will the loyalty pots existing be staying? - for example lightfoot? - should i stock up on these now?
They'll be staying, although some will be changing, whether buffed or cost decreased.

I really think a good thing would be to take advantage of duration from time to time. We don't always need a better potion with higher skills... However a worse potion with higher duration could be taken just as well for a fair few.
Lastly the above suggested are not overpowered however will also offer some use to those at all stages of the game.
agreed,but not with everything. and i still think they should add stalker 350 in potion of divine knowledge or rampage potion, or just add new potion with stalker lvl 450+ for 250~350 loyalty

not sure why loyalty should be offerable or even available to newer players since they are NEW.
if we keep pushing "what about the new players" then might as well make a potion that only has value to them only.
These 2 potions put them together and increase their level to 150 at 60min and should be free every 24hours or till they reach a certain level.
for Annual Service medal i hope we can get some sort of benefit for reaching Diamond. maybe increase in daily AT? 🤞

Interesting, considering that these changes come from Player Feedback and, as stated in my opening post, the only thing to have really gone down is the loyalty token cost.
~ Grim
Most people that commented on the first thread complaining are the ones with little to no allegiance tokens. They are the ones who don't spend anything on the game and don't want to. They are the ones who didn't want the people who do donate to the game to get ahead of them and have it easier.
I'm with Rome on this one, everything has been toned waaayyy down, and you don't even see the complainers posting at all! I know we aren't reverting to the original post, but I see 2 potions that are worthwhile here. The Rampage potion and the Doubler 5000 potion.
I wish while you were looking at the original feedback, you looked through who spent what and who has "----" allegiance tokens. Those are the guys this was supposed to be geared to in my opinion. The ones who keep the game alive and running!
Not for the a "loyalty" store for the "new" people, not a "free" store for those who dont want to spend. A "loyalty" store for those who want to be loyal and see the game thrive!
I personally have enough loyalty tokens and global pots to thrive 10 more years without running out, but if we did revert back to the original thread, i'd eat through them and be forced to spend more $$$ to get the points necessary!
Going back to work, message me on discord if anyone wants to discuss this.

Allegiance tokens introduced as "bonus" for buying FSPs , if everything were available in Loyalty shop then less donations will be coming to FS unless another bigger donator potions comes out then the game will be unrealistic with that much overpowered potions !
Maybe i don't donate much , but i might do if the game stay balanced without game breaking skills.
Many players will agree with me because they prefer a "player's skill reliable game" over "money reliable game"
and HCs knows what is right .
The first proposed potions were suggested by a normal player ( You can find the thread somewhere in the forum) and i don't think HCs were thinking to add first proposed potions blindly

I like this but substitute something due to bm and distil being taken away. I know Guild buffer and buff master are wanted including reinforce. With these 3 buffs, the buff market can be alive 24/7 and everyone who sells buffs can make a living. They dont have to be a crazy lvl but maybe lvl 200-300 each. I know we are roughly a month away from the loyalty store update but consider looking through this forum/the past ones and look at similar feedback. We want good changes and not gaming break. Also thanks for the updates
Posted 12 October 2021 - 03:53
First proposed Loyalty update new potions should make the game more interesting, most players liked new "overpowered" potions i think. Those Proposed Loyalty Update III capped potions, because of player feedback are not so useful.

The first post was harvested from player suggestions and we KNEW there were a lot of excessively powerful potion idea. We were heartened that most feedback recognised this. The feedback, coupled with our knowledge of existing potions and where they are available helped prune everything back for the first feedback pass, which most people seemed reasonably pleased with.
This set of feedback tweaks have mostly been reductions in Loyalty costs of the potions.

Buff Master 200 is in the Arena and Guild Buffer 200 is from the Emperor Hydra Egg available at Christmas.
Not sure I wanna interfere with those two.

I'm not sure people really use arena tokens on Buff Master. It's available through an egg "Ni Hongs Egg". If you are to compare eggs they are among the least-mid popular. I'd be okay with having a higher version available through loyalty. Sometimes you aren't going to be buffing a ton and just can't justify the loyalty cost but can for the egg cost. I think there is a world where they can peacefully coexist.

Adding FI to this potion will help give this potion more identity. Along-side a slight conserve crank this will appeal to a more broad scope of players. The biggest complaint here is that EOC end game players cannot enjoy this update. With the suggested changes this is something they could consistently use in this update without cranking the potion levels higher than existing "Best Available" Potions. I am okay with leaving the token cost at 1k.
As far as PvP goes it's nice to have a potion to complement LUP. Most PvPer's have a nice blend of LUP opposed to 100% damage.

Reposting this to add reasoning.
Helpful.
This is an underwhelming potion, you can easily obtain a higher version of most of these skills for cheap. With that in mind cranking the duration to 300m will give it a unique use. IE overnight etc...
Warriors Elixir. Loyalty: 150 > 300
What did you think of the other proposal? The swapped out buffs?
Higher levels can be obtained through ladder chest for MASSIVE DURATIONS. I think it is okay to crank the duration on these. 240m is a strategic in the fact that you can pop pride/bm and go to sleep and wake up and still have this active to capitalize on max stamina. This would likely be the main use of this potion.
Forgemaster Draft. Loyalty: 200
Epic Forge Level : 200 Duration : 120m > 240m
Epic Craft Level : 200 Duration :120m > 240m
Can consider.

Conserve Level : 550 > 650 Duration : 120m
Find Item Level 1250 : Duration : 120m
I'll consider Find Item. Not entirely sold on Conserve needing the minor crank though.
Increasing the levels will not hurt much of the "Epic Hunting Potion" Market. Xmas boxes are the cheap go to for all things hunting, you can pick these up from anywhere for 60-100 FSP for AL/Lib/Con 750. This will be a treat to mid game players that even some earlier game players can enjoy if they stick with dailies.
Potion of Divine Knowledge. Loyalty: 500 > 750
Adept Learner Level : 600 > 700 Duration : 120m
Librarian Level : 600 > 650 Duration : 120m
This encroachs on the Easter Global, which is successful due to being a once a year event. Don't want to harm that.
AS 1000 will have no use, mineaswell make another potion if it will remain at 1000. AS 1750 will allow for alternative hunting method if you want to put in the work. HUGE +1, knowledge and hard work should payoff with higher potential yield.
Potion of Precision Strike. Loyalty: 500 > 1000
Arterial Strike Level : 1000 > 1750 Duration : 120m
The highest Arterial Strike is 300, the Life Blood Cave Potion, yes? Why do we need the next one to be 5/6 times as powerful?
As far as PvP goes it's nice to have a potion to complement LUP. Most PvPer's have a nice blend of LUP opposed to 100% damage.

Posted 12 October 2021 - 18:43
@BG Concerning swapping the 2, I'd also consider dropping Enchant Weapon 200 since it's so cheap in the AH. You'd still have a solid base of buffs in that potion to benefit lower level players or even higher level players farming frags or a Global. And the duration increases proposed by EP is a great idea.
As far as getting close to or encroaching on the Easter baskets, Overkill 1000 is the primary difference and as long as that isn't compromised I don't see an issue with EP's suggestion.
Pride should remain Composing only, and that being said increasing it's level might be a future tweak to Composing.

It wont interfere but its an option.
Posted 13 October 2021 - 22:21
I know this was aimed at EP, however, I’ve taken the liberty to calculate and test the effects of Arterial Strike in its current iterations at level 345 as well as projected levels of 1150 (and higher). For the testing and calculations, the effectiveness of AS with optimal XP gain buffs was compared against the widely accepted 1-Hit method coupled with Overkill with the same optimal XP gain buffs (Conserve Chance activation was also factored into the numbers provided as well), and when broken down to what matters TO THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER, we have to look at the gross XP Gained Per Stamina.The highest Arterial Strike is 300, the Life Blood Cave Potion, yes? Why do we need the next one to be 5/6 times as powerful?

Posted 14 October 2021 - 20:40
Is there a reason that brew 500 was removed completely?
In the other thread, I suggested a lower level brewmaster maybe 400, or whatever yall think would be appropriate, and maybe to tweak things to add pride in there at a decent level.
I think like 20-30 people were like BM is bad at high level don't add. So based on that, it was removed. I'd like to see BM 300 or 400 myself though.

In-game polls would also get you more information as well BG. Some people who play aren't going to bother coming to the forums.
