24hr option for ingame clock

[KeaFurball]

Nyaa!

Is it possible to add an option for 12 or 24 hr style clock in the ingame clock (upper right hand corner)? Even better, why doesn't the game honor the computer's/consoles locale settings?

I've filed atleast 2 request for this through ingame support... I'd really love to have 24h time in the clock. I mean it works in the chat log... why not in the displayed time... Also any chance of having all 3 times shown at the same item? or atleast 2 times so could have ET and local time or ET and server time shown...

I kinda have trouble reading 12 hr time, its weird.

This so much! It almost seems like a bug since the 24h clock is there in chat and everything. Does anybody know if the Japanese client show a 24h clock instead of the 12h one? I think I remember having seen screenshots of the Japanese client with a 24h clock. Either way this would be such an easy fix. Get on it SE!

EDIT: Knew I had seen it! Here's a picture from the 14-hour anniversary livestream: http://imgur.com/AKBXOj0 Look at the clock in the upper-right corner. 24-hour clock! So for some reason they just chose to not implement it for the NA/EU-client. Probably because they for some reason assumed that the whole western world use 12h clock...

The Japanese client displays the clock in 24 hour format since that is how time is represented there. In English we use 12 hour w/ AM/PM. The Japanese version does not let you use the 12 hour clock in the same way the English versions don't let you use the 24 hour one.

German Clients also use a 24h-format for the clock.

Actually, Japan uses both formats, just as we do here, although they might use the 24 hour format somewhat more often than we do. It makes sense that the game client should be able to use either format, particularly since we already have a configuration setting for which of those formats we want to use. Currently only the chat log uses that setting, but the clock display should really use it as well. I think it's just an oversight that it doesn't already.

I personally have the log window set to display time in 24hr format, but I'd like the game clock to use 12 hr.

Honestly it should adjust itself so it matches the locale/time format setting on the system it's running on. All platforms the game runs on support the ability to display the time in either 12/24 hr format, depending on the users locale or personal settings.

The /timers window always displays time in 24 hr format regardless of what language the game runs in. I think this is a bug. I reported it once but I was told it's "not a bug...". If the clock shows AM/PM the times in the /timer window should also be in AM/PM. They aren't. It's a BUG! Since this has never been corrected, I don't expect them to add support to allow the user to choose the clock display format anytime soon!

Bump, yes please. Was this game created before Y2K???? How can this really not be an option for us?

[Culfinrandir]

I agree. Plus I want to be able to display ET & LT at the same time. There's no valid reason why not on the PC & PS4 clients. We all know that the PS3 will be used as an excuse so just don't bother with it on that (dying) platform.
