Adventure Loot Spot Time-Out

[Raubhautz]

Hello - I have a couple of ideas regarding adventure Loot Spot's that would provide the parent player reasonable control over his/her adventure:

1. Reduce the time-out for adventure invitations from the current 8 hours to a more realistic 1 hour. In 99% (or more) of cases, players are running to complete an adventure quick, if a player takes longer than an hour to accept, then they had something come up in rl or cannot get internet access for some reason. Many adventures have more than one loot spot, so several players are subjected to having a 'locked-up' ls while the 8 hours timer runs.
   
2. Add a feature for the invitation expired message to be sent to the parent player of the adventure. Currently, when an invitation does run out in an adventure a News-Tab message is displayed. This is good, but with any chat server problems, the player(s) may not see/get the message. This way they can act right away to find a replacement or just close out the adventure.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions!

Unless it has been fixed yet, the 8h timeout is bugged anyway. It will only expire after 8h _once_ the player has logged on, meaning that your ls invitation won't time out for 10, 15, 20h+ unless the player itself logs on and then it insta times out (because why not rub it into the face...).

I heard one can uninvite through the mail Outbox though, I haven't gotten to do that yet, so not entirely sure how it works.

Tried that one, does not seem to have an option to delete/uninvite... it does, however, show the current time left to respond... Keep me advised if you find/see anything different.

-Update: The invitations stay in the outbox even upon acceptance, and the expiration time continues to run.
