Hail Guest! Please read the new announcement concerning the upcoming addition to Stratics. You can find the announcement Here!
As much as I hate potions and how they ruin PvP, the change to two stones is quite dumb. Rather than reducing how much people use potions it just makes it more annoying having to restock constantly as well as being unable to fully loot people anymore.

THIS!
Honestly...
the only things the potion weight change did is:
- Make it so you cannot loot other peoples pots because you are loaded with your own
- Beat any char with alchemy in the face (cant carry a ton of exp/conflag pots)
- Hurt elves because humans can carry alot more potions
Like i've mentioned before, if you have alchemy your potion weight should eb scaled, or you should be able to carry an "alchemists satchel" with weight reduction.

Cetric you talk a lot of sense, however i'm always inherently against anything that doesn't simplify the game.
Agreed.
or just make it so you don't have to use 46 GC pots to cure 1 charge of LPNeeds to be changed back to ONE STONE!!!
With the new POISON changes & SHATTER POTIONS you run out of everything in just a few minutes.
SHATTER POTIONS are dumb... delete them
I think the weight of potions needs to be increased again lolNeeds to be changed back to ONE STONE!!!

2 stones/empty 4 stones/full for healing/cure potions only.
Uh, no. Time for a cranial/rectal extraction.....

10 potions 1 stone, replace the timer with pvp weakening (the more you drink the more damage you take from a player blow for a certain time) and voilà, alchemy back on pvm and pvp not screwed up. Is this asking for the moon?

I sell and use potions, so obviously I'm going to be biased toward any change that increases the utility of pots
I agree...Shatter Pots Really...?
I laught at the newbs that actually use them, I guess people run out of red pots and die...that is sad.
They only end the fight so I can go restock...is that what we need in PVP?

Satchel is the best idea ever.
I'd like to purchase this with my two cents.

The problem is that in pvm you need 500 of each type to make some use out of it.
You just need to carry your pots in a keg. 50 pots alone = 100 stone. 50 pots in a keg = 50 stones (just like before the changes). Can't believe more people have not figured this out yet.

Done that. Doesn't change anything, still too heavy. That's why i said 10 bottles 1 stone.
I agree, pots are a Major crutch, however I am curious, are Shatter Potions still obtainable?
I've only used 1-2 of em, that I've looted from someone... lowering the amount of resources that your opponent has is Amazing.
I am also curious if Shatter Potions, are used on someone who only carries shatter potions, would it break those as well?
NEED? lol, like everyone NEEDS to be a mystic to heal EVERYTHING all at once? or deal massive AoE damage? and NEEDS to be a mystic for the best transformation in the game.
Just a lame excuse for a lack of balance, or maybe to quick and not as well thought out balance. Keep it simple so the majority can do it.. yeah.. then the skilled will be less rewarded.. I'll end this before it gets to deep
.Wtf does weight even matter anyways? to limit people? from what? carrying to many macefighting weapons? woopie... stacked pots can't be insured anyways and what happens when a resource dependent character dies? Items get looted. Just more for the looters...

I would have to disagree. The last time things got lighter there went the reagent looting. I think the weight is fine. Leave it. LRC killed the reg market and took away the need to restock.

People adapted very well: noone uses potions in pvm anymore. I think i'm the only pvmer left that still carries a handful of conflagration bottles, and just for sentimental reasons.
Negative. My sampire still carries a full allotment of potions including trap box and apples..

I think it is a great change. Weight needs to be used to prevent just what you are all complaining about.Needs to be changed back to ONE STONE!!!

Having tons of potions, weapons, armor etc in your pack to freely switch and use is just plain silly.
Might as well just have a potion IV set up that drips into your veins.
Id even like to see drinking a potion disrupted or a you only swallow half.
