Stat Potion CDs need some addressing please.

Hello,

We don't currently have any plans of changing the re-use timer for items.

As boss battles within instanced dungeons and primal battles can last longer than five minutes, the game has been balanced so that an item can be used once every five minutes and using any more than this would off-set the necessity for certain roles. The system was designed to ensure that the convenience of items isn't placed above other functions.

You guys don't have plans to change anything. Seriously just make a nice big-lettered stick in front on the forum top that says "We don't have plans to change anything".

You think people really give a crap about some 15 sec duration potions? I tested them, they SUCK. Mega potion of str gives a max of 61 str, but it barely makes my damage go up at all, and for a measly 15 second duration and 4m30 sec cooldown (HQ stats)? They are a waste of time. Tell that dev team that they are a waste of time.

And seriously you cant remove the relevance of any single of the roles by upping the duration or lowering the cooldown, or both, because there is a potion that would be good for every class had all of them not sucked. Healers - mind potions, Bards - dex potions, Meleers - Str potions, casters - int potions, casters or healers - pie potions, tanks - vit or str potions. Where is the "o noes this class is useless because we made potions worth something" that you guys see? You think Dragoon or something is going to use a vit potion that has a 1m duration and suddenly be best tank 2013?

Go try coil and then tell me they don't make a world of difference on turn 4, where you're put under very strict time limits and DPS requirements..

LOL, let em have it Reika! As someone who works in testing + support, I really feel for the community reps having to chant this like a mantra, giving reasons that defy logic...

I couldn't agree more with this. I've been following all dev answers to suggestions made by the community and all of them are:

"Hey guys, thanks for your time and for making these suggestions, but we actually don't care about your feedback and aren't planning to change anything."

Making suggestions for this game is a big waste of time. It doesn't even matter if they're supported by the entire community, nothing will be changed.
