It is time to put a timer on mana pot usage

[maddmatt70]

It is just high time the devs did this. I would suggest a one minute timer before a player can drink another mana pot. I do not have any problem with failing more quests because quite frankly if I have to drink mana pots to beat a quest I do not deserve to beat the quest. Failing quests just makes the victories that much more sweet and encourages higher quality game play. There are no mana pots in D&D.

This game is too easy. 4 or 5 years ago DDO was so much more difficult. If you the devs are opposed to this on the normal or hard difficulties at least consider it for the elite difficulty. Thanks for striving to improve the game play.

They will never do this. You don't limit the cash cow's milk production

I like this... but mostly because it will force the dev's to develop content where chugging pots isn't required.

This! I want them to stop making content designed to push us into more store purchases.

Keep fun stuff in the stores (armor kits, visual pets, hearts) but don't sell healing and mana and then balance the game for unlimited healing and mana because you can buy it in the store.

Exactly what content is forcing everyone to have to make store purchasses to be able to succeed at completing a quest? Sure there is that one quest on Korthos that you have to buy something in the store, but those TP are reimbursed and it's part of the "tutorial" aspect of learning how to use the store.

I may not have been here as long as many other people, but I have yet to encounter a quest that requires me to make a store purchasse to complete (not talking about RAIDs here, or that single korthos quest)

Personally I think that all the **** pets are what are causing the lag in game. Only classes that should have companions are Artificers, Druids, Rangers and Wizards but I won't be posting asking the Dev's to remove them anytime soon.

But let's suppose for just a minute the devs did put a timer on pots. I foresee LFM's for blue bars/self healing toons only. Why? Because divines' pot usage has far more to do with melee foolishness then their own abilities.

LOL

You can't be serious.

There is only one Quest, and it is a Raid, where pot use would be necessary - and that is only due to proper tactics have not been developed or passed down to the unwashed masses.

Every other Quest/Raid can, and has, been done without any pots used.

Power-drinking your way through content is just dumb. There will never be any true challenge in DDO while we have unlimited blue-bar.

There are no mana pots in D&D.

Unless something big has changed {not saying it hasn't - we did after all lose ThacO over a decade ago now - and yes I am still annoyed about that}.
Then there's no Mana in D&D either!

This.

I would like to see a system like Bard Songs for ALL spells. You get a specific number of spells between rest, period. Virtuosos deal with this just fine (granted, almost nobody plays them... but still).

/signed to the OP's idea either way, though I know it won't happen. There was a time long ago our voices might have been heard, but that time is long gone.

Perfect!

I own this edition...

Marvelous!
