another round of deposits. Granted there is still a small window between then and the reset so there is a possibility that I will get hit, but there is less of a chance since the time is a fraction of what it would have been had it reset at midnight.
As you can see, there are times where you want/have to deposit right after the reset.
Gomez.
I understand your point fully, and I do support the option - but the real question is: How long would it take to implement your spin on my idea?
How about this, then? Depending on the amount of time it takes to code this new addition, my idea could be implemented first as a quick fix and yours could be implemented later - though, even though I can see the possible benefit to your idea, you would only be able to do that once every two days (but, of course, you don't hunt every single day like I do due to max stam gain and 1850 or so max stam without epics/relic).
Your idea could benefit higher level players by being able to use two quick sets of bank deposits (doesn't affect composing all too much, but you could do two quick batches as well as deposit if you timed it well) which I can most definitely see the advantage. The problem is, would HCS want to add this feature, and how long would it take?
My proposition for this new idea if it's to be added (as I actually do like it): Have the bank deposits and composing instant finishes reset at midnight by default and add an option in your preferences to change the time for both bank deposit resets and composing instant finish resets - two separate options. That way, less information is stored on the HCS servers (hopefully) by having everyone default to 00:00 ST.
I'm going to add a new poll to this discussion thread, please vote on that one, too everyone! (I think you have to delete your votes and revote? I'm new to the forums so I don't know! :x)

Being able to set your own reset time would require extra coding and results in the same thing as resetting at midnight ST - you don't need to use up your deposits/instant finishes right when it resets, there's no point in doing that if you know when it's going to reset and you know you can deposit/instant finish before the reset.

i lose time as it is as i have what is more commonly referred to as a life outside of Fallensword. If the ticker resets after a period of 24 hours i know it will reset at a point when i can be online as i will not be away from my computer at work or whatever. I am asleep at midnight generally, or if not I am likely to be out so resetting at midnight holds no earth while value to me nor to anyone else. You do not see my point at all, which is very basic, it is called being able to plan my instant completions. If I do my instant completions at say 5:30pm then i know the next day I can repeat the same practice each day. As to providing more experience I just do not see this at all...
I like to plan my days and i am very well organised so it resetting at the point i finished instant buying potions actually works a lot better for me. I can put a note in my phone and i am set.
Davros, I don't even understand how you're not understanding me >.< Can we take this to PMs on FS so as to not clutter the thread so much as well as faster responses?

a ticker would e the simplest solution, resetting at midnight, why is that so wonderful seeing as you wish to call me out on this? how is it resetting at midnight a great fix for all, I see no benefit in that myself I would much prefer it to reset 24 hours after i have purchased my first instant finish, this way I can track it a lot more easily. Midnight is hopeless for me as I am generally as sleep then as I do have a life outside of Fallensword.
You are fairly new to the forums but I would make a suggestion, do not personally target people in the forums, it can be misconstrued as a personal attack or flame, just a hint for future postings
I'm sorry if you took it that way, but I was only meaning to understand you and hopefully have you understand me. The fact that you were in the minority in your opinion made me seek your opinion - I don't see how that can be considered targeting or a personal attack/flame in any sense.
The point of this idea isn't about being online when it resets, it's about not losing time and keeping the resets on track every day. There would be zero difference for you - you could use the reset at the same day every day if *you* wanted to and it wouldn't change a thing. However, you wouldn't lose instant finishes due to the timer progressing more that day than the previous day.
For example: Monday: Instant finish at 15:31:05 Tuesday: 15:31:40 Wednesday: 15:32:30 <- after following a pattern like this, you'll eventually lose an entire 24 hours meaning you lose an entire day's worth of creating potions. This idea makes it more efficient for you as well as everyone else in the game - and this is a cold hard fact that can't be challenged or disputed due to the nature of my example.
To throw in another example: Say you really like to do your composing potions early on in the day (ST), so you do your potions at 8 ST. Your instant finishes will reset at 00:00 regardless of whether you're there or not and you can do them at 8 ST or whenever you care to. Then, they'll reset again at 00:00. You aren't constrained to the time of day to do your potions, you can do them whenever you feel like it once per day.
This is how it should have been from the start, in my opinion, and over the long haul it's a much simpler system and provides more experience to the players.

Either have a ticker til next reset or have the reset at midnight.. both ways will make banking and composing more convenient.
I agree, but you still lose time with a physical countdown timer as you can't instant finish four potions (the amount I do per day) instantly. I can't think of a single downside to a midnight reset, which is what I'm mainly trying to find.

i would prefer a counter to say when my instant completions reset just like the current system notifies you of when your bank deposits reset.
Davros, as you're the only one who has shown to have a disliking of these ideas, why not elaborate on what causes you to dislike them?
I'll throw in a situation that one might be in:
My bank deposits/composing instant finishes reset at 15:00 but I'm not going to get enough money to deposit/instant finish potions until 18:00 that day, so I wait for three hours and go about my business then at that time. That basically means that I would have lost three hours of either activity forever. I would never be able to get back that three hours and would have to wait until 18:00 the next day to deposit/instant finish once again.
However, with the "new system" I'm suggesting, you gain your reset at 00:00 and no matter when you bank or instant finish, you'll never lose deposits/instant finishes per day/week/month/year/decade (let's hope FS goes for another few decades
)
What's your opinion when put into this perspective, Davros?

So far, I've seen only yes or no preference answers. As shown by this poll thus far (trying hard to get more people to vote - and vote honestly) people either would want these updates or wouldn't be bothered by them either way. Keep up the voting everyone, and maybe HCS will take these ideas into consideration =)

I absolutely agree with both suggestions. Initially, every timer in fs was set for independent, character-specific resets, but HCS finally found a way to make a uniform reset for gold upg's at 0:00. I am all in favor of adjusting EVERY timer for 0:00 in the game. Makes things a lot simpler (at least for the casual or semi-pro player, definitely, not sure about the 24/7'ers though) for players, and as far as I'm aware, this could free up(remove) multiple char-specificationally important slots in the database, perhaps somewhat adding to speed.
And of course, I find it a bit more convenient.
Thanks for the feedback =) A lot of points that I didn't even delve into in my thoughts, but I must say I agree with everything you said.

or have a feature that shows you when your instant finishes reset just like it shows you when your bank deposits reset.
I agree this could alleviate the problem slightly, but I think bank deposits need to reset at 00:00 as well, as then you'll never lose bank deposits/year essentially.

So, I've been getting into composing a lot (especially after completing the first stash global event) and I always instant finish four 20 XP potions every day just to progress that little bit faster.
The thing is, though, is that the timer for the instant finish keeps getting further and further away from it once was. The timer will and does reset during a potion's creation, and you lose seconds at the very least from having to buy the potions, set up the next one, etc. In my case, I lose minutes and sometimes an hour or more if I don't notice when it last reset essentially losing an entire day eventually once it reaches the point where I can't stay up to instant finish a batch of potions.
So, my idea is such: Have the instant finish timer reset at midnight server time just like the max stamina gold upgrades resulting in a 24 hour reset like it says in the description of the instant finish feature.

Makubrex, have you tried multiple tabs?
The way it's set up, you need to have it in a separate tab/window already anyway to keep your attention constantly on the chat while doing your everyday Fallen Sword activities.
I'll just go ahead and assume you didn't read my entire post. So, any opinions on my idea?

I don't know if this has been suggested yet, but my initial thought when seeing the guild chat made me desire the ability to pop out the chat into its own window with nothing but the chat there (Sort of like Twitch's chat).
The way it's set up, you need to have it in a separate tab/window already anyway to keep your attention constantly on the chat while doing your everyday Fallen Sword activities. Being able to pop out the global chat would also be something I would use personally and I think it would result in more people wanting to use these new chat services.
Any opinions on my own? =)
