    Default Do NOT lower prices on Potions please

    I think the system is spot on. I cannot spam the potion button and rush through a level as I could do in PL. Now I must stick around an engineer, let the tank run in first (Gasp!) and as a tank use all my abilities in a smart manner to keep the attackers down. This is a great thing! This game is all about teamwork!

    Another reason why potions should not be made cheaper: I have something to use my credits on now! In PL I had a ton of money that I would never use and just stash it away. Now I have something worthwhile to spend on

    So guys, stop complaining about potions and charge into mobs with a team mentality!

    You don't get it though, havent you wondered why the tanks are staying back? We are physically unable to tank because we cant keep up with the healing, the engineers can't heal us fast enough, and without the pots we die too fast. The fundamental character in any winning team is powerless if they cant afford to stay healed. A temporary price drop to say.. 1200c for 100 stims would do wonders! 300 less and wed be able to keep up that much more. If they were dropped even more, to 1000c for 100 stims, then there would be no more tanking problems and the game could be played properly.

    Sorry Punktate, i think this is false my first char was a commando, and i capped him to 21 in beta, and i had no problem tanking at all. Rare it was to use pots. Now my main is a engineer, and i have no problem keeping my tanks alive. Thats as the only engineer, add in a second or third engineer and peoples health never hits half. Maybe you need to find better friends.

    Both of you are right in your own way. Maybe they're trying to push guilds. Stim packs are cheaper in guild halls right? There should be a happy medium. Maybe increase the drop rate slightly for stim packs so you don't have to rely on buying them quite as much. As it is, I agree that stim packs are a bit of a hinderance right now, but I also like the fact that money means more in SL because it is comparatively scarce. You definitely have to be much more conservative with spending and actually farm gold occasionally. I never had to worry about farming gold in PL. It's just not necessary.

    Tier 3 gives 50% off Stims, so 750 per 100.

    Or you can go with tier 2 which also gives the 50% discounted stims, but no discounted enhancers.

    Interesting. Didn't know that. Do they have credit elixirs? Tier 3 offers some.

    No I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the PL Invictus is also related to Invictus in other games.

    Regarding stim/power usage, I'm also running a bit thin on credits to buy many since I haven't farmed yet. But I am surviving, you just need some strategy when playing. It can be hard at lower levels though when many people don't know how to play. Most of them stay back all the time.

    Wow a stimless tank. Yeah stims are 750 in higher guild tiers as pot enhancers and discounted too.
    Anyways yes as a tank it gets very costly and its no better on operative class too. If ya want to save credits make a engineer for farming.

    Im not sure.. but don't think any cares.. I think its quite rude to join Longsteaks thread to try and recruit members.. doesn't give your guild any positive credit..

    ON TOPIC** My main is a Tank and through 1st 2 lvls of Numa its not neccesary to use any stim even a very low amount when solo'n the other 3 lvs then you will need at least 30-50 to last through a Guardian run which drops depending if you have a reliable team (or Engi's) then you may need 10-20 at the most.

    But im with Zero on this one if you need to farm c/loot/stim best way is having an Engi alt.. as you can just put everything gained into your stash switch to main and take it out **wollah

    I don't believe they do have discounted Exlirs/Enhancers.. that's why Tier 3 becomes worth having (Though I haven't ever bought these with c)

    Remember, joining a guild is optional. Some people prefer to be guildless. Joining a guild should not have to required to save credits.

    Anyways, at the first 12 levels of my commando, I was struggling...A LOT with stims. Vigor skill helped some but so many engineers wouldnt heal me. But it gets easier lol. I sort of like how high priced and not affordable (ish) pots are. But I can see why people would want it changed. Really? Nobody wants to spend 5 plat for en engineer to pot/cred farm.


    My point, dont change it. Its great as it is!
