    So I'm back and playing some AG 2, and I thought about something that I had thought about before but didn't voice at the time.

    Reduce kit cooldowns to 23h.

    Reasoning, I play about the same time of the day every day. But I never remember to redeem my kits at an exact moment, so over time, the time for the next one creeps up till it's outside of my time when I would normally play, and I end up skipping one just to reset it back to the time when I'd normally play.

    WOW had a similar idea several years ago regarding daily quests, for similar reasons. Just an idea, Don't know how easy it would be to change the timer.

    I agree with this idea, on league of legends the "first win of the day" bonus is on a 22 hour cooldown for this exact reason.

    I agree too.[DOUBLEPOST=1430840282][/DOUBLEPOST]Is not hard to make( i think ) is just change some configs on the console.

    Would also be nice if you could edit the mymkit plugin to inform online users via chat when their /kits come off cooldown e.g.

    Thanks for bringing the suggestion up. Just to be clear, below are the 2 ideas we are discussing?

    1) Reduce cooldowns of kits to 20-23 hours from 24?
    2) Enable notification if online when a kit comes off cooldown?

    Notifications would probably require a bigger adaption of the way the kit mod works, it's currently only checking the cooldown when accessing the kits.

    Honestly didn't even look. Figured if they wanted it we could evaluate then decide from there =)

    Yeah I kinda assumed it would take a bit of recoding to implement but it's not exactly urgent so just file it under low priority and someone can work on it when they have chance ;)

    It doesn't have to be completely accurate like an immediate notification anyway, just something like running a check on all currently online players with a kit perm every 10 minutes and then sending notifications as appropriate would be fine.

    Also an option in /shop to toggle the reminders off for those who have past the point of needing the kits would be good.

    I should really get back into learning java so I can be a dev and do it myself :D

    Agreed with both
    1) Reduce cooldowns of kits to 20-23 hours from 24
    2) Enable notification if online when a kit comes off cooldown

    I use the kit when i start playing in day.
    But this time vary every day.
    I lost the kit yesterday because this ^^
    Monday i start 21h and i used the kit
    Tuesday i logged 18h and i left 20h there was no kit available

    Might not be too big of an adaption, something along the lines of checking if you have votes waiting to be redeemed.

    Change to cool downs has been discussed. I believe we have agreed to move forward on it, but I will double check tonight. The notification unfortunately requires some coding as the current way we do it doesn't support it. However I will add it to the dev todo list but as a minor item.
