I have to agree with the others, I would prefer a bound potion that can be used at our discretion so a buff isn't wasted. It's not something I would enter if I have to wait an hour to hunt. Bad enough having to wait on auctions for bound potions but at least then you know what time you need to go looking for other buffs to compliment... :)

good idea, as long as you keep the AH marketplace for the potions too... in AH you can plan your hunt around a potion (though you might get outbid)..

In other news, the lottery shouldn't have common items. That's just super silly. Like Infernus Gloves guys? Comon. It should be an option to opt out of the regular lottery to *automatically* get the common item. So if you can use it great. But 1 chance in a thousand of more for infernus gloves is super-duper-cheesebally-silly! And funny I admit

Good idea. Maybe it could be made to show up as a link, like the "Special Offer" and "Reserve Stam", so the player can use it when they want to. Not just when the auction ends

Perhaps every 100th/200th clicker on that link will get you a super buff. I agree that waiting one whole hour to see whether or not you got buffed is too much; I finish hunting in matters of 10 minutes or so.

I think that maybe you should try to open a "shop" type thing, so that if you have the gold to throw around you could go and purchase the buffs from it, and the more you pay for it the higher level the buff...

i dont like it unless it comes in the form of a potion wich can be used anytime you choose.. i wouldent want to put gold into trying to win this new buff and then get it and cant use it .. but i like the idea though.

sounds like a good idea to me :). however, would defensive buffs be included? because defensive buffs can be useful if u win it while ur offline.

i hate lotteries. why throw gold away on a chance? why not just sell the things for millions of gold?

Hmm i quite like the idea but as mnay have said before, the waiting is bad. waiting to see if have maybe one. Maybe there should be a way to activate the buffs whn you need them?

But have a set amount of time they can reamin un-used so people cant keep, say, a level 1 bajillion TH buff till the next LE.

im thinking the buff should stay some where (like the item mailbox) until you activate it, although this would probably be just like getting potions..

Maybe make it potions!

ok ive rabbled on enough now..

is there going to be more the 1 buff a to win.....and only 1 winner each hour..can ther be like 5 or 10 differnt winners...becouse 1 in 3000+ chance is not very good odds....what if u have no stamina it would be a waste to enter...and if u do have stamina you have to wait all hour to see if u won and then when u dont, wait another hour.....but what ever....maybe if u could use it when u leveled next or made it a super potion (non tradeable) would be much better, use it on your one time and not right a way.....

but is the "super-buff" gonna be a mixture of buffs or is it a new buff that is created?

I like this idea. Any chance to offload that excess gold you can't bank...

The Idea of a Super-Buff is not bad, but having to Wait for an Hour to find out if you Won. Most people will not be willing to wait that long.

This might start out good, but it would be only a Fad and quickly lose it appeal.

I have this Suggestion: Every Hour there is a Different Buff Up for Sale. Start the sale at 10,000 and then after each buy it goes up by 100 or 1,000 (which ever is easier to program). But you can only buy it once. I would also cap it at 100,000 (the same cap for FSP Sales on the Market Place).

So the First Buyers get a nice Deal and it still becomes a True Gold Sink.

Are you talking the 'whole board" off buff.. like the lot.. ?

That would be pretty good.. if they were all say level 500 and in the form of a potion..and ran for 180 minutes that you could use any time..

Better still make em "un bound" so that you could trade them... Just think what one of those babies would be worth.. :twisted:

Also.. make the auction (gold sink) every hour..

Good idea, just make it super buff potions which will be bound and if not used in 8 hours they are automaticly destroyed!

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


I like that idea better
