Balls to the wall... If you do this, which potions do you favor? List all drugs you take, class, DPS/cc/tank/heals/whatever. Please and thank you.

You only get 38 Rank12 hybrid enchants worth of extra stat.

So 38 r12 hybrid enchants = 76x420 = 31,920 total stat points max? Is that a coded cap or just what you calculate the max of the max to be?
Yeah, its pretty crazy...
#1 All temporary stat buffs (i.e. pots) should not impact your character in PVP - just like companions dont.
#2 I would argue further that the same should be said about mount bonuses AND active mount abilities (not useable in PVP)
AS WELL AS
#3 All campaign boons (with the exception of SH Boons and PVP Boons) shut off in PVP.
If all three things happened. It would largely fix PVP.
so what !!! the devs have not removed all the guns of pvp (balance )and you want players to take thier bullet proof vests off (pots ) ? so you/they (pvp players) can still advocate for peace better times while still fighting a war and using guns and armor no ? ...
asking for a stripped down pvp and choosing to use pots while solo or vs premade what ever in the current environment are 2 completely different things ... they are not mutually exclusive ... and it does not make someone hypocritical ...;nor invalidate posts asking for balance
you are damm right I will pot to the max if I solo Q
you are damm right I will not use pots if that is the set premade rules beforehand
I might even pot up for Pve to carry a weak group to gold
then Q for a match
however that being said
also you cant dismiss all pots/buffs either so saying someone potted up for X reason could be entirely wrong you have no idea who they faced or where they were / what circumstances before the match
are you suggesting such player would quit pvp entirety if the mode they suggested was implemented and they could not pot up
hmmm
preaching balance for a class... the community or for fixing a premade match are different things ... stop throwing around the word "balance"
also people are allowed to change their mind s/ have a different option over time ?
Being able to stack an extra 2 builds worth of Rank12 stats with potting is absurd.
Yea I think most or all pots should be removed from pvp.
*the guild food persists through death. Correction needed there.
**You can only use one (1) of the celestial coin elixirs now so that has lowered the max to 35 Rank12 hybrid equivalents.

All this stuff comes back to "inflation" that has happened since mod 0 days... All the pots, consumables, boons, etc. etc.
Its all just too much and its fine in PVE as it provides a ton of content and many people need all these "boosts" for the PVE content... but when it comes to PVP, all this stuff broke PVP.
The "margin" between the casual player (or new player) and the BIS player keeps growing each and every module.
PVP players want competition and to have a competitive environment. This is why WOW (as 1 example) removed all this from PVP and "equalized" gear for everyone.
I dont think we need to go THAT far, but I do think removing pots and also things like boons in PVP would go a LONG way to making it more fun again
> Welcome to hell casual players. I will now be the reason you give up on the game
This sounds like it could be a club.
PS4 characters:
Brie Liadon, Shotgun Wizard
Disposable Hero, Kidney removal technician
Valorous Cake, Armored pastry defender
Ginger Christ needs no introductions
Which, funny enough, will probably bring our own demise, the loss of a deep pool of cryptic spenders, and contribute to the death of Neverwinter (aka actual "winter"). It's okay though, pwe/cryptic/ whatever says they have a new game in development.

You also dont know if the people you bump into will be potted and considering the vast stat difference in pots vs no pots... you would hate to lose due to pots....
I never run the FULL gambit on pots, but I will usually grab some of the key ones.... Like Elixirs, Heroism, Soup/Sorbet etc. They key ones that provide maybe 75% of the benefits... But at the end of the day... its pretty ridiculous how much stat bonuses these offer... I dont know why they cant just make more stats override others when applied....
For instance, when using Wild Storm Elixir, if you use that and then later use say Foehammer's Favor, you DONT get the stats from Wild Storm (however you will still get the crit severity). So they DO have "code" in there that replaces other temp buffs like that.... If they could merely expand this, to touch across ALL these points, it would be better for the game...
I think the pocket pet, and Lucky Coin are fine as is though. It would really be all the pots. I would sugggest EITHER - removing them completely OR.... Allowing ONE of each category.
So...
ONE OF: Elixir of Fate / Campfire / Heroism.
- Elixir of Fate OR Campfire. (basically campfire is a temporary Elixir of Fate, if you have Fate, you DONT get campfire buff).
- Heroism - would ONLY apply stats if you DIDNT have Campfire OR Fate. If you have Heroism and apply fate, itll only give you fate. If you have Heroism and get a campfire buff, itll only give you campfire (until campfire went away) then it would drop back to Fate. So the "priority" would go like: Heroism < Campfire < Fate. (You only get ONE of these).
ONE of Elixirs: Self Explanatory... (I would ADD the Masterwork potion of Force AND Flask of Potency here) - Only modified code would be to remove the ancillary benefits if you use a different potion (like crit severity which stays if you replace the portion).
ONE of "Food Buff": Includes Rank 5 food + Summer food + Feast.
ONE of: Invoke Buff (make it so you cant have more than 1 active at a time).
ONE of: Scroll of Fate.
Then VIP bonus, Lucky Coin, and Pocket Pet are all fine by themselves.
What this would leave you with is a SHORT list of buffs.
- Campfire (free) or a Fate Elixir if you want to pay for a perma "campfire"
- Elixir of Choice (can get through prayer etc. - free, or the Masterwork or Potency etc...).
- 1 food buff (rank 5 food is cheap)
- 1 invoke buff (again - free).
- Scroll of Fate (Not that expensive)
- VIP/Coin/Pet
That would be it. Thats not a BAD list and still allows for some fun things to be used for build diversification... But comparing THIS list to the LARGE one we currently have... is pretty silly IMO.
u can easy get 100 in summer event and it will last you a year
and Favor elixir that is presist thru death.
cost u nothing with the inflation of mounts and companions.
guild food is also ok. but all those that don't presist death are worthless (one runic bag to store them...)
its easy to get if you want
time to update the chart to include the new +2000 stats crafted potions lol instead of the master work + 1500 ones
separating the low 70 from the high 70 is the only problem here for me
the problem will still be the same : high level players will still have the upper hand, pots or no pots
cut the level 70 in half and no gear change inside, that's it
so low gear will go against their kind and have a chance to have a good fight
most high end players use pots anyway
I'm almost best in slot on my main and I still see players with blue/purple pve gear ... I am not trolling
regarding potion removal and such ....
I should not have to justify why i have to use wards to combat drains yet i am forced to do so and we could not get all guilds to remove/ not use them (drains )how much easier of a time do you think it would be to persuade people not to use/stack potions ?
... also like i said they are used in pve as well and cant be dismissed .. also in moderation they should be ok in a scence i am forced to pot up just like i am forced to use wards .even if i dont want to .Potions also have a much lower barrier to entry and are much cheaper then drains/wards
also to combat shocking execution players were forced to stack and pot up as many hitpoints buffs as possible for it to be "fair" for them at least
I support @ayroux stance and the rest of my guidies in this thread regarding pot removal (I FYI I helped come up with this list ) ..also in the preview thread I advocated there was /is too much power stat inflation ...also there were several direct quote that i sent to the dev reagrding pots and thier removal in the previews section that i can link if you like
also my combined all time kills wins etc more then 2/3 were not in premades does it make it more ok to pot up if you are risking pugging it ..hmmm
some people builds rely on said potion or buff to shore up a weakness / bolster a strength
specifically the personne that put together the list was the only /few warlocks left in pvp and could only not die if they were potted up to counter other players buffs
on a side note even fully potted as a cw i have next to no chance to kill anyone at my gear level 1 v 1 except another cw thats it i am potting up for defensive reason some may pot up for offensive ones ...if not its a stale mate....that may change next mods that cws can now start killing instead of just repeling
like i said
are you suggesting such player would quit pvp entirety if the mode they suggested was implemented and they could not pot up ? not me I went on to list many scenarios of why someone might be potted reagrdless of number of pots and that you cant dismiss them ..(which also has been an issue in premading vs a non potted team)
the only reason the list was published from MY guild is cause we want them removed bro and the dev specificlly referenced the chart posted here in a thread
also you took weeks sorry ...months !!! lol to respond to this thread much has happened since then in the forums or perhaps its cause of server downtime you replied lol
i still stand by my original post perhaps you should reread it with a new perspective
like @ayroux said
"Better to have pots and buffs and not need them, than it is to not have them and need them. Considering how many there are, and if you happen to find yourself in a crucial premade situation, digging through bags to find the 15+ pots you need to apply mid match is NOT an option...."
there is no control regarding who pot up its not a question in a premade about a "feeling of not needing to lose"
so all pot up an arms race to waste and drain ads yes to re balance it again to null if all drink the same pots ..... the same way i always have to slot wards to counter some morons drains is the same way i feel about pots
you cant dismiss them(pots) and known hamspter enemy players are going to pot to the max anyways and there is no way to control how they feel about using an item in the game ..so we are forced to use resources to rebalance it out and cryptic wins see by having an ad sink for pots as the result
P.S you need to catch up on posts on the preview server regarding pvp : D but wait i see you posted there just the other day ..
in conclusion cryptic will be forcing the tone down of amount of potions you can consume since player feel they earned everything and cant police themselves to not using pots and drains (which the devs created)
if anything using potions is like renting item level and they/devs dont want to put potions into item level to reflect true power ...I asked and people disagreed lol
