I thing reducing the recall timer would make things easier for more casual players. Right now, if I log on, quest for 30 mins, recall, and then quest some more, I have to find something else to do for an an hour or run back to town. In all, I’ve probably spent half my playtime running to and from town. If I only have an hour per night to play, this can be really annoying.
Also, given the lack of quest streamlining, giving players an option to more frequently recall means more casual players have more time to play rather than run around.
You’re not the first to ask for a reduced timer. But until you continue playing and get your 1st,2nd, or 3rd house. You’ll forget about that timer after 60 mins. I see the most people complaining about timers aren’t even level 20 yet. Wait til you have to go to Weavers and Restless, with a recall in Monarchs. This is where houses come into play because you have a shortened timer to your house. Hope this helps. I believe a shortened timer will lead to an influx of more resource farmers. The balance is nice since most people don’t care to gather resources.
You can also reset house recall with Azoth and since it counts as a recall, you can bring a fuckton of resources at the base cost of just resetting the recall.
