Hello James!
If this is meant to be, it is not currently functioning and I will put in a bug report.
Currently you can switch freely while you are in your home beacon. However, if you walk out of your beacon the timer is present.
As in:
I changed to a new skill set in my home beacon. I craft for 5 minutes. While I stay in the home beacon the option to switch is available. Then Ileave my home beacon. Once outside of my home beacon the skill sets will say the remainder of time is required to pass before you can switch (10 minutes in this example). If I walk back to my home beacon I will again be able to switch freely.
It doesn’t start the timer when you leave the beacon, seems to start it when you switch…but doesn’t display it until you leave the beacon
Is that timer intentional?
