For what I've seen, Valor time may be right... All attacks I've planned based on launch time, with pre-calculated travel time were right... But during the travel, times are changing (except Valor time...), so joining a siege is impossible, but using BattlePlanner and/or other tools (advertissement: as mine :-D) gives good results...

I agree that distance doesn't seem to be the issue. More of a random occurrence. The answer from Quark is usually just "we are aware of the issue and are working on it....have larger gaps in your attack" :(

Very frustrating when planning out your perfect attack to have scholars land 2-3 second earlier. For a while I wasn't taking an SS of EVERY attack, but since this has happened a few times I screen shot everything (quite annoying when many of the times I do not need those screen shots other than just in case Valor "messes up")! If I dont I will start to wonder what went wrong or as Ben said, just go ol school pen and paper. That's always your best friend in Valor.

It does seem to happen more in GW than other worlds though...

If you're trying to match another players time to a 3-5 second window and your land time is 10 hours away, you'll probably not be successful. If its 10 minutes from now, you will likely be successful.

Try it, it's fun, but it's just good to know that during an attack you can't be precise in joining a siege...

At least that's what Quark said ...

INITIAL landing time is right, TRAVEL TIME is always right...

Landing time can change as you play, in the attack info window, at least that's what occured to me, but I didn't did the math in order to see if "CURRENT VALOR TIME" + "TRAVEL TIME" = "LANDING TIME"...

Travel times always are right, at least once you refreshed...


FYI

Land time creep has been around for a long time. Generally, it creeps uniformly, so attacks sent around the same time creep the same amount.
