I think it'd be cool to have booze that can be used anywhere, instantly gets you to max drunkness level and has infinite uses, but does not count towards the drunkard title. Or, you could make it count, I guess... I don't care either way.

I just think it'd be nice to be able to buy everlasting ale, everlasting spiked eggnog, everlasting grog, etc. Could make it a rare drop from the zchest like monthly tonics. Or maybe even a completely new drink related to balthazar or the zaishen and gave you unique dialog that your character randomly yells out.

Maybe an everlastinc tonic of some npc that is known for being constantly drunk and when you use it you get the drunk visual effect on your screen for its duration?

Just some thoughts...

the tonic of a know drunk character in game would be cool. and they could make ti count towards the drunkard title but i assume it would cost exactly what it would cost to buy all the aclohol you use for a title

Much better idea than everlasting fireworks. Would be kinda cool if it didn't add to drunkard title.

Aye. For instance, it could make all those skills that have extra benefits while drunk actually meaningful on characters other than your Drunkard, for those who are pursuing that title.

SpiritThief · May 07, 2009, 08:37 AM // 08:37

How about make it count for 60 mins of drunkard points. Click it, afk for hour +60

Cebe · May 07, 2009, 09:39 AM // 09:39

I don't see them allowing it to add to the drunkard title, like everlasting tonics don't add anything to the party animal title track. The Dwarvern skills which gain bonuses from you being drunk may benefit from this, however, assuming it allowed you to be drunk, but didn't contribute to the title. It may be a convenient way of keeping an everlasting supply of alcohol on your person for use with such skills.

All things considered, I'm not in favour. Surely this would just cheapen the title?

Lol, OP is drunk!
Cheers, bro...

Ishardee · May 07, 2009, 10:09 AM // 10:09

Surely it wouldn't count towards any title... Just like the E-Tonics and Crates. It's quite obvious me thinks

Good point, but there's not that much of these skills and they aren't very powerful.

Fun of "treating" your character, role-playing and any social in-game gatherings/meetings would be gone. Why bother if everyone's carring around some Neverending Booze

Not that I'm into these things - it's just a thought of what it could be like for some players.

I'm somehow quite sure that they had been consdering it before - just think about Keg of Aged Hunter's Ale... Maybe that's enough for now?

Signed if you can actually buy it from a merchant.

Not signed if it's going to be one of those extremely rare ones like the everlasting tonics, because there's no way I (or most other players) would be able to get it then, and thus, no reason I could see to add it.

As far as counting towards Drunkard title goes - I'm not really interested in the title, so I'd rather see a fairly easy to obtain everlasting booze that doesn't contribute to title. Sure, everyone would be able to get it fairly quickly - and that's the point. We'd get something fun to have and to make use of those dwarven skills, and the title seekers don't need to worry about their hard work becoming meaningless.

Sweet idea. Always enjoyed running around screaming 'I love you man!'.

Would also be very hulpful for the skills with added benefit when drunk.

But no points would be given of course.

/Signed for an everlasting booze that doesn't provide drunkard points.

Make it available as a Z-coin reward at the same price as an everlasting crate of fireworks and call it a 'Klein bottle of ale' (because you can't ever reach the bottom of a Klein bottle

).

Now, if we could buy an everlasting Random Tonic with Z-coins as well there would actually be a good incentive to do the daily quests

MithranArkanere · May 07, 2009, 02:33 PM // 14:33

Hm... All I can think right now about it is this:

Cornucopia + Drinking Horn + Synthehol = ...

Everlasting Drinking Horn
Item. Double Click to drink a gulp of a random syntheholic beverage. This item has unlimited uses.

Pros:
- You get to see all acoholic post-processing effects anytime.
- You can freely activate the drunkard PvE skills without fear of running out of booze.
Cons:
- You don't earn points towards Drunkard.

It could be available for... let's say... 25 gZCoins.

Shayne Hawke · May 07, 2009, 02:56 PM // 14:56

I'll drink to that.

I support these.

ArenaNet, looking for something to do? Implement these two ideas. Everlasting tonics and booze made available at a reasonable price, with no title contribution, purely for the benefit of fun. What's not to like?

I'd say it would have to be at least equal price in gold z coins to the everlasting crate of fireworks. After all it can be used anywhere and works as you suggest with PvE skills. Greater than crates imo.
