Default Transmogrifier Potions

I don't know if this is in the right spot so if it gets closed or needs to be moved I am sorry.

Alrite. Transmogrifier Potions! I had so many left over from xmas and halloween and they were just sitting in my storage. Well now with the Party Animal title I thought I will use one.

So i did and started waiting duration to wear(for like 5 secs) Then i realized I'm in gtob and can zone to isle use one zone back. So I was thinking. This is a quick way to get Party Animal. AND I don't think it should be. I think transmogrifier Potions should not just wear off if you zone. Thus making it harder for people to have a stack or 2 and just use zone use zone use zone.

I know I will get flamed for saying this because people will say ZOMG THIS TITLE MAX IS 10000 DON'T TAKE AWAY EASY WAYS TO SHORTEN IT. To all those i say. I was playing nine rings(well afking it.) I was coming back to the comp and saw some others that were afk or were just there for last few rounds. They already had r1 so it definately is not a hard title to max.

The only reason I am saying this is because the Potions cost 2 points and it took me roughly 5 minutes(maybe 10) to use all 600 and sum potions i had.

EDIT: I also bought a ton(during the 2 events) for guild prizes and to just have fun with friends. Ever seen 50+ dancing elves in ab area(i have). That is why I had so many. Not because i just randomly had that many left over from trick or treat bags and present boxes

I'm fine with them resetting. What if you accidentally clicked one and then you were tired of being a elf...

I *hate* being an ugly stupid elf.

Candy cane not that bad, but I prefer the look of my character.

I'm all for the zone byebye effect.

Also, people go for party animal/sweet tooth because they don't want to deal with the drunkard-title-time-effect.

Yea, I just don't like that the title can be gotten so quikly so cheaply. Transmog potions can be bought for 100g. They give 2 points. So 500 give r1. Takes 5 mins after buying them all to get it. I guess I was just trying to make a title showing you have that much money to waste a little bit better then the ones out there already. O well. I guess 500k will be the going price for this title.

I don't just zone wildly to waste potions, but I've been using one every time I move to a new area. I do a lot of easy mission/area assistance for people while dressed as an elf. They like it, I have fun helping out, and I'm maxing my title at the same time.

And considering the time wasted to get drunkard, I don't think we need another "double click, wait a minute, double click again" sort of title. >_>

There are people already with rank 2. And with the lunar fortunes, I had around 300 fireworks thrown at me. Those take seconds to spam and use all up. I don't think it really matters.

you have a bunch of them and you are upset that its benefiting you for them to reset? It would just make them kinda useless for party animal title if you had to wait 50 minutes or log out each time or something. Plus no one would buy them as much, i dont see your arguement >.>

If rezoning didn't remove the transmogrifier effect people would just log out and in repeatedly. Both ways are pretty sucky. I'd much rather see an improvement in making it possible to use another transformation tonic while under effect of one.
Elf->CandyGuy->Elf->Beetle->Elf...

As for making it last full duration no matter the rezoning, it would be sometimes cool sometimes not, it sucks if you just used one and need to move to other district for some reason and you only had that one (casual player that doesn't care about titles), but for some reason you may want this effect to end (you used it just for title and can't stand how it looks for example).

As for title difficulty, the other 1 point things can just be spammed, whole stacks in no time... It's not the next Drunkard where time matters, It's just another Sweet Tooth.

They give only 2 points because they are removed when you zone. If they where permanent, they would give 20..25 points or so. Just compare it with spirit drinks.

Re-log.

It's not like the other things take long to add party animal points, so little elves zoning is no biggie.

Maybe a cool idea would be if it was a bit like the drunkard system, for example: you get 1 point for Party Animal for every 5 minutes being an elf. That way you can get more points form a single potion but obviously zoning would be counter-productive

Potions are boring. I probably keep less than five in my bank at one time and only use one before I go around a big city spamming fireworks. With the prices as they are now, you can probably sell a tonic and get two other one-point party items out of it. Go ahead and spam those.

Sometimes you want the effect to wear off when you get bored of the look without having to switch characters.


I think that if you use it in town, zoning should eliminate the effect (especially if you're only using them for the party title), but if you were out fighting or something, it might be cool to have it stay for the full duration while going from explorable zone to explorable zone.

It also might be fun if it was like a maintained enchantment (for the 50 minute duration) so you could keep it while zoning or you could remove it when you wanted.

w/e u say, log out, log in ftw? LMAO

And don't tell me it should stay even after log out. Why? Because it will make GW lag insanely for the lack of memory storage.
