I think the buff, Pride, should stay how it is ... because everyone can earn bronze medals fairly easily in most categories, even new players with some effort.
I do think it is a mistake to have ONLY new buffs with composing and completely neglect the skill tree. Or perhaps have a lesser form of these new composing only buffs in the skill tree, and not necessarily at 1600 or higher. Lets mix it up HCS !
Your issue, at first, doesn't seem to be against changing the skill Pride itself, but HOW the skill is attained. You think it's unfair level achievement isn't considered to attain composed pots bypassing the skill tree. Fair enough, but that's another argument. It's ironic since you DO need to have attained a certain number of levels to attain some medals, akin to the skill tree requirements. However, there are only two medals that require gaining high levels to achieve them, Best Player and Top 100. The Adventure(Quest) medal, SE, Titan, and Top monthly medals only require enough levels to attain them. The rest have no level requirements whatsoever.
New buffs will arrive for players above level 1600. https://forums.hunte...ts/#entry727516. This discussion is about a skill that is already in effect for current composed pots that can benefit everyone. I want HCS to acknowledge dedicated players to the game in a small way that doesn't overpower the convenience skill Pride. The skill would then represent the true medal achievements of players since there is a considerable difference between bronze and diamond medals. I want that recognized!
