The current jumpclone cooldown is 24h. This leads to a delay if you need to jump daily of some minutes. Sometimes you dont manage to login in time, so its maybe even an hour. This adds up until you can't really login anymore (during night etc) basically loosing a day.
So I propose for us who jump daily to reduce it to 23h to compensate for this.
Of course reducing it to even less woud make Eve a more flexible and elastic place. |

while I get what your saying...I have trouble understanding why an hour less than the usual timer would make a big difference.
Downtime is only 30 mins....so....??? ================ Get PAID FOR SPAM! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=78152 |

He's saying it leads to timezone creep for the jump timer.
Day 1: Log in at 11:55, Activate at 12:00 Day 2: Log in at 12:00, Activate at 12:15 Day 3: Log in at 13:00, Activate at 13:05 Day 4: Log in at 11:55, Cannot activate until 13:06 Day 5: Log in at 12:00. Cannot activate until 13:07
There is no way to nudge it back down to your original time without skipping an entire day, so if CCP wants people to be able to jump once per day, it really should be down to 23h or 23:30 timer.
I don't really have this problem myself, but it seems like an obvious usability fix - this is not so much a disadvantage as it is a bit silly and annoying. |

How or what is causing this "time zone creep"?
Never had this issue myself...but then this may be a euro thing or something. (no offense intended) ================ Get PAID FOR SPAM! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=78152 |

Do the opposite. Increase it to 28 hours so that jumping daily isn't a viable option. |

Let me explain. Assume I jump 19:00 in the eveing every day.
I won't be able to do this on the minute, so it creeps back in time by 5-15 minutes every day, sometimes even longer.
So at some point I am only able to jump at midnight or later, or not at all because I am asleep, basically missing one day.
So in order to jump consistently every day the cooldown needs to be 23h.
I would love to have it even shorter but I guess that wishful thinking. |

So if I'm getting this clearly....the cause of the "time creep" is your inability to schedule your play time.

if i get what you're trying to say, if you try to clone jump when you come of work/ school/ what ever, at say 17:30 and need to jump, you loose some time login in and jumping ... after some days, you're avatar availability to clone jump is delayed for a considerable time.
shorting the clone jump time availability for a bit makes sense, as it would give you time to catch up with you're RL schedule . +1

Agreed. This would get my vote. |

Some people play the game, not schedule whole life around it.
Even if you time it to the same minute, a delay will still cause it to creep forward in time. |

I am a trader and jump daily - optimizing my efforts to make ISK. This would reduce my downtime every month not being able to trade. Supported.
p.s.: I noticed that the "other" MMO not to be mentioned their daily cooldowns are 23h as well most of the time |

Reduce it to 18 hours.
I log onto eve on an op night, at around 16:00 **** around in home systems for an hour, eat then Clone Jump to the current deployment area at 20:00. I have to leave it so late as there is nothing for me to do solo at the deployment areas (we use corp ships etc, so bringing personal fits for PvE is not viable). This is all well and good, but I can't log on at 16:00 the next day like I normally do, instead ive gotta wait for 20:00 for my clone to jump back home and get to play the game.
an 18 hour timer prevents constant jumping and twice daily jumping whilst allowing gaming sessions to be split between two places! |

Flexible? Elastic? Eve? Pshaw!
That might lead to FUN. We can't have any of that FUN crap in Eve!

Totally suported.
I would also wish for a shorter timer, but i supose that 23 hours is fine enough.
Everyother place i saw a "daily timer" it usually defaults to 23 hours.
24 hours makes no sense, because you know, "life". ~ 10.058 ~

Supported 100%
23h gives some flexibility without actually changing the spirit of the mechanic at all. |

I'd even be happy with 23 hours 30 mins, just give us some fllexibility to jump daily without the inevitable creep forward. |

Actually.... I think ichn has a very good idea!!!
If they increased the JC timer as he suggested, people would quit using it for everyday bouncing.... Leave it as an every other day thing.... |

Really.... Why do we need to JC every day????
What, you can't be asked to fly, in a flying in space game???
JC's are one of the reasons EvE is sooo small.... I hardly think you need to encourage more JC'ing.... If anything, quite the opposite!!!

How about a new sciance skill that you could train up and the skill would reduce the cooldown time up to what ever ccp thinks is right thinking about balance. Tough jumping between clones isn't in my own opinion a huge thing even if you could do it every 12h.

It's not the only thing making EvE feel small.. but it's certainly one of the contributing factors...
When I first started to PvP, I would JC to empire regularly to buy ships in Jita and move them to our logistics base, I would JC to our empire Base to help out with PvP-U courses, and JC back to Venal all the time....
Currently, my Indy alt manufactures, invents, and trades in highsec, while also doing trade and PI in nullsec. Without JC's, it would be far mor treacherous to move between my highsec bases and my nullsec bases. Essentially, I don't have to spend time traveling much, becuase I can JC!!!
Before I knew about pd hopping and jump clones... I had to FLY between destination, which was moderately time consuming and inconvenient enough for me to centralize my activities. Given the methods of instatraveling across the universe, there's really no reason to centralize you activiites. When I'm visiting multiple regions across the universe, every week, without using gates, it really makes the universe feel small!!!!
