Great work Toreth, you put a lot of thought into this and it shows. I feel like this is a great idea to help encourage activity which is always a plus. It would make all epics relatively useful in other ways besides stam gain. I can think of applications to Arena, GvG, Relics battles, PvP and basically all the parts of what make FS what it is.

It would also probably drive the price up since demand would be higher. Which in turn would make titan (or whatever else you do to get epics) hunting worth something again so hopefully the stam used would be outweighed by the FSP gained. I also think some consistency in a stat formula would be amazing. That way you could kind of predict what pieces of gear you'd need to make stronger sets.

Usually it's hard to affect positive change for all players, but something like this could only help FS. In order for this to work though I imagine that all the formulas for existing gear would need to be changed to the updated version. I don't think it would be as effective if it was just everything moving forward.

I fully support this and look forward to a positive response from the devs. Thanks for listening.

I want to preface this with while I understand the hesitation of some people in the creation of these potions, I still do believe that if you're going to use a word like "loyalty" for an in game currency, than whatever that currency is should be the same-if-not-better that the "P2W" currency.  I also don't think that the induction of some of these skills will break the game, but I digress.  My comments below will be in GREEN.

Rampage Potion. Loyalty:  1000

Animal Magnetism Level : 450 Duration : 120m
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. 

Fair, i do think con 650 won't cause any problems especially at the level suggested.

I think this should be 700 which is a massive decrease from the original proposal, but it sounds like 650 is already on the chopping block, so I'll agree that 650 is not game breaking and won't affect anything.

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.

The main draw to easter global would be the PvP potion and OK1000 as this is one of the main ways to achieve this.

My reasoning for this is identical.  I would like AL to be at least 800 and Librarian to be at least 800, but understand the likelihood of that happening is slim to nil, so I'll agree with AL 700, but would still like to see Librarian 800.

On a poll you can't explain your reasoning, on the forums you can. Much more worth from less feedback, yet constructive.

Yes, you can by providing an explanation on the survey in a given field.  Plus, more people will fill out a survey than write out a post on the forum.  I made a quick sample survey of what it could look like and I'm happy to do the whole thing if that's how it gets done.  A survey also provides an unbiased look into opinions where vocal vs. non-vocal does not matter.  I think many more people would appriciate the anonymity.

Hello Everyone,

 

It's a surprise to no one that arena is dated and needs some help.

 

I come forth with a simple and easy change to help arena overall.

 

The 25% Guild mate arena rule should be changed to the following.

 

Joining with all your own gear = bypass 25% rule

Joining with Guild Tagged gear = 25% rule applies

 

Arena is a solo activity, if you are joining an arena with your own personal gear it has nothing to do with your guild mates. If you are joining with guild tagged gear then it makes sense for the 25% rule to apply to them.

 

The only thing I can possibly see people saying would be "collusion", but let's think about this realistically. Being in the same guild has nothing to do with that. With our access to communication in Realtime 24/7 across various platforms such as discord etc where many unique people are connected, this does not really apply.

I think this is a fine change. I've done very minimal Arena compared to others, but I don't really see an issue.  Hopefully it would promote some gear sales in the AH as well.

Feedback is welcome. However, the discussion has lead to these POSITIVE changes and we're not reversing them. Feedback can continue to help with positive changes.

Noted That is what I thought.  I just wanted to make sure players knew they could still make suggestions.  Thank you.
