Post subject:  Wall Potion Stacking
Ok, so i had a fun little idea that was discussed years ago back when wall potions were first put in, but couldn't be efficiently done back then that we can do now. So i want everyone's opinion.


The idea basically goes that whenever a wall potion of any type is used, instead of making another wall, it merely reinforces the wall that is already there.

This can be done in one of a few ways:

1a. The timer for the wall that is there has it's timer added for another full pot cycle so that it lasts longer
1b. It adds a charge to the wall, so that it can be dispelled and instead uses up a charge rather than dissapears
1c. the timer of the wall is reset to the maximum for 1 pot cycle.

Or any combination of those. The basic idea was doing 2 and 3, so that everytime a wall potion is used it adds another charge to the wall and resets the timer to what it would be if the pot was just used.

This also has the added bonus of giving us another set of options:

2a. Leave walls the way they are, dispel always works, and mass dispel always works
2b. Make walls take off a charge when hit with dispel or mass dispel
2c. Make walls take off a charge with mass dispel, but removes a wall with any number of charges on singular dispel.
2d. Make walls take off a charge with singular dispel, but removes a wall with any number of charges on mass dispel.
2e. Give walls a % chance to resist dispel, based on how much timer they have left. Newer walls are harder to dispel.

So, what i'd like to know is what your thoughts on these are, and what options you think you'd like best. If you have your own ideas, add them up and lets hear them.
The immediate gain will be that this will cut down on the items created when people spam wall pots. Now instead of 18 x 20 wall pots, you'll prob just have like 30 or so. The secondary gain is it gives you some options to determine how you want pvp to be shaped, since some people think the current system is nice and others thing it blows.

Now if you like the current system, the options you will want are 1b, 1c, and 2d.

well, what ever fixes the lag with wall pots works for me lol

but walls should last shorter periods, they last wayyy to long specially the ones casted threw spell lol,.
seems like u can fall asleep and wake up and the walls are still there.
but i have no idea how many people agree with me, i would rather you work on balance b4 walls and stuff,,, like direct balance with no walls and stuff just pure pvp balance lol

i could care less about the walls if u cant pvp, so fix the pvp then walls :)

Honestly, I like the way the system is now. Being able to trap your opponent in a tiny corner of a wall is one of the things in pvp that I find fun and cool. Its all your call on what gets implemented but as long as the lag chaos is fixed, I'll be cool with whatever. That's my 2 cents.

I could care less how they go up, either way is good imo but i would like to see the pots themselves stackable in your pack in fact i dont see why all pots arent stackable.

iori if im correct, all pots are stackable besides e walls fire walls and stonewalls.


but ya stone walls, it would be nicer if ther stackable,

o and my last post, i ment to say the cast able stone walls, the stone walls with pots are ok,,,, last night they seemed to last really short lol, almost to short, but that was when i was pvming, lol + the lag spikes really didnt help

dingding dong ding

N>>>

the more you know ;)

jk btw drizzy no offense lol


but to answer iori, each world save or fail, it makes the next batch or next potion not match with the current ones, so they start stacking in a different location, and cant be stacked with the previous ones..

i dunno if i explained it good .............but ya lol
