what about different lotteries for different levels (such as 1-100, 101-200 and so on...) with unlimited tickets low level players would have no chances...

It doesn't have to be an hour - it could be every 30 mins or whatever - its just the general idea of it :)

It could also be 'Super-Potions' that are bound - meaning you could use them then you want ;)

Like the idea of Super-buffs... don't like the idea of a lottery for Super-buffs.

i think that there si 55-45% for the idea... But im still AGAINST... better find another way for how to help lower players to gain some fsp than putting this SuperElite buffs that noone likes

What some of you are forgetting is that you ARE online when you purchase your "chance" and it would only be xx minutes to wait for the buff. That would give you time to read your guild notes or the forum, perhaps getting educated :-)

I think it's a bad idea to be honest :) If the buffs are really worth it, will people be waiting for hours and hours to MAYBE get them? I think it'd be better to have an hourly super buff POTION lottery, just don't make them overpowered...

Edit: The potions would be bound, of course.


What Mistle said.. I like the idea but I think the wait will put a lot of people off participating in the Super buff scheme as currently proposed.. Pets with an hourly upkeep (lvl 25, lvl 75, etc) would also be an excellent gold sink. *to the tune of Monty Python's Spam Song* PETS, PETS, PETS, PETS, LOVELY PETS, WONDERFUL PETS!

Bad idea. No one wants to wait for super-buff. Really only good for super high lvl players. Want to make a gold sink? Then look at setting a gold purchase price for +25 stamina!

A good idea indeed. But also prefer to have a bound potion then. That when you go hunting, you activate it. Like the RP from GvG

With my "yes" vote, I would like the super buff to include EVERY single skill in the game for that period of time. And I think the buff should last for 2 hours or more. :-) And I would like to see a limit to the amount of gold/tickets one can purchase. Maybe 100 or 1000; otherwise, the fairness is lost.


I disagree with the comment about fairness. If you spend 100x more money gambling then yes, you have 100x better chances to win -- but you also lose 100x more money should you lose. The amount you put in is directly proportional to both your odds of winning as well as how much money you waste on a lose, or even on a win(if 1 ticket would've won but you buy 100k, that's pretty wasteful.) That's just innately how gambling works, and there's nothing really fair/unfair about it.. If a person wants to spend a fortune gambling he/she could still lose just as easily, after all, it's not like they're sure to win.

EDIT: I do agree with everyone who says this would be better as a potion lottery, though.

While this is an interesting idea, I don't feel it is an useful option. I personally would not sit around for an hour waiting to see if I won the buff lottery so that I could hunt. I'm not going to hunt while I wait since then if I win the buff is wasted on what little stamina, if any, is left. Why not make the lottery for buffs that are in the form of a bound potion (non-tradeable) that way it could be used when most helpful. The lottery would not need to be run every hour, but could be at multiple times of the day.

I'm amazed by everyone whose schedule is so bad that this wouldn't work for them. I guess a potion is best.

It might be a good idea to look into giving the potion an "expiration date" though, to prevent people with insane stamina pools from winning the lottery, say, 10 times, then using 10 potions at once for 20k stamina. Something like 24-48 hours seems fair to me, though I'm just throwing numbers out.

Also, I REALLY liked the old lotteries. I'm sad they're gone :(

The only ones I disliked were the fsp -> fsp lottos, but once those were gone I loved them all :P

This has probly been said but here it goes anyway

I like the idea however I'ld also like the ability to chose when the buff occures, within the limits of 24 hours. The reason I say this is that, in the hour I'm waiting to see if I win, I can end up burning all my stamina and being able to wait a few hours before using my prize would make it even more valuable. To prevent stock piling these and using two or three at once you could have a check that will say "Sorry you have already won in the last 24 hours please wait till tomorrow to play again"

This might make more players play because they could have 23 hours worth of stamina to enjoy the buff. It would suck to win and have like 150 stamina.

Haven't read the replies. Don't care to. Sounds dumb.

People would get super-buffed when they were offline or out of stam. Just as good as inactive accounts getting recruiter prizes lately.

Instead of fluff crap like this, why not just implement that Easy Fix for Gold Vs. FSP *FIX* ?
