Please, any and all DOFF missions that are 24 hours, make them 20 hours.

Every week I am being pushed later and later with these 24 hour duty officer missions, no cool. Daily in the past has meant 20 hours, gives some of us working stiffs a bit of flexability on when we do the doff missions. The 24 hour are a pain to manage time wise and doff missions I use to do right after work are moving further and after midnight.

I know what you mean. like why is it I can tag epohhs every 20 hours but the doff mission lasts 24 hours???? Every time im late running it again the further and further it gets pushed back.

Completely agreed!

While at it make 48 hour missions 40 hours and change 72 hours to 60 hours.

kaigen42 · July 2013

Yeah, 20 hour timers is a lot easier to keep to a regular schedule on.

trhrangerxml · July 2013

Before New Romulas were there any 24 hour DOFF missions?

I don't remember any 24 hour to completion missions off the top of my head, but plenty of 24 to 48 hour cooldowns.

What immediately comes to mind for me are the missions related to colonization chains. Resettle colonists lasts 4 hours with a cooldown of 24 hours - so 28 hours total until you can take it again. All of the support missions are the same. Officer Exchange missions are a total of 28 hours until you can take them again, as well.

And of course - NADORC (Negotiate Additional Delivery Of Rare Commodities) is 4 hours to complete, 72 hours cooldown, total 76 hours.

It's a good point, though - it's frustrating trying to do the Flying High mission and the raise birds missions when the timers are so different.

kaigen42 · July 2013

Yeah, it doesn't bother me as much on the various doff mission cooldowns, because a lot of those I don't expect to chain over and over anyway (it might not be up when it comes off cooldown). Epohh and Bird raising, on the other hand, are both things that you want to (and can guaranteed) do every day, and so it's much more convenient to be able to set aside a time to take care of them that won't slowly creep forward.

obsidiusrex · July 2013

I couldn't agree more. For the Risa event, Flying High is on a 20 hour timer, but the bird DOff missions are 24 hours. It's really unnecessarily penalizing players.

gavinruneblade · July 2013

I think there's a couple diplomacy missions that are "1 day" aren't there? I'm not sure if those are 20 or 24 hours.

Either way I would like the standardization at 20 hours.

eradicator84 · July 2013

Completely agree, and signed.

epohh doff missions and risa bird missions need to be made 20h as well. Other wise we just keep getting pushed more and more later until we have to skip a whole day to 'reset' when we are able to trigger them.

tahnalos · July 2013

Ditto. Obviously the mission and DOff designers havent been eating in the same replimat lately.

skywolf73 · July 2013

I will sign this. agree.

marc8219 · July 2013

I agree, I gave up doing some of these like Epohh every day due to fustration and now just do them every other day.

reximuz · July 2013

I'll add my agreement here. I started Raising Eggs and doing the Risa daily at about the same time on the first day, now I have to wait 9 hours from when I do the daily to complete the Risa bird assignments.

I had to Skip days a couple times while working on Eppohs for Romulan Rep (I've takena eppoh break for a bit as I have all the items I wanted for now) because the DOFF assignments were 24 hours, but the mission to get the dang tags was only 20 hours.

ajm1067 · July 2013

Ditto the above. This is particularly urgent in view of the Risa event ending in August and people could therefore lose out on getting their corvette as a consequence of this (nevermind the fact that there is conflicting information on when in August the event is ending...).

The Bird DOFF has nothing to do with the corvete (bird = Marks // Corvette is earned by lfy high which is on a 20h cd like every "Daily").

But Yes, I Support this request.

nicha0 · July 2013

There have always been a few oddities in the game that sit at 24 hours, the B'tran missions were, but luckily they nerfed those so nobody does them anymore. My opinion is nothing should be 24 hours, 20 hours is perfect for anything daily, only pretty obsessed people can bypass that being daily.

adeonhawkwood · July 2013

I agree with this, 24 hour missions are very annoying.

The Federation Military Offensive missions have always been 24 hours.

malkarris · July 2013

I agree with this, 20 hours at a chunk would be so much better.

Whilst you are right, the fact that there is this assignment disparity between chasing doing the birds for marks and the pearls for the corvette can make it problematic for (some) people chasing both and needing to make two visits - but this is pretty much academic now for Risa as it is too near to ending anyway.

But from now on, please, 20 hours for these kind of assignments...thanks.

Please, any and all DOFF missions that are 24 hours, make them 20 hours.
