Thanks so much! No separate speed pot anymore, though, just Trash Can Punch? Or am I reading the spreadsheet wrong?

Not sure if these questions have been answered:
If you switch characters, does the elixir switch to the new character?
If not, will it be back (minus the time on the other character) when you switch back?
If you are DCd and come back, will the elixir still be there?
If you log off and come back, will the elixir still be there (minus the time you were logged off)?

I think the approach to the pricing needs to be changed. The way it is, if the majority of players even think about paying 40 plat then they won't sit there buying them all day. I don't see myself personally paying 40 plat even for something I get to keep forever (vanity hats are 10-15 plat?). Lower the prices and change a one time deal into something players will buy daily. Either that or make them last longer. This will be the only thing in game that has the potential to generate daily plat usage daily by a large amount of players. I could see myself paying 20 plat for elixirs a day while leveling if they last me most of the day. Who knows maybe one day I would use 40 plat, but as it stands I wouldn't even think about paying that much for 30 minutes.
When elixirs were coins only, 90% of the people I was with were using them. Now I've seen one person using an elixir since the change. So pricing is a huge deal. Not even thinking about player approval, if you look at it from a business perspective you'll see a few things. First, 3x damage is huge. Players wouldn't mind paying for a luxury like that. I just think this is a little too ambitious. I see more money and happier players from a majority of the players paying a lower price almost daily than a few hundred paying a higher price a few times a month. The main spine wasn't made free for no reason. They stand to make a great deal more money if they change income to something that can be purchased over and over again compared to a map where you only pay one time.
We keep track of elixirs per character in real-world time. If you buy a 30 minute, then log out for 25 minutes, when you log in, you'll have 5 minutes left. Disconnects, character switches, etc. are all considered log outs.
We are, however, going to automatically refund elixirs purchased for Platinum that have not expired due to server downtime. So, if you buy a 30 minute elixir, and then 10 minutes later you get a message the server is going down in 5 minutes, you'll have your full Platinum amount refunded. We don't need to do this for gold because we give 5 minute warnings on server shutdown, gold elixirs are only 5 minutes, and you can't buy an elixir during the shutdown period.
We decided to keep the elixir list small to start with. The pure luck and pure speed ones weren't selling as much as the others.
Prices are what we came up with. If you don't want to buy the expensive elixir, buy the cheaper ones. As many of you know, we tweak prices all the time.

Finally. Hope we see it soon..the only feed back i got is that you should make all the 5 min elixers gold and the 30 min elixers platinum..for those who have it could be worth the money...as you have seen nobody is gonna spend money on elixers unless their spoiled rotten or wealthy which is like a 1/3 of the population playin this game. Thats why i think you should make all the 5 min elixers into gold and all the 30 min elixers into plat. Feel me devs. MORE BANG FOR UR BUCK.
Saw the update announcement. Pretty disappointed...only 1.5x elixir for gold. What about the 2x elixir. I never really cared for the 3x elixir all that much and I'm happy for it to stay a premium plat item but the 2x...come on...it should be for gold, like it used to be.
Anyway, just saying.
I am very excited about this im going to be able to level my bird so quickly
sweet thanks

Very happy with the new system. This will improve things for everyone
One thing I would love to be able to do is purchase multiple elixers and activate them like potions. Have a third space next to your health and mana potions for your elixers so you can buy several and just tap to activate. Maybe need a popup or something to select which one if you have more than one type but would still be easier than going through the plat menu and finding the right one while everyone else is running ahead.

>>> I'm on the SRINGY list <<<
yeah that would be cool but i accidently use a potion in towne wasting a potion and if the elixirs are right next to the potions I will use one and end up wasting either plat or gold...
