Hey dear all,
There's a problem I met days ago, let me explain it first.
Show content
(you can skip it, if you don't wanna see the story.)
I logged in the server at 10:15 that day, it's a beautiful day and I said ty to everyone said wb to me, checked F6, put some items in F7 and dealt with DS board ,etc like always, and 40min past I was gonna checking the support chat and civilian team chat to see if I can do smth to help, and I found someone was saying the Triple XP fisherman job is about to end.

I noticed it's an hourly event in that hour, but there's no way I can notice it, unless someone was saying it, so I just missed it.  :ree:

So I'm thinking a solution, no one will face the same problem in the future, I discussed with @Revo. an hour ago, afaik there're two types of hourly event at the time, one is Double Earning Hourly Event, the other is Triple XP hourly Event in X Job. And my suggestion is making an hourly event updater at the right bottom of screen.

It's just like the CE and ARL updater. 


When the hourly event is in progress this hour, it shows:
Double Earning Hourly Event (x min left)
Triple XP hourly Event in Bus Job (x min left)


Feel free to discuss with me, and hope everyone has a nice day.

Voting Positive, Good idea. It looks pretty simple and useful, With this idea no one will experience the problems you have today. I dont think it will have a negative effect.  :tick:

I've seen this before: Someone comes online right after the hourly event has begun but they have no clue about it until they see someone mentioning it.

I've faced this before, missing out on double money events and such because there's no clear timer or anything, I believe having a timer like the ones we have for CEs and ARs while the event is running would be pretty neat

As Guides and SOs, we use shouts, but late login players will not be aware of this and will miss the event. It will be simple and easy. going Positive  :tick:

This would motivate more and more players to login that time to make additional profit and ofcourse enjoy their playtime by playing at server's peak activity time. Furthermore it will help the new players to make their first earning faster and more precise.
Going Positive.

This would be a good addition as all server players will be up to date with the double/triple paying job, also will help out the new players in earning quick money by getting notified with the current doubled paying job and how many minutes left for it to be reset.

Highly Supporting this idea as I have had suggested similar thing before but I think my explaination lacked details resulted rejection. It's pretty much makes sense to have this kind of notifications instead of keeping trivial for no reason.
A man of focus, commitment, and sheer will.

Highly recommended to implement, well theres a notification before you click the login that says "double earning in this hour"  if there is event running in the game in that time but the others didn't notice it cuz of clicking the login so fast. And so many asking if how many time left to the end of the hourly events. For the better solution in this problem is TwCafe's Suggestions it makes civilian,cop and criminals knows when the end of the Hourly event. So I'm giving the positive vote  :tick:

sometimes you just log in and don't pay attention to those events, when you are interested in them.
This should be added for people not to miss out.

A good idea in my opinion, so people won't face the same problem again and again, it might happen to every single one and make those who unhappy.  :tick:
