Yo Devs.
Can you consider disabling pots in PvP, and i dont mean pvp healing pots. I talking about elixirs etc.
It looks like some players prepare as hell using 10+ elixirs, all kinds of pots, just to get an edge. Sometimes it helps them sometimes not, but it should be equal to all.
Not that everyone cant buy pots. But you can understand how this is lame.

I'm always stupefied when I see some tryhard guys with 4-5 elixirs even when they pug. As for premades, it's more of a cheap thing "I hope the other guys forgot to bring theirs, let's pop mine hehe" and it always leads to flaming during and after match.
Simple solution - Go to Auction House and search for elixirs.
Almost every premade guild parties use exliris lol...
They all go away as soon as you die. So you have to re-use them everytime. So it can be essentially a waste.
Wrong, uncommon elixirs will not go away if people die, they last 1 hour.
The ones bought with Ardent Coins dont go away when you die though.
Nah man, just watch some streams, you will hear many good PvPers acting in disgust when they see the other guys full of pots. And then yeah, they start using pots too.
It's basically just a way to show how desperate one is for a win.
I really dont want to stack up on elixirs and pots to have them ready in case the other team uses it.
I'll be saving mine. Nothing else really worth spending them for.

I'd use a couple of normal regular elixers at the beginning of the match every now and then.
Nothing I personally toss out on a regular basis. On rare occasion I'd use a green elixer. But really havent bothered as of late.
But I dont go stacking like 4 to 7 elixers at once. lol.

If they want to implement this, make it BOP based on an alchemy task to make that profession useful at least
Not at ALL true. I premade often and regularly, and as one of the most competitive guilds, we consider it very bad form to have elixirs in a premade (and pathetic to be running them against PUGs). It's mainly because it pressures other players to spend time and resources to get their own elixirs, and then you're simply back to where you started. Except that everyone just had to unnecessarily use resources just because someone was desperate for an edge against their opponents.
If you're using elixirs to make up for a gear gap between you and your opponents, that's more acceptable. Otherwise, it's a desperate and <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> move in a premade.
I will say this much, I've run with a crit pot sometimes, mostly without. The daily coin crit potion is pretty much intended for pvp, even more so now with tenacity ( for pve its pointless). People actually scrutinizing ohers for their playstyle for whatever reason is completely idiotic imo. You can do whatever you wanna do, use whatever you wanna use, you can run and kite, you can use 10 potions, you can pick'n'play the op class/build of the month, whatever , its your choice, nobody can take it away from you.. So why the **** are you trying to take it away from others with pointless zone messages ? I can tell you why of course, its your little ego getting the better of you.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
All "top pvp guilds" are pretty much like eachother. 85% paying customers who runs with permas and gwf's, and 95% of them have such an elitist attitude. PvP can be fun in NW at times, but don't imagine that there is any prestige in being at the top of it.
If a premade uses pots against us, I would never play them again. :P
I use pots because glory gain is so low per win than a loss after a 30 minute match sucks and disheartning....

Let the battle begin.

FIGHT!!
How can you whiners miss the blatant hypocrisy of what you are complainiing of?
How can you on the one hand equip and use a perfect vorpal enchantment, or the like, or similar, while on the other hand bemoaning the fact that your opponent is using a potion OR potions?
How can you equip and use a myriad of artifacts for self-healing, increased damage outputting, self- buffing etc, while on the other hand weeping crocodile tears over your opponent doing the same with potions?
How is any of these tantrums even possible?
How can hypocrisy be exhibited on such a massive scale?
How can self-blind-ness of this magnitude even exist?
Do any of you not have mirrors nearby?
For shame, I say! For shame.
Yeah most of the high end premades all run cheese melee teams with perfect builds and enchants then think using a potion is somehow wrong or beneath them?? Wow just wow. I would love to see some of the guilds that THINK they are so <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> run PvP with a standard rainbow party and then have the realization that follows when they are not so hot afterall.
Agreed...
A bit extreme lol but +1 the idea is important
As for the guy complaining about R10s and perfects... not much I could say. ELO should take care of this in time.
What you seem to fail to understand is that everybody can pot up (reducing pot efficiency to 0-ZERO), and just forcing consumed AD on people (since everybody has the AD to get pots), while R10s and Perfects are out of touch besides Cash2play or months of farming.
GG.
I have no problem with perfects and rank 10's as I use them myself. The issue I was referring to is running a perfect build + OP unbalanced teams and thinking you are oh so skilled at PVP. If I ever use pots its because the other premade is using some cheese build setup. The thought process that the other team is "wrong" for using a potion buff when you are queuing with an EZ mode team is silly. Besides there is no point in this thread other than to vent or rant as PWE wont change this mechanic. It does not hurt/harm anyone so why would they. If you are oh so good beat the other team WHILE they have potion buffs and you do not
GG2U.
True. This is not a PVP game. Module 3 is the first module that finally focuses on PVP. Before that, this game has always been PVE before PVP
Fought a GWF that swap between bloodtheft and barkshield.... If he used SF as well I would have report him...
Good thing most PVPer have the decency to not use such method, but there are people who does, and that is annoying and really makes this game P2W. Negation pop, let's switch to barkshield; below 50%, let's go bloodtheft; almost dead, better put on soulforged. Rinse repeat lol what is this.
Not eveveryone can buy perfect vorpals and rank 10's
