Avatar rework (Buff removals)
: But worth it if people really want 'em
: I can see the benefits in HoT tbh
: You might consider a new sort of portable, bought with citadel resources, that can be placed down and clan members can then op for a time-limited buff
: Mean you only need to check clan status when that clan member ops the portable
: Then you can have a whole range of effects if the balancing's there
: familiar timer, HoT, ring of wealth effect, whatevs
: You'd need to do some shenanigans to store which-clan's-portable-is-this to check players against
: but should be doable
: (HoT at the moment is the hackiest thing, it pulses a check from the avatar npc every couple of seconds which has to check whether you're still in the same clan you were in a couple of seconds ago and see if you still get the buff or not before it allows you to keep the buff)
: (Make that a 5/10 minute buff from clicking a placed item and you cut out a lot of the woe)
: I'll have a peek at how it was done before
: I like the notion of "spend clan resources from all the people complaining they have to cap on clan-specific buffs that benefit the group", though, so glhf

[Leader1]
: I also use the Heal Other for clan raids and other pvm things. It's surprising how much it can help new people. Would be a shame to lose it.
[Leader2]
: I do agree yeh
Mod Shauny
: Readding the buffs is a pain
: But worth it if people really want 'em

: Part of the reason that buff had to go away in its existing form is that determining who did and didn't get the buff was really inefficient hacky nonsense

Mod Shauny
: I imagine I can tidy that up

Moltare
: it's nasty, be warned

[Leader2]
: in short i was told the buffs were removed because of the complexity of it all, i guess that was a tldr explanation? Lol

Avatar re-work: (Clarification)
: Still requires to buff the avatar and need to visit citadel to do that
: So won't bother going to the citadel.
: The ava was incentive for them to at least visit.
: You can only get the avatar pet via the interface by renewing your buff
: And to do that you need to visit the Citadel and use the Stone
: thank you for clarifying

[Leader1]
: From my understanding the ava is accessible through the pet interface, featly is still gained by capping which affects the bonus xp from the ava. In two minds about it. As I can see it could mean eventually less visitors to the citadel. Unless I have it wrong?
[Leader2]
: Less visitors to citadel? How
: Still requires to buff the avatar and need to visit citadel to do that
[Leader1]
: Some won't cap regardless
: So won't bother going to the citadel.
: The ava was incentive for them to at least visit.
Mod Shauny
: Not true [leader1]
: You can only get the avatar pet via the interface by renewing your buff
: And to do that you need to visit the Citadel and use the Stone
[Leader1]
: sweet
Mod Shauny
: When your buff runs out you can't summon the Avatar pet via "Pets" anymore
[Leader1]
thats why I asked
: thank you for clarifying
Mod Shauny
: No worries

[Leader1]
: right, but we also only have a few capping avas currently
[Leader2]
: Same [leader3]
[Leader1]
: with potentially more people, that means more to manage with it
: which I'm fine with
[Leader3]
: not really, the only thing the number of summoned avatars in rework will change is the speed at which the single avatar cap will be reached
[Leader1]
: just was wondering if a way to tell them what actually would benefit to cap ava on
: no
: they pick the resource it caps on
[Leader3]
: as it is right now you pick for each avatar, in the rework it'll be ONE setting for ALL the avatars, controlled via the stone
[Leader1]
: imagine 20 people capping avas to be faster and not all of them listened to pick charcoal
: controlled by one person, or each admin?
[Leader3]
: if one admins picks charcoal, all will go charcoal, until another admin changes
: then all the avatars switch to that
[Leader1]
: because everyone keeps repeating each admin picks it
[Leader3]
: the way I understand it is as if it's just one big avatar with one resource at a time
[Leader1]
: is that true? or can they all be capping on different resources and it just goes toward the total resource cap of avatars?
[Leader3]
: the avatar pets themselves will just determine the cap speed of the avatar gather
: not the resource
[Leader1]
: that's still weird....
[Leader3]
: it's probably done that way exactly to avoid this issue with 30+ avatars
[Leader1]
: currently they can cap on different resources
[Leader3]
: currently, yes, but it's all being changed
[Leader1]
: well, okay I guess
[Leader3]
: it'd be pretty weird if it was called the avatar rework and the avatar wasn't changing a bit
