Make House P favor worth something again!

[Yaga_Nub]

When House P favor first came out many people would get to 75 favor so they could get the House P buffs. These buffs were very handy, especially for lower level toons and non-casting toons. With the introduction of guild buffs very few people worry about House P favor because they can get better buffs from their ships or by getting an invite to a party member's ship. I think it would be great if all House P favor buffs were extended to a full 60 minutes and all the resists be 30 point resists. This would allow smaller guilds to have a way to get some of the same buffs as the larger guilds AND would make it worth while to do House P quests again.

If this doesn't work for the devs then I'd like to see them make up a new 75 favor reward for House P.

I agree with you 100%. Guild Ships have made House P tier 1 favor buffs very unattractive. I would settle for them just extending them to sixty minutes but would like to see the resists at 30 as well.

[IBCROOTBEER]

I can see your point. And I'm not trying to agree or disagree with your desire for 60 min buffs. Doesn't really matter either way to me.

However, I love the jump buff !! Can't get those on the guild ships ! Also, tier 2 of House P favor gives the pendant of time for super fast run speed in public areas, LOVE IT!

So, even as it stands ... still plenty reasons to run house P

House p has the most useful favor of all, IMO. The pendant of time is one of the first favor rewards I go for on every one of my characters. Besides, all of the house p buffs are available as a potion except for mage armor (which only mages should need, and then they can give it to themselves) and false life (which is only 17 HP that are gone for good after you lose them).

Besides, there are plenty of useless favor rewards. House j has spell buffs which are just as useless (and also available as potions). House j doesn't even offer something convenient like the warp pendant (in fact, for the second tier, you get access to the same spells as you get for the first tier of house p, ***!). House D is really only useful for archers. And free agent favor isn't really useful to anyone.

Add House J to the list.

I'd like to see favor rewards open up some special house quests but I'm probably the only one.

Favor in general needs to be looked at again to make more useful.
(but I'm convinced it a conspiracy to make money in the DDO store. )

[Talon_Moonshadow]

Add House J to the list.

You just like House J because they're cleric spells.

[licho]

good idea,

The 30min duracion is very prohibitive. If i want it for some longer quest it could be hard, to group, make sure everyone get to place, and actually do quest if some bumbs on the way.

[Hendrik]

I say leave 'em but up the duration to match those of Airships.

These buffs are a great solution to all the ship moochers

[sweez]

A lot of favor rewards need to be looked at.

And add Spawn Screen to the spell list!

[Xenostrata]

I liked the idea of adding stacking skill point bonuses to all favor rewards like they did with the Coin Lords.

Of course, for it to matter, the themed skills would actually have to be useful (Wooo! +2 heal from house J!)

[voodoogroves]

The jump buff is awesome.

The key reason they aren't used more is, I think, the spitter short duration and unlike guild buffs, iirc they expire if you shrine.


I'd love to see all the favor awards examined for usefulness.

[Bodic]

Going to say it sorry would like more from house P buffs sure, but I still use them all the time as they currently are.

[JollySwagMan]

75 favour for 30 point resists is way overpowered, as a competent level 4 can solo Tangleroot and some House P FTP quests for it. That doesn't bug me so much, but considering how Chronoscope is treated...

Increasing them to an hour sounds good though.

Making the second tier of House J ones go up to 20 point resists seems a reasonable boost.

[-Zephyr-]

Don't house P buffs scale with the level ? I mean, I tough you were having the resists cast on you depending of your level : 10 points if you are < 7, 20 if between 7 and 11 and 30 points if > 11.
What I'd like to see first is ship buffs scale like that.

I may be wrong tho.
