Dusk Wrote:Pots dropping from the sky is a HILARIOUS idea. Imagine the scramble for pots. "wtp you stole my Elixi-*dies*"Not to mention the lag this generates. Remember all the Snowballs falling from the sky at the Snowman boss? THAT was the primary cause of the insane lag that the boss was subjecting channels to. The game has to keep track of all the items on the map, and the time they appeared, and how much time they have left before they disappeared, the quantity in each stack... That's a LOT of information that has to be sent to everyone in the map. Doing that at a big boss which could easily kill you, and then putting your life on the line by making those potions be your only means of healing is just insane.
Actually, that happens in CPQ already. I use my very well-equipped Fighter to help low-leveled friends win a lot of CPQs a row. You wouldn't expect a fighter with 3k+ HP to die very often, but sometimes, the low levels eat through the pots at an insane rate.
