    Resetting Assault Tag timer

    My Assault static meets at 7 and now somehow me and a couple of other's tag seems to have moved to 8:30 which makes it annoying as sometimes we end up having to wait if we do short assaults.

    I can't for the life of me work out how to reset the timer on my tags to a more convinient time none of my friends seem to know either...
    Any suggestions?

    Re: Resetting Assault Tag timer

    There is no way to reset the timer afaik. Maintenance might?

    The tag timer starts when you pick up a tag, so pick up a tag the day before at 7. Then come assault day, you can have another tag ready by 7. Hard to offer up suggestions when I don't know how often you go though.

    Re: Resetting Assault Tag timer

    The timer for Assault tags adjusts only when Rytaal has a full set of tags for you; the timer starts after you pick up that first tag.

    Thus, the only way to "move" your timer is to allow Rytaal to have a full set of tags until or before the desired time. If your tags are currently marked later than you want, this involves skipping an Assault for the week (assuming you do seven runs a week) so that you get the full amount with Rytaal earlier than normal.

    Maintenance has no effect on the time marked for Assault tags.

    Well yes, filling up on tags is the only way to move your timer.

    I recommend skipping just 1 day of assault and then you'll always have a tag. When everyone else gets their tag at 7, you'll have had yours since 830 the previous day.

    what you have to do is let it build up to 4 at the counter, you can do it by waiting an extra day before doing a run of Assaults or do one less the previous run without taking the tag out.

    Yes, skipping just 1 assault is guaranteed to not only catch you up to your friends, but put you ahead of the game.

    The Fallso icon appears after a certain number of posts, and disappears after another certain number of posts. I'm really looking forward to mine >.>

    Re: Resetting Assault Tag timer

    Before we got captain, my assault static had it worked out so we could do 7 runs a week in the following way, which you can adapt to your group should you choose. We were in the same Dynamis LS, which runs at 8pm Wednesdays and 5pm Sundays, so what we'd do was:

    Sun 4pm 1 run
    Sun 5pm Dynamis
    Sun 7-8pm 3 runs

    Wed 6pm 3 runs
    Wed 8pm Dynamis

    In the event someone missed a run they would get an extra tag in advance of the next Sunday run and let 3 generate on the NPC, then after the 4pm run, they'd get a tag taking them from 3 > 2 on the NPC and resetting the timer to about 4:30pm (really this works as long as you do it any time between 4pm and 6:30ish pm on Sunday). We also had to remember to pick up a tag sometime before 4:30 on Wednesday and 4:30 on Saturday, or else we'd lose a tag.

    Now we have Captain so it doesn't really matter, plus we do 4 Nyzul runs on Sundays because of people's schedules, and don't really do Dynamis all that much anymore either, but that's neither here nor there.
