The current jumpclone cooldown is 24h. This leads to a delay if you need to jump daily of some minutes. Sometimes you dont manage to login in time, so its maybe even an hour. This adds up until you can't really login anymore (during night etc) basically loosing a day.

So I propose for us who jump daily to reduce it to 23h to compensate for this.

Of course reducing it to even less woud make Eve a more flexible and elastic place.

He's saying it leads to timezone creep for the jump timer.

Day 1: Log in at 11:55, Activate at 12:00
Day 2: Log in at 12:00, Activate at 12:15
Day 3: Log in at 13:00, Activate at 13:05
Day 4: Log in at 11:55, Cannot activate until 13:06
Day 5: Log in at 12:00. Cannot activate until 13:07

There is no way to nudge it back down to your original time without skipping an entire day, so if CCP wants people to be able to jump once per day, it really should be down to 23h or 23:30 timer.

I don't really have this problem myself, but it seems like an obvious usability fix - this is not so much a disadvantage as it is a bit silly and annoying.

Do the opposite. Increase it to 28 hours so that jumping daily isn't a viable option.

Let me explain. Assume I jump 19:00 in the eveing every day.

I won't be able to do this on the minute, so it creeps back in time by 5-15 minutes every day, sometimes even longer.

So at some point I am only able to jump at midnight or later, or not at all because I am asleep, basically missing one day.

So in order to jump consistently every day the cooldown needs to be 23h.


I would love to have it even shorter but I guess that wishful thinking.

if i get what you're trying to say, if you try to clone jump when you come of work/ school/ what ever, at say 17:30 and need to jump, you loose some time login in and jumping ... after some days, you're avatar availability to clone jump is delayed for a considerable time.

shorting the clone jump time availability for a bit makes sense, as it would give you time to catch up with you're RL schedule . +1

Some people play the game, not schedule whole life around it.


Even if you time it to the same minute, a delay will still cause it to creep forward in time.

Reduce it to 18 hours.

I log onto eve on an op night, at around 16:00 **** around in home systems for an hour, eat then Clone Jump to the current deployment area at 20:00. I have to leave it so late as there is nothing for me to do solo at the deployment areas (we use corp ships etc, so bringing personal fits for PvE is not viable). This is all well and good, but I can't log on at 16:00 the next day like I normally do, instead ive gotta wait for 20:00 for my clone to jump back home and get to play the game.

an 18 hour timer prevents constant jumping and twice daily jumping whilst allowing gaming sessions to be split between two places!

Totally suported.


I would also wish for a shorter timer, but i supose that 23 hours is fine enough.

Everyother place i saw a "daily timer" it usually defaults to 23 hours.

24 hours makes no sense, because you know, "life".

I'd even be happy with 23 hours 30 mins, just give us some fllexibility to jump daily without the inevitable creep forward.

Really.... Why do we need to JC every day????

What, you can't be asked to fly, in a flying in space game???

JC's are one of the reasons EvE is sooo small.... I hardly think you need to encourage more JC'ing.... If anything, quite the opposite!!!
