Is there a way when I am using my HP and Mana powder that if a Cleric runs by and decides to buff me with their crappy regen spell that it will not cancel out my HP/Mana regen from the reagents I farm? I spend a few hours each week farming herbs so that when I am questing solo or grinding I am able to kill more efficiently, and when someone comes by and thinks they are doing me a favor is actually pissing me off.

Sometimes I even ask in a grind party if I am going to use my life/mana powders and say no to the buff I get it anyway (language barrier).

So please please PLEASE implement something in the game that a lesser buff will not cancel out a greater buff. I know it can be done.

Thanks!

    they should make it so the better buff stays on and cancels the lower level buff :)

    In another MMO I played lower level buffs wouldn't even stick.

    Theres always going to be devils in the details of which spell overwrites which other spell, tho perhaps not in this particular case.
    We had this situation in everquest, and its not always the case that 1 spell is "superior" to another. Often it depends on the class and the situation.
    One solution that fixes all possibilities (and is probably easiest coding) is simply to give the recipient the choice to keep their old buf or take the new.

    personally, I think the cleric buffs and the herb buffs should stack on one another..

    ie. if I take a focus powder which gives me +50mp and then a cleric gives me +10.. I should have +60.. not +10 OR +50

    We could all learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names (like chartreuse), and all are different colors....BUT they ALL exist very nicely in the same box!

    I agree. This would be great. But it will probably never happen :(

    Whats the saying... no good deed goes unpunished? heh

    I vote we just suck it up and live with it. When it happens, yeah, it sucks. But I'm not gonna get pissed at a cleric (or anyone) who randomly buffs me. I want the ones that do to keep doing it, and to know that it's appreciated. Lets not hound them for doing a good thing.
    If you want something great, you've gotta be willing to bet it all. If you bet it all, you had better be prepared to lose.

    I have seen in several other games where a buff cannot even be cast if a stronger one exists. It should not be that hard to implement, but this would be an issue for the developers in China. Please GMs/PWI convey our opinions about this to them.

    i am pretty sure gm's read a large amount of the forum>.> they probably did read this.
    though they have no need to respond to it since there is already a system set up for this type of request.
    My body is made of swords.
    Iron is my blood, and glass is my heart.
    I have overcome countless battlefields undefeated,
    Without once retreating,
    Nor once being understood.
    Always alone, intoxicated with victory on the hill of swords.
    Therefore, there is no meaning to that life.
    Perhaps this body is nothing but a sword itself.
