EVE General Discussion

The Jump Clone timer is very restrictive and penalizes players who do not schedule their life around eve.
Logging in 30min later one night and jumping to empire means not you are not able to jump back that play session or the next one. You are out of commission for 2 play sessions rather than one if there is a variance in your log in times. That is assuming you immediately jump clone. You also are out for 2 play sessions if you JC part way though a play session.

By reducing the Jump clone timer to 22h or 30min per infomorph level you still ensure that only one jump can occur per play session. However by next play session most players will be able to jump and play as they wish.

Currently jumping to empire to conduct some business, run incursions, missions, train newer players or anything else effectively takes 2 play sessions.

Could we please get this updated?

Yeah really.. if you are going to ask them to change it, make it 8 or 12 hrs .. not 22

Makes sense. Reason why PI originally had a 23 hour cycle before you could actually cancel. You would just end up swapping out later and later in the day with 24 hours. Hard to maintain a proper 24hour schedule, specially with work or school and sleep in-between.

Even 23 hours would be an improvement.

Make jump cloning timer be 1 hour plz :)

The point, its a schedule crawl that cant be avoided day after day. You will always lose a minute if not more. Eventually screwing up a whole day of play time due to schedule overlapping real life. Troubling for those that travel between clones often (as in daily).
Now I don't move that much myself. Far from it. Yet this seems an appropriate 10000 papercuts issue.
20 to 23 hour wait still plenty of down time from hopping quickly everywhere. Slower than a super fleet going across the universe for sure.

+1

i think it should 16 hours.
jump into clone to pvp or w/epossibly on the other side of the universe
get finished, penatly for clone jump is usually no implants, or implants meant for combat not learning skills faster. ok fine
next day... still going on so either you go pvp, or try to pve or do something else while u wait.

now lets say you were on a pvp roam and you finished and went to bed immediatly
you would have to stay up until you normally go to bed just to jump back to normal clone or be stuck for another day at slower training, it might not seem like much but i its a weekly occurence it adds up.
either way shorter jump timers = better.

I like the idea of a 36 hour jump clone timer myself.

Think about how long it takes you to recover from a heavy party. The next day you are nursing a hangover, the day after you start feeling better, it is not until the day after that you finally get back to a proper sleep schedule.

Oh, and add drawbacks which reduce the potency of all implant/hardwiringss and boosters by 20% for 4 hours. Jump clones are for people who plan tomorrow's activities, not those who see some shinier and more interesting thing to do right now.

It makes a MUCH bigger difference than you'd think. As is, anyone who jumps around frequently will find their timer being pushed later and later into the night unless they religiously log in at the same time. Some of us have lives.

Free jumps every 24h. Charge extra proportional to the time remaining for extra jumps within 24h.
