Celestial Coin Timer

Is it just me, or could all the character sheets really use a coin timer for 20 hour/30 hour CD when all your coins are lost. I like trying to get that extra coin in every week and having to guess when exactly each different coin on each character is ready is a total pain, even if you try and time them all together and go in the same order, you still somehow manage to screw one of them up. I donno, what do you guys think?

    that would be cool, however i often have to avoid invocations cause somone desided to give out like 1-3k exp evry 6 hours so i outlevel my friends and content and stuff, I wish the invocation exp was via scroll or turn offable, or maybe just applied to pet.

    If you hover over the Celestial coin UI in the top right corner it will tell you how long you have to invoke before losing it.

    It is the circle UI that has the 1 hour invoke countdown and (CTRL +I) on it.
    Next to it is a number (1 through 7) that represents how many Celestial coins you currently have and if you hover over it, it will have an explanation of the Celestial coins and at the bottom it will say "Invoke again within 1 Day 5 hours" or whatever time you have left.

    Sorry I am not at my PC or i would take a screenshot.

    thanks for the responses folks. That is not quite what I am getting at Zurkhon. If I invoke at 12:20 pm and get my coins, and then keep playing and invoke several more times, there is no way to tell when the 20 hour timer on the coins themselves is up for me to create a new pair of coins. now in this theoretical universe 8:20 am the next morning is when i can make them, but life isn't perfect and when i change between accounts a little too fast, Invoke and DON'T get coins, you have to wait a full hour before you can invoke again. what I want is a cool down timer on the coins themselves to prevent this

    That is a 22hr cooldown. Sadly it doesn't tell you when you last got your coins other than good old fashioned memory. While a cd timer on when you last got coins from invocation would certainly nice. Not everything has to be hand fed :)

    Besides, the way that last post was worded, you were wanting to min/max the number of coins? As in logging in right on the dot so you get an extra coin every week(if it is 20hr cd). If that's the case, they'd have no reason at all to tell you when the coins will be available to you because you're trying to game the system. They want you to get 1 coin per day, not 1.2 coins every day. Some things are best left up to you how you want to go about doing things. There's a reason it's not exactly a 24hr cd because they wanted to be nice and give you some leeway if you couldn't get the invoke every day constantly pushing back when your next invoke would be.

    I'm not really gaming the system, if the counter is 20 hours then it is made to be done every 20 hours, if they wanted it to be one day, it would be 24 hours. many counters in STO were 20 hour based and all of the factional rep were 20 hour timers, and had the timer stamped right there on the screen. I really feel this is something that got overlooked and if this gets attn. will get addressed, if not added.

    and by the way, the counter is 20 hours, not 22. I promise.

    I tend to agree with the 20 hour thing, there's been at lest once where I got coins at 7-8am, then the following mornng when I couldn't sleep, at 4am.
