Transformation Timer

• Andy-Buddy wrote on 2011-03-24 06:35
  Is it 1 Hour? Is there any visible timer?
  
  I'm pretty sure it's not one hour, but I'm also sure it's not exactly much shorter.
  
  I was able to use it at 9:15 and again at 9:50, so maybe it's a 30 minute thing? Maybe I glitched?
  
  Can we get any confirmation?
  
  And before you post anything about Mabinogi, this is in the Vindictus forum.

  It's supposed to reset every hour on the hour. So maybe your clock is 10 minutes slow?

  That's my guess as well. By my clocks, the reset happens a little before the hour, though I haven't pinpointed the exact minute yet. The same holds true for when the new dailies arrive, when tokens refresh, etc.

  This is probably your clock, but I'm pretty sure it was less than an hour, I was able to transform 3 times in like 45 mins
  
  It may be once ever two battle quests

  Dailies arrive at 5, and tokens refresh at 11. (This used to be at 4/10, but Daylight Savings time pushed it forward one hour.)

  I was thinking it was this.

  For me it worked as resetting every hour.
  
  There's an option to open clock in game, and my trans always only available after the :00 mark.

  I think you missed my point. The way my clocks are set, I could use the transformation at X:35 and then later at ~X:56. In other words, my clocks are a little slow compared to the game server. Perhaps when your clock read 9:50, the game server's clock read X:00, enabling you to use the transformation again.

  I know I read somewhere that they reset on the hour. I can't link you to any source, but I'm positive I read that.

  Option>etc>check on the show clock. Now you will be able to see the in game clock (or server clock) right under channel.

  I didn't realize this until too late. Thank you!

  This is computer time, but nonetheless helpful. I didn't understand what everyone meant until I realized "On the hour" meant at x:00 every hour (Server Time)

  There's no way that clock is computer time; my computer is set at the same time as my digital clock, and my in game clock is 4 minutes faster than my digital clock.

  No, it's not computer time. I'm looking at both right now, and the in game clock is 4 minutes faster than my computer's time.

  That's exactly consistent with resetting every hour. Server time is 4 minutes faster than actual time. So when you saw ~9:56 on your clocks, server time was actually 10:00, triggering a reset.

  Yea it's working exactly correctly for me. I have been farming Hidden a lot this weekend, and thus spending a LOT of time watching transform timers and doing a LOT of missions. There's no way it resets every 2 missions or something, considering I have been doing 10+ runs per hour and it only resets when my in-game clock says :00.
