Perhaps we could have a community vote or feedback thread to help you mind map the ideas??

I'm totally up for the idea of a Global Potion ideas thread if you wish to put one together. Everyone has to remember that Bronze ought to be useful and then have reasonable increases up to Ruby powered potions though. No super powers for Bronze!

In light of the above what would people like to see as a combination in the global event reward potions? I think the progression in level as we get further up the tiers remains sensible and makes it easier for HCS to implement.

Two choices OK? = PVP and hunting potions

Possible other potion combos?

Sorry not much of an innovator here more an initial idea starter, Grim asked for a thread so get your thinking caps on lads and ladies and lets give him some idea grass to munch on!!!

Not sure what we could change up... all the potions pretty much cover everything in the game right now..

[RebornJedi]

Distraction, Shield Strike, Overkill, Sacrifice, Stalker, and Reckoning


..might want to wait for this thread a little bit more until we get the new buffs..might want to wait on everything until the new buffs by the look of it.....

[Davros81]

possibly inventor potions but then again we would have the market flooded with the epic items that are invented and the arena gears i guess...?

[gomezkilla]

I concur. I think the Inventing potions should stick to the $60 offer.

Distraction, Shield Strike, Overkill, Sacrifice, Stalker, and Reckoning


..might want to wait for this thread a little bit more until we get the new buffs..might want to wait on everything until the new buffs by the look of it.....

Agree again. I would wait for the new buffs before doing any changes to the buffs granted from the potions.

Another note: Possibly add the new potions into a new Global event.

[Davros81]

Maybe a titan assisting potion setup idk i do not hunt the things but something along the line of

Lightfoot, distraction & ...

then the level of the buffs increasing with each rise in the tier gained

[aa0007]

I'm actually of the mindset that the inventing potions should never come out again. I think everyone knows how hard epics crashed after they came out - dragon draped boots fell from 1k+ to being hardly 600 at times. Krimsons are down to 225 FSP in the AH ... and other things of the sort. But as for items for the new global, I'm all for waiting until the new buffs come out, there seem to be a whole new bunch of buffs that could be great .

Just looking through the new buffs thread, I think it could be feasible to put together a titan hunting setup, ie:

~ Gold Foot
~ Light Foot
~ Immobilise Titan
~ Titan Slayer
~ Conserve (Moderate level, not more than 300 at highest tier)

[Leos3000]

Chest option 1
Doubler 500, 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000
Conserve 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Stalker 150, 200, 250, 300, 400

Chest option 2
Light Foot 300, 500, 750, 1200, 1500
Demorilize 150, 200, 250, 300, 400
Smashing Hammer 200, 300, 350, 400, 500

Chest Option 3
Terrorize 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Constitution 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Flinch 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Entrench 200, 300, 350, 400, 500

Chest Option 4
Librarian 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Animal Magnetism 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
overkill 200, 300, 350, 400, 500

Chest option 5
4 Leaf 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Find Item 500, 800, 1000, 1250, 1500
Resource Finder 200, 300, 350, 400, 500

Option 6
Coordinated Attack 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Coordinated Defense 200, 300, 350, 400, 500
Keen Edge 200, 300, 350, 400, 500

Then of course you could make some newer options with the new buffs eventually, but I would let them seasonalize before adding them to the Global rewards.

This is a great thread and, no doubt will get alot of comments (and HCS will have plenty of feedback and ideas from it).

As stated above, the Inventing potions should not be included (except in the $60.00 reward). It was a nightmare on epics and their prices the last time it came out and, I don't think we want to repeat it again.

As for possible potions from chests, it would be great to do them with the current buffs (and leave the new L1600 alone til they are in the system longer when they come out). Here are some ideas:

Chest #1:

Distraction (150/200/250/300/350)
SES (100/150/200/250/300)
Four Leaf (100/200/300/400/500)
Force Shield (100/200/300/400/500)

Chest #2:

Erosion (100/150/200/250/300)
Terrorize (100/150/200/250/300)
Last Ditch (175/200/225/250/275)
Coord Attack (175/200/225/250/275)

Chest #3:

Animal Mag (200/250/300/350/400)
Conserve (200/225/250/275/300)
Smashing Hammer (100/150/200/250/300)
Cursed Ring (150/200/250/300/350)

Though these are only a few ideas, I do like the direction this is going in. As you increase in the level of the reward (for your own personal character) and, as the community reaches each kill goal, the power of the potions you can get from the chests increases as well. This is by far one of the best ideas to do with a global event that has come up in a thread I have read on the forums.

[Davros81]

I was just giving Grim what he wanted, feedback as to what the community would like to see as the event rewards. Need some more idea though

[Removed8950]

I'm a bit of a noob to this Global Event so maybe it's already been brought up, I apologize for beating a dead horse if so.

Was it decided that all Global Event Rewards would be in the form of potions?

[Davros81]

All previous reward have been potions which provide a combination of buffs, I guess it is the norm then, hard to think of anything else they could give out really

[Tazarian]

As far as I know, they chose potions since it is the best overall thing to give out for players to use.

Here are some more potion ideas:

Potion of Epic Buffing:

Buff Master (150/175/200/225/250)
Extend (150/175/200/225/250)
Reenforce (150/175/200/225/250)

This would be massive for those who sell buffs like crazy and, with a big Buff Master, the stam savings would be high so, you could put good use to it.

Something's Cooking Potion:

Brewing Master (150/175/200/225/250)
Extend (150/175/200/225/250)
Reenforce (150/175/200/225/250)

This is only a few more ideas. I'll be posting more as I can come up with them.

well, if 'a random buff' is just AL500, Librarian750, Conserve500, and 2-3 other buffs, that's huge

I think global rewards have to seriously be looked at. I do not think overpowered potions are the way to go, though I will endorse them if they are the only way forward. This is not because I got mine and want to deny others theirs, but because as I articulated before, I am concerned that super sexy global pots reduce the attractiveness of special offer $60 pots and thus may be inhibiting donations, which like it or not, do significantly help the game survive and thrive.

Globals are community events and should have community rewards. (I also think, as said elsewhere, that some globals should just be to defend what we currently enjoy, not get more freebies.)

I think success in globals should unlock community rewards, with tiers of achievement counting towards that goal. This means potential delayed gratification - there may not be a reward after every global, the reward may need to be built up over time.

What would be satisfactory?

Double XP event for one. We get told the criterion for the next double XP - say 15 tiers of globals achieved. We then earn our way towards it, and know when we unlock it. A variation on RJEM's awesome but neglected idea to have community events or rewards (I can't recall off hand) instigated by finding broken pieces of the fallen sword and bringing them back to the Cathedral of ways. Once unlocked a double XP will happen within 10 days, for example.

Or we unlock legendary releases, or legendary events. Find pathways to quango or storybook, that kind of thing - rewards the community wants.

A quick thought.

Just a note, Dull edge doesn't work in pvp

Could Possibly use the degrade buff tho .It increases the maximum % of nullify enhancement ( above 100%) by .2% per point. Nullify is a chance to reduce opponents damage by 20% in pvp combat.


Its a nifty armor buff , if you have gear or relics with nullify. ( strangely there's no guild structure for it)



The other ideas are nice

[Tazarian]

LOL. Never knew that about Dull Edge not working in PVP (show's you how much PVPing I do). Thanks for letting me know.
