The 18-hour timer is intended to allow folks to get one map per real life day while still allowing flexibility to gather a party to do the fight. If you plan a daily fight at roughly the same time each day, you will never even care about a timer. If you're gathering maps every 18 hours, you're not the audience SE was targeting for this event. I wouldn't hold your breath expecting a timer to be added.
