I've seen it a couple of times when you buy the +25 stamina some one buys too much and ends up wasting it because of being a noob. Would it be possible to change it so you still get 25 stamina, but instead it goes into the reserve stamina area.

I know many people are going to say "But isn't that going to be like banking stamina" and "Hoof already said there will be no way to deposit stamina and use it later" True and while this is sort of 'saving' stamina or 'banking it' the other issue is you're paying FSP to get this stamina, you ARE NOT taking the stamina from what you get per hour and putting it aside.

One positive thing for this would be that a person could work and get 1 or 2 FSP at a time and convert it into stamina and store it up. This wouldn't affect how much total stamina they get, just when they use it. A person might go hunting every other day, and save then after building up a reserve, over 2 or 3 months, of say 600-900 stamina use it, plus what they have, to really do a mega boost of stamina for a hunt.

I know, personally, I would be much more likely to use this upgrade if the stamina went into the reserve stamina that directly into use. I could take out exactly what I need when I needed it, save the other stuff for later, and could even buy a big surplus of it.

This would not really affect how the game is played, the only change would be down below

---NOW---
You buy 480 FSP and have max stamina (3000 for this example)
You get all your buffs and have 475 fsp left
You activate x11 and the other potions and hunt
At 220 stamina you buy 2500 more stamina (100fsp)
You continue your hunt and then buy another 2500 stamina (100fsp)
You do it a third time, because you've got a lot of good buffs and are one hitting most things so you gain 6 or 8 levels (100fsp)
You have 175fsp left and decide to call it a day, maybe save it for new gear.

---New System---
You buy 480 FSP and have max stamina (3000 for this example)
You get all your buffs and have 475 fsp left
You go to the Upgrade board and buy 7500 RESERVE stamina (300fsp)
You activate x11 and the other potions and hunt
At 220 stamina you slide into the reserve stamina area and pull out 2500 stamina and continue to hunt
When you reach 220 a second time you pull out another 2500 and hunt some more.
You've already gained 6 levels at this point and are about 10% away from number seven so you pull out another 1200 stamina and hit that last level before calling it a day...
The extra 1300 stamina stays in the Reserve area to use another time, and you have 175fsp left to get gear and other things (like before)

---------------------

The only real differences between the two ways of doing this is...
1) you can buy more stamina at once, even if you don't need it right away you know it's not going to waste

2) You could buy 25 stamina and pull out to use 3 stamina and save the other 22 for another time.

----------------------

In closing I think this would allow players to better manage the stamina they buy with FSP and might lead to even more players using this option.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

For those of you who recall my n00bish error, buying stam in bulk will wipe it out when it turns over, which most people don't know until they try, lol.

I've been wanting to suggest this exact thing for a long time but have withheld due to the many flames this suggestion could attract.

Better you than me, Angie, lol.

But this is a great idea. Whether you use it right away while leveling or save it for a LE or something like that, you're getting the same amount of stamina.

This saves us the heart attack of losing 7000 stamina when your recharge comes along, and it saves HCS the headache of dealing with us trying to get it back.

I'm popular enough not to get too many flames, and care free enough to deal with any that might come. . . Oddly enough I withheld the name but I was going to use your name, Led, in place of "You" just because I knew you had done this.

Each of your FSP already effectively acts as 25 reserve stamina. Because of that, I wouldn't really object to it, but would recommend that anyone experiencing the problem of buying too much stamina to be more careful in the future.

i am pretty sure reserve stamina is only for when the game goes down if this were implemented rich players would load up on tens of thousands of reserve stamina for legendary events

If they save their FSP they could do that anyways.

yes if they choose to but the difference is theyd have to use the stamina immediatly unless it went to reserve like this thread is suggesting it could just be a stockpile for LEs b/c it is stamina that is not being wasted and it could also be a stockpile for new content etc i still disagree w/ this idea

FLAME! bring out the list.. :lol:

To address the first objection, both saving fsp and having reserve stamina is pretty much the same thing. When you use reserve stamina you have to use it immediately, but also if you use the fsp to get 25 then you have to use the stam immediately.

The only difference is as reserve stam you cannot buy other things. With fsp you can and it has the possibility of finding its way back into the market. Sooooo judge from that what you will.

stockpile for LEs? you know that they can just by the +25 stam upgrade during the event, right? and they use the same exact amount of fsps....it's just less annoying to have a reserve, instead of you accidently losing some because you overloaded

You still haven't explained how.

Buying stam to save for later or saving FSP to buy later are the same thing.

No explanation is needed. Simple you Have 300 stam left you go Buy +25 put 325 in reserve way to many checks would have to be coded into the game sorry I do like the idea but It will not work out right

You can't bank stam that you charge yourself, you can only bank stam that you buy with FSP. THAT'S what we're suggesting, not that you can put your normal stam into reserve.

This is s great idea! Once (long time ago) i hunted normally about 10k stamina... then i decided that maybe i use some of my points and bought 10k more... just when i was going to start to hunt again... Internet connection went off... (some problems with internet deliverer) Could come to online 1 day after... during that time 2000 stamina went down in the drain, cos my cap was 10k back then

If they're the same thing, why bother having the upgrade? Just save your fsp until you want the stamina.
