Seriously? A 1-hour cool down?!?!?

[Endrik]

Is this for real? An ability that lasts for 10 seconds has a 1-hour cool down?




If it is only going to last 10 seconds, a 1-2 minute cool down might be appropriate. If they made the effect last for 10 minutes, then maybe a 1-hour cool down. As is, I am just at a total loss.

The cooldown for Warcry makes no sense at all. I could be a useful ability to have in PvM with a 1 or 2 minutes cool down. But 1 hour, and you have to be logged for it count.
I want to have whatever whoever design and thought this was a good idea was drinking at the time, because if it messes one's ideas so badly, it must be the real good stuff.

uhh, in 59 minutes.

On a serious note, there are lots of timers that need to be relaxed a little. This one, gating escorts, the cooldown on those suits no one uses, because of the cool down on those suits no one uses.

I guarantee we will never, ever see a developer try to defend this choice with a straight face. It'll either be changed quietly or ignored forever,

I know how you feel. Sad part is I had read about the cool down before I bought the primer. Just had one of those moments. I must say though, the passive ability that increases your mana is worth the primer on some setups.

What? You want a new ability to actually be useful at launch (or within six months of its addition)? What game are you playing?

Honestly the only thing that makes sense is that was supposed to be a 60 second cool down and a Dev missed a decimal place. If i was a part of the Dev Team this is the excuse id use haha.

I remember posting about this: Masteries & Cooldowns | Stratics

It seems the devs must not think the cool-downs are so bad.

well lets be honest.... one would need to play the game to understand what the cool downs should be.
and there in lays the problem.

dont take what the people who have been playing the game day in and day out for 18+ years, what do they know about game play.

good lord is it 5am?
18+ years and still able to pull a all nighter, sometimes i amaze myself!

Must've been some Monday morning detail that got screwed up.

I can understand if the developers feel 60 seconds is too short, but 60 minutes is just way too damn long. I think 2 to 5 minutes would be far more than enough for this particular ability.

Wow, used this last night and found out, its 1 hr of ingame cooling off too, ridiculous.

Another situation where the UO staff is completely out of touch with how the actual game works.

This definately has to be changed
