They display hours now not sec

more details please.
Which keys? or is it all keys?

 

[Herman]

Both bedlam and prism of light keys show hours

Thesis notes stack lose timers

I was only at shimmer for a short time my guess is that it is for all peerless keys and the reason is because it changed from sec to hours

 

[Herman]

If the keys are on the same hour and of the same type they stack

I did figure out why keys loose timer it is related i keep it to my self maybe it stop some from abusing this can Pm if someone need to know

 

[Herman]

Tested dread horn keys some stack/lose timer other dont there aswell

and this is not only peerleess keys some of the quest items with timers also display in hours now i sure hope these dont loose timers then it will be so abused i even think there is Em items that are identical to some of these quest items

 

[Petra Fyde]

Could you re-post this with all the details in the bug tracking forum please? It's less likely to get lost in other threads there.

Noticed today that the arcane focus only shows hours and not seconds. When a 6 circle focus is cast it shows 9hrs then within a second changes to 8 hrs no seconds wheras before it would go 9 then 8.59, 8.58 etc

Maybe the problems are related? Anyone else noticed this on the focus?

Which client is this in? If EC - is it using Pinco's?

 

[MissEcho]

EC and Pinko's for me with arcane focus change.

they do it in cc too. i personally prefer the hours/minutes now instead of seconds.

Losing timer on stackable keys is an old bug been around for long time.

It seems that all things with timers got converted to hours with the latest publish.
(peerless keys, quest items, and arcane focus)

Please add minutes as well? I mean 1 hour gap time is kind of wide.... or just go with minutes?

 

[Gilmour]

the hour showing is a feature, not a bug.

 

[Herman]

If they would dropp timer on all peerless keys and add hours and minutes that would be an improvement this is not

This bug is new it came with last patch

I plac cc

 

[Gilmour]

I think it actually will show minutes if less than an hour left, can anyone confirm?

It still not a bug, but an intentional feature

 

[Herman]

It only show mintes when 1 hour left yes

That would explain alot to me about uo if this is what they intent

 

[Gilmour]

Then i don't see the problem whatsoever Normally one should think a gamer (who is not coder) would rather have in hours/minutes and not seconds.

It was a design flaw from the beginning that it was seconds. and now they finally corrected it, and people complain about it ? *puzzled*

All it does is convert the seconds into hours or minutes for you, so you don't have to do headmaths

Btw if it shows say 2 hours, that means there is between 2 and less than 3 hours left on the timer. The spellweaving focus now also show hours, and it shows 9 hours for a fully skilled 6er, which i know is 36000 seconds (or 10 hours for mortals), and it shows 9 hours eminently after doing it.

 

[Herman]

Right and u dont see how keys now stacking and loosing timers is releted to this new timer

That part may be a bug. I was merely commenting on the timer format.

 

[Herman]

sry my mistake then

If once you get to an hour on the arcane focus it starts to report in minutes left I don't have a problem. As long as it is clear when it is going to run out doesn't bother me how it does it. Just didn't want it to go 2 ... 1.... and then you had to guess when it when 'poof'.

If it got to one hour and you are worried about time, its probably a good idea to refresh it anyways.
