Potion Delay Time - increase ?

[timeless 397]

Hello,

Please Vote and say your comment here, why "Yes" or why "No" !
I got suggestion for players: "Delay time between use of each potion in Game"

Right now "Potion Delay Time" = 100ms (which is 1/10 from 1 second), it means you can drink potion for 10x times in just 1 second. My suggestion is to increase these "ms" (milliseconds)/reduce potion drinking time per 1 second.

I would like to increase "Potion Delay Time" to 125ms instead of 100ms, so it will allow players to drink potion 8x times per 1 second, not 10x times...and see as it goes, it can later on be later on adjusted (decrease/increased a bit more/less), but 125I think is optimal +-.

I think it would improve:

1. PvP, so there won't be non-killable characters
2. Players with bad sets could not survive easily and just rely on non-stop potion drinking (by spamming potions) = good sets will be more important/valuable
3. Will get more interesting game-play, to be and play much smarter, decide either to attack/back-up, wait for others or risk and attack (in CS especially)
4. Dramatically reduce, if not even kill auto-pots drinkers, because of setting this delay time limit 
5. And more...

No. I can outperform, by hand, any potion macro (given a minimum amount of delay, like the one we currently have, or  even lower). I have tested this with a very large number of macros. Also, some classes should get a damage buff (at least). IMO, the change should be made there, not at the potions delay.

 

If you think I'm lying, check this out (sound on) - notice also the spells switch. This is also for all the butthurt noobs saying that I use macro:

Really nice video, seems like 300ms would be way too much in this scenariou, but still 10x times per 1 second in my opinion is a lot, and time from 100ms could still be increased to 125ms - 150ms

At this time I think that the change could do more harm than good. Currently some players can survive a bit longer and contest events because they can QQQQ fast. Changing this will end all their chances to get a boss or the castle, since there are so many very well equipped players guarding them. There will be a very obvious unbalance. If you want  to do this, and the players vote to do it, it should be implemented at the start of the server (rr db).

Start or end - it does not change anything at all,there is no difference..."well equipped players guarding? what - maybe they also will be "weaker" and will be easier to killable.

First comment with video opened my eyes that 300ms would be way too much - yes, but this last comment - wasn't strongly argumented/well considered - I already explained in previous sentence.

Yes, they will also get weaker but I think that at some point, if you are weak enough, it doesn't matter that the opposing side is also in a weaker state than before, because you won't be able to cope at all. This needs to be tested first, but I'm against it anyway.

Agree, but this should be applied just after, a stronger anti-cheat/macro will avoid people to use "macro - bk's with 3x combo in 1 showed", speed or anything else.

using pots slower, for people with "macro" will not be a big difference, but for some1 which tasting pots, will be more weaker and may make him to give up.

As I mentioned, right now its 100ms = 10x drinks per 1 second, I want to change to about 125ms = 8x drinks per 1 second, max 150ms and not more, which is still a lot. Also, still working on Launcher, already send necessary info, so Launcher License now is activated and I can start configuration and testing.

Change "Potion Delay Time" to 125ms (milliseconds) - right now, if you change your mind, let me know

Seems like on next Update release Potion Delay Time will be increased from 100ms to 125ms (milliseconds) instead of 300ms 😄 !
