On screen timer

[Alhanelem]

So this new event has utilizes an on screen timer to show the time limit. Previously the only other thing that had this was Ballista. (edit: I was mistaken on ballista)

Can we get this timer implemented for all content with a time limit? It would be a lot nicer than only getting the periodic notices in the chat log which are missable if it's particularly spammy.

Yes, please!

Agreed wholeheartedly. I saw the timer and thought it was brand new honestly, but in either case, I'd love to see it used elsewhere!

It is new, actually... I somehow confused the ballista scoreboard which is shown in the same place with the timer (you actually just use the game clock since it lasts 1 game day)

The plantoid event gave me PTSD. Just saying. I feel sorry for young children or first-day new players trying to farm the first 500 points in this event.

I really like the fun event and the gear, but it was traumatising lol.

Thanks for the feedback!

The development team will be looking into adding this on-screen timer to new content when it is implemented in the future; however, there are no plans to retroactively add this to content from the past.

C'mon..... plzplzplzplzplzplzplz! :P <3 How hard could it be? does every activity not track time limits the same way?

Why not though? I mean, I don't care if you choose to ignore content no one does, but surely content like Dynamis, Salvage, BCNMs, Skirmish, Delve, and the outside battles for Delve, would all heavily benefit from such timers...

This one baffles me. Surely, it couldn't be too hard to print a timer already being used by the game to the screen in that box?
