Failure buff .....?

[Kahri]

Hi all,

So, the failure buff - is it a visible buff?

Can it be manually cancelled?

I've had the occasional quest fight where I've failed the first time, gone back and easily beaten it the second attempt, but there isn't any visible sign of a buff - so was it on or not?

The reason why I ask is if it is being applied to me, I want to have the option to disable it/take it off. I don't mind dying a few times, so long as I get a handle on what I'm supposed to be doing BEFORE the quest line moves on. I'm playing in fear that perhaps I'm passing these quest fights on easy buff mode, when I don't want that to be the case.

Can anybody allay my fears/clarify the sitch?

I was under the impression it was a buff that happened after failing multiple times? Not just once. I'd say it's just there were less surprises the other time around. Whether or not you can disable it once you do get it, I have no idea. Pretty sure, in your case, you were not under the failure buff.

Well, that's a relief ^^

In beta 4 I got this buff after a single failure. It had a visible buff icon called "The Echo". Didn't try cancelling it, but was kind of disappointed that it didn't take more tries before kicking in.

Don't worry the 'Max HP/Max Damage' buff from redoing a story fight can be canceled. I was able to click it off in the last instance I was in.

Unfortunately, the game is REALLY easy even without it.
