Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let everyone know that due to the Daylight Saving Time rollback Sunday morning at 2am, we'll be performing maintenance on all East and West servers, at 12:50am server time, for about an hour of *real* time.

East Coast servers will be down starting at 9:50pm, Pacific, and West Coast servers will be down starting at 12:50am, Pacific.

So, for this special maintenance, here's the question:

How do you imagine the PWI potions would taste in real life?

Which would be your favorite?

Thanks!

- The PWI Team

    Potion tastes? Fairly bitter or probably a variety of tastes (especially things like Crab Meats, Herbs, and the Manteau being fairly delicious compared to true medicinal ones).

    I think HP pots would be a little bitter at the start, but than whatever is hurt will start to tingle extremely, kinda like the itch you have when a scar is almost fully healed. But than very extreme, and only lasting a few seconds.

    MP pots would probably taste a little sweet, and the aftereffect would be a glow near your heart. Or wherever you think mana comes from

    Considering all the crazy things the apothecaries ask you to bring them for remedies (like lynx eyes, wolf teeth, monster blood, and poisonous monster bits, to name a few), hp and mp pots probably don't taste very pleasant. But they are necessary.

    b:laugh A friend of mine found some cheap round bottles and made up a mixture of jello and glitter to put in them to look like potions. So they smell like strawberry and fruit punch. :D

    I imagine the health potions have that nasty cherry taste that's way over sweet that most medicines have.

    I imagine that the mana potions taste like nyquil.

    Crab meat is probably delicious.

    So in the heat of battle you take a big slug of Ironguard. It would taste like sand and your body would momentarily harden like concrete...

    HP potions taste like a cherry throat lozenge mixed with miso paste. Not good, but it could be worse.

    MP potions taste like Josta mixed with a pumpkin espresso.

    The purple potions that restore both...would taste really weird. But no one uses those right?

    I'd imagine hp potions would taste like when you chew up a vitamin c tablet, nasty **** yo. Mp potions would probably be like a BC, bitter as heck yo. I wouldn;t wanna imagine the taste of the purple potions. Crab meat and herbs would probably be delicious.
    The chi teas are probably yummy because tea is yummy. Ironguard would probably taste like sand. Crimson soul powders would probably taste like monster energy drinks. I would do all the pots but i would have a massive wall of text.

    Yeah, I get that you post this in forums.
    I get that so many of the people who normally read forums had a heads-up.
    But on a Saturday? How many of us check for maintenance? Not too many I'm guessing.

    Had a totally pro squad doing full Warsong. Had all of the Pavilions cleared and just started the mobs on Snake when, "Server will shutdown in 300 seconds."

    Not cool. Had you posted a Server-wide notice (that you do not hesitate to spam for your Zen sale - ijs), we would have not started that squad. How difficult would that be? You know, for those of us who don't camp the forums? Really? That just SUCKS.
    Cash-shopper? That just means I have farmed REAL LIFE, and I want to spend my recreational funds in this game. +12 or GTFO!
