Mist Potion failed to take.
« on: September 27, 2022, 04:34:32 AM »
I utilized the mist potion, went and cleared Lysaga, rested, and tried to pass through the mist wall at hour 16- and it would not let me through, causing me to lose out on my plans for the night. 


Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men

It states that it works until 5pm, not for two hours, unless I failed to read properly.  Either way, it let me down today.

It probably cleared the buff when you rested. Just my guess. Maybe it can be written into the code that it persists through rest if that's the case.

It should be persisting through rests already, but we'll certainly have a look at the coding. The effects should have been good before 18:00 in-game.

Yastian still sells potions past 5 PM and I think it's a bit misleading, not to mention a bit arbitrary. The potion effect should last hours after taking, not just until a specified time at night. I just watched six people all have the same experience of buying several elixirs because the effect would not stick, to then run to the mist wall at 5 PM and be kicked out despite overdosing on the elixir.

I truly wish this mechanic would just go away.

Too many regrets. Lost chances – and with each one passing the less human we all became, and the deeper into the nightmare of power we all sank.

I guess an alternative would be letting him come out at 5AM and going back in at 5PM instead of 6 and 6

I liked the old system better. Created some nice rp every now and then when people were missing the potion and someone had extra.. I dont think losin 2 inventory slot was such a big deal.
