I don't particularly care where it's placed, but we really could use a counter telling us how many days remain on a dual-character training PLEX. Possible places include:

  • Login Screen
  • Character Sheet, Pilot License Tab
  • Account Management Website

you have timer for ability to extend dual-training (add another plex), add 7 days and you'll get expire time.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

That, my friend, is not a timer; it's guess work. Yes, I can write on a sticky note or set a reminder on my calendar that I PLEXed dual-training on day X and then apply a PLEX within seven days of that date. However, I am asking for a visual countdown similar to the skill in training counter.

Perhaps CCP can be motivated by cold hard cash. You missed 2.5 days of my RL cash because I was uncertain when the dual-training ran out. Unlike EVE, RL gets busy and time IS money.

+1. Especially if you have more than one account, keeping track of the dual training could get annoying fast.

+1 this should have been included in the original implementation of dual character training.

I have to +1 this.

I'm currently training a freighter pilot and I forgot which day I started, I have a rough idea but I'm not sure exactly when time is up. I was looking for some kind of clock/countdown timer/etc and couldn't find one. Kind of annoying as I would like to know just how much I can squeeze in before time runs out.

-edit-

OP, you should link this thread to
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=285712&p=3
and explain it there. It is a feedback thread for the new character select screen and while they are redoing it now is a good time to implement a new feature or two into it.

Managing plex on 7 characters is a pain in the ass, especially when you don't remeber how much plex is already on one.

CCP Please implement this :D.

The character selection screen is a good place to put "time until renewal" for items such as accounts and timed special offers.

The Pilot's License tab of the character sheet is a blindingly obvious place to put account renewal and dual-character-training renewal notices.

Thanks for the recommendation, did it!

And CCP, FWIW you just lost 10 hours of PLEX time from me again. I know its a drop in the bucket of your overall income, but every penny counts or you'd be charging be in round numbers instead of change for my subscribed accounts!

The usual CCP, incomplete features.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.
