I hate to be a Debby Downer, but...

1. Imagine the further deflation that would happen to epics in the long run because of these new buffs ![]()
2. Imagine this during seasonal titans
3. Imagine the number of titan hunters that would quit because they spent so much time getting progress on their titan medals/not having the benefit of these new buffs ![]()
Apologies if these issues were already brought up in the 150 comments above, just giving my 2 cents as an FS player who has spent countless hours titan hunting.

Are the individual potions bound or unbound? I'm confused b/c the home page says they're bound while the sidebar says they're unbound.
Some brave soul open their chest and find out!!!

Too easy, keep the way it is.
But, some suggestions for new Events:
Composing Event 1: Double frags while breaking items.
Composing Event 2: Double XP while creating potions.
LLuck230 + FI1150 + double frags would be catastrophic. Frags would plummet in price, and a great revenue stream would be suppressed for a few weeks/months as composers would stock up during the event. As nice as that sounds to a composer like me, it would make it a bit too easy.
Double XP, however, seems nice in moderation.
TL;DR: For me, No and Yes ![]()

I've been plenty critical of the cows over the years, and I think they deserve a medal for dealing with some of us...
It's our job to point out problems/flaws in the game, but I couldn't agree more with this. So many players criticizing the game because it doesn't play out in their favor. (I am willing to admit that I have succumbed to this a couple times.)
Players and admins alike have to be on the same side for progress to be made. Otherwise, it just turns into another stagnant dispute/bloodletting on the forums.

Congrats on everyone that participated in the GE, Crystal is still a praiseworthy feat.
I would just like to cite myself as an example of how difficult it is for a non-EoC or low stam bank player to make the top 100. I was at full stamina during the event, and had to use an Emblazoned Potion (AM500/Cons500) + 300 FSPs to barely make the top 100 cutoff.
I have heard it all - from players saying that one should contribute as much as they can regardless of whether they make top 100 or not, and one should upgrade one's character if one wants to reach the top 100 - but let's face it; non-EoC players/non stam bankers have a considerably lower incentive to give it their all. With this being said, I fully advocate consolation prizes as stated in this thread (i.e, an extra potion for those that get 20k+ kills, or potion rewards based on one's level/how much stamina one starts out with during the GE/stam gain they can muster per hour) in order to make Ruby a more tangible goal, ease the burden of the top 100 contributors, and appeal to the lower level players/low stam bankers.
TL;DR: The establishment of consolation prizes for those that go way above and beyond the minimum number of kills needed to qualify but don't quite make the top 100 cutoff.

Some people use it after hunting globals with one or two items to reduce the repair cost substantially and/or utilize a minimalist strategy with Reckoning by taking UB off.

Lol I have proof to the contrary
I agree. The titans spawn randomly from what I know. No bias whatsoever from my experience. Just that some titans have been secured but not cleaned up when most US/UK players are sleeping.

Normal hunting is not much of a problem even with the lag (a bit annoying, but not detrimental). On the other hand, titan and SE hunting are harder than ever. It already takes hours to hunt the titans, and it takes even longer now with the new lag. Personally, I do a lot of the latter and the lag has really hit me hard.
HCS, I've fallen and can't get up, please help!!!

And I thought I was crazy. I experienced the same thing today, thought it was a virus. I decided to hunt Gorgeanaka today, when I noticed the 1 sec. pause between steps. I also hope that this issue will be resolved soon.

I like this idea. Not only does this eliminate the need of a frag GE every other event, but it also encourages more players to participate, alleviating the burden on the top 250 contributors. Also, it might help increase the value of SE items, something that I've heard much fuss about in the forums.

The main issue I have with this problem is the strain that this would put on the admins. Having to track through all accounts with a fine tooth comb and making sure that people aren't doing more than two-way trades b/n accounts is much more strenuous, laborious, and time-consuming than monitoring any suspicious trading b/n any two players like they do now --- time that could be used elsewhere to improve the game to attract more players rather than time to maintain a few players with multiple accounts.

Both sides have merit to their arguments. While I advocate the affirmative, I can see the POV of the opposition. With that being said, maybe meet in the middle? (i.e, a small boost that doesn't make the buff too overpowering and greedy?) After all, composers work VERY hard to even get the Pride buff ![]()

The gold sink idea is nice, but a constant range would be detrimental for intentional gold sinks like the caves. I think the buff ideas are very original as well. I like the names, too...perhaps post them in the skills/enhancement thread?

Hi Anonemesis, I understand where you're coming from, and I would also love to make fragments trade-able for my own self-benefit as a composer; however, again, the GE frag stashes are too easily abused. People could illegitimately get their hands on a hoard of fragments during GEs, and the price of frag items would be driven way down, hurting frag farmers and stopping the current gold sink. Imo, the trade-offs are much too high.
This is just my 2 cents ![]()

hmm...that sounds interesting, but it could be easily abused. There's a reason why the GE frag stashes are bound.

Inactive players will be hidden from all the top rated pages. <-- assume this includes all terminated players as well?
I thought they were already hidden from the pages.

Great update HCS, hats off to you guys. Now I don't have to set my stopwatch every 24 hours for my instant finishes, and throw away so many commons for my junk potions. A balance would be nice for the frag use distribution, esp. regarding the ubiquity of rare frags. All in all, 100/10, this is why I pray to cows ![]()
