Could the buff be as a potion so it could be used conveniently?


I like the Idear hoof, but this would be better!

how about a special potion that has 4 uses. that would be much of a greater gold sinker? like a special doubler potion that could be used 4 times and then you end up with an empty bottle.

No.............buffs are buffs and if we win we should get it like a reserve stamina where we can activate it whenever we want !!


Kinda what I mean, but people could just stack up on buffs and use them all at once..It should at least take up inventory. Which is why I said potions instead, it would be a lottery only potion.

Gold sink?

Bring the lotteries back.

Why players would be limited to 1 lottery?

I would like to have the chance to win 2,000,000, 20 fsp and 2 items (daily) at the same time?

is a waste of time to wait till the draw is make and if there is not you the one ... u must wait another hour and so long ......
as i sad
make it .. but no lottery
as the TEMPLE is .. u can make a SHRINE and there players can buy all the buffs they want


This is excellent idea !!!!

Forget lottery ... sell super buffs ! But for every one - not like potions in AH ! Something like 100000 gold for buff !


They promised buff shop a long tiem ago. But nothing happened. Probalby some high end players crying abotu loss of bussines.
Even if some of less greedy or charitable high end palyers say they ahve to many customers:)

I didn't read all 10 pages, so this may have been suggested, but.....

The winner should be able to control when the buff is activated. Make it a potion then, or like the reserve stam, a button the winner can push.

huh? i am not sure if I understand this... if one of us wins the super buff, will we be buffed right away? or is it like a potion?


Right away I think, thats why its bad, it should be potion!

I'll echo what many others have suggested: not a bad idea, as long as players have control over when the buff(s) would be activated.

And as far as ideas for gold sinks go, I'd also advocate for a lottery for reserve stamina.

sounds like a good idea, but could it be used at a later time if won?

i like the idea for a potion mailbox. with a timelimit of 24 hours. and there can only be 1 potion in it, so there is going to be a bigger chance for more players to get a potion.

Not a bad idea- but I cant see it making much of a difference lol unless they are incredibly unbalanced buffs :D

also needs to be availiable for 24 hours after winning/ 24 hours in duration(wouldnt mind that, would still keep them time controlled :D)

definately needs to be either a potion, or extremely long in duration (I say more than 24hrs - either 48hr, or a full week - it's rare that I hunt more than once in a 24-48 hour period now, and I would want to gain the maximum effect from it)

Otherwise, I say why not? There aren't enough things to spend gold on in this game (I don't often buy AH potions, and I dont bother with the Hellforge because it costs FSPs, and doesn't give a lasting benifit)

Make it a guild lottery. Kind of like the Guild RP purchased "Reputation Boost" packs, were they effect everyone, but they last for 24 hours. Ditch the idea of super buffs, super potions are enough.... I'd be an interesting twist, I'd be more inclined to buy some tickets if I thought my whole guild could benefit....

Not sure I'd use the buff lottery...


also I'd like to see a relic with +100 First Strike and +100 Duealist or at least close...

A good idea only in the sense that it would act like a potion, but must be used immediately, and therefore players would only buy 1 of each buff at a time. Players with tons of gold on hand tend to try to buy multiple numbers of the same potion for current and future use driving the prices up.

I don't like the idea of waiting around up to an hour and refreshing the auction page constantly trying to be the highest bidder on the buff. maybe you can make the auctions last 15-30 minutes instead.

It could be fun, but most people wont want to wait an hour to go hunting so the buff might prove to be useless. Maybe have it sent like a message and they could activate it when they want as long as they use it within 24 hours ???? Just a thought....

i dont like the idea of a lottery costing gold because we only get the same probelem that we had with the previous lottery. the lower level players will not be able to buy as many tickets as higher level players and it ould not be fair.

i suggest that if this was going to happen then the price per ticket would have to be dependant on your level, so that lower level players are not excluded by the high cost.

if this was to be the case then id say go for it, brilliant idea. ( as a potion or buff which you could activate anyway)


I've said this before but it bears repeating
How was it unfair that people who could gamble on more tickets had a higher chance of winning? Keep in mind, plenty of them bought more tickets and then LOST -- sometimes to a lower level person who bought much fewer tickets. I am not high level but I'm not small either, I've spent over a million (probably much more) coins on lotteries and never won a single time. If I'd been too small to afford gambling that money, I'd probably have only lost a few dozen k coins.

If you buy a ton of tickets, you very easily can still lose. Meanwhile you'll walk away with a LOT less money than a lower level who just bought a few tickets..who's in the better position there?
It's not as if high levels have infinite money. There are still a lot of fsp upgrades I could get, and I'm sure this is the case for most players in the game.

Gambling away millions of coins isn't really any "better" than gambling away thousands of coins, because at the end of the day you are still gambling and could very easily lose every penny.

I personally dont like it....

Why would i bother entering , and then have to sit around for an hour to see if i won or not , and if i DID , then having to rush around arranging what else i needed to level... potions etc...

Make it super potions , then maybe yes. something you could Use/cast when it is convenient for you.....

Great but I think once you win the buff you should be able to activate it whenever you want.

instead of running once per hour, what about a random number generator that randomly awards one player with the super buff WHEN THEY BUY THEIR TICKET.

ie: once per hour you get one (or a dozen, whatever) buff(s) available, and everyone who buys a ticket gets a yes/no outcome immediately until the buff gets sucessfully picked. almost an attack/defense value, but randomly generated.
1 yes to 999 no's available (or 99999), etc. when the yes gets picked, the buff goes offline till the next hour.... or something like that.

Just a thought... although I do like the super-buff lottery idea.
