Drunkard Buff - Guild Wars Forums

Today, already?

Come on, it's already annoying as hell guessing when to drink more, and the *FIX* (EG nerf) to zone drinking just made things worse.

TODAY? I see it for my sweet buffs. CLUE THE F* UP ALREADY. Or, just remove the stupid 3/5 BS, and make it 1/1 chug time.

What are you referring to?

Would it be nice if they all had an enchant icon like grog, yes.
Absolutely necessary no! No guessing required tho really, just open your title track window and keep on eye on your minutes going up.

Hollygen · Jan 10, 2009, 01:18 PM // 13:18

But you don't need to guess. The minutes tick round on your title track so you can watch that. Or set an alarm to go off every 1/2/3 minutes, or if you're using the stronger booze just wait for the postprocessing to clear.

Or just buy grogs =P

But there was Supposed to be an update?

Codin The Great · Jan 10, 2009, 04:04 PM // 16:04

Yeah i never figured out why after the introduction of sweets with the sugar rush effect, why they either never changed booze to work like sweets, where as you consume one you get a point. Booze is still only drink up to 5 and wait for a few mins then drink some more. Although I believe the reason they will never change how the IAH title is obtained is because it would take away the accomplishments of the people who obtained it when it was more difficult to get. There is still a big difference in time invested between clicking away at 10,000 beers, as compared to actually being drunk 10,000 minutes, even with the zone trick.

As for why booze never got an enchantment logo...there was no need it already has a special effect. And since you can get drunk in a instanced area as well, having another enchantment logo on you can be annoying, not to mention they would have to change it so it couldn't be stripped off my enemies.

Would i like to see beers get changed to: Just click on them as much as u want and everyone counts as points/mins towards my title track with no 5 min max condition. Yes.

Do I think it would be fair and will happen: No.

Is this supposed to be in Sardelac? I'm not sure what question the OP is asking....

He's asking why there isn't a timer added to drunk already. And had it been in Sardelac, it'll be closed after a short round of +1/use search posts.

*shrugs I don't care either way.

BUFF == little icon that indicates your status and time remaining.

Obviously I know you can monitor your status with some obnoxious dialog box (that rescrolls every zone change), as I have drunkard at 50% of MAX TITLE (that's 5k for you nubs[WITHOUT ZONE TRICK]).

There's no reason at all there still isn't an icon indicating your status - it already exists for both party and sweet titles. The visual effect is a lag enhancer and annoying (also). It's bad enough that your char will stop actions every once in a while to stutter, but come on - green/blurry graphics? I don't want it, and it isn't purty.

FWIW, I now run with the drunk boxing skill (33% speed/attack), and update it twice for 3 minute timer in-game. Still messed up, but whatever.

Belicosos Finos · Jan 20, 2009, 09:12 AM // 09:12

If you dont like green/blurry graphics whilst drunk. F11, graphics tab and untick the post processing option. voila. no more green/blurry graphics.

Heh, but then how do I know when it wore off (post-processing = lag)...

As in, I ALREADY DISABLED IT. Oh, sorry, but back to the initial buff infos...
