World Clock

Flight 666 · #1 02-06-2010, 08:17 PM

We, captains,clan players, we are always scheduling stuff and checking the time.

A clock in game with the most importants time zone could be cool.

Sorry for my english
flight.

Thats actually an interesting idea.
Like in EVE Online there's what players call the Eve time on the UI (which is the normal GMT time) but it's the same everywhere so players all over the world coordinate their activities based on that.
What about a similar kind of stuff in a corner of the main menu ? I would definitely like that a lot.

I'm definitely in favor of a global "Altitude time" and us Europeans wouldn't mind if it was GMT.

I don't think the point of this isn't really to get a specific time, it's just so that everyone can see THE SAME time INGAME wherever they live.
It's not like it's top priority or something but it would be a really cute thing and it would make it a lot easier to organize matches and all kind of community stuff.

Did you just admit you play EVE Online?

i started eve a while back, but paint drying was just too interesting.

This is a good idea, and it would make it simpler for clans to schedule matches.

I know exactly what you talk about, and I've played my share of EVE too, so we are on the same lines here.

Very good idea.

Flight 666 · #11 02-07-2010, 12:24 AM

Ah thx, a "alty time" would be great.

zwanglos · #12 02-08-2010, 03:10 PM

I was literally about to make a similar suggestion. I was thinking back to the old Counter-Strike "/thetime" commands and how damn useful they were, compared to alt-tabbing to see my computer clock.

Or, you know, looking at my cellphone clock. *shrug*

PS I seem to auto-time out from servers every time I alt-tab. It's frustrating. So this feature would be excellent.

Great idea about having GMT appear on the in-game screen. And though this has been mentioned many times, people still ask about how to convert times:

I play EVE as well, and by play I mean logging in every so often to start training another skill then logging out.

Could have just mentioned that TL does it instead of airing your dirty laundry lol
