What is your suggestion?:

 

Limit the countdown timer on boosters to just time in raids/gauntlet

In other words, make it so that the 1 hour of boost is only counting the time when players are actually in the raid/gauntlet.

 

(not talking about drop boosters)

 

How would this benefit Alora?:

 

Raid boosters boost raid points by 35% for 1 hour.

Gauntlet boosters boost the chance of gauntlet uniques by 25% for 1 hour.

 

----------------

 

Currently, players need to log out in between raids/gauntlet to pause the booster timer.

 

This gets very frustrating.  Say you're raiding with a fully boosted 4 man team. 

When one person needs a 1 minute bathroom break, this costs the team 4 minutes of booster time.

Alternative, the team members can each log out to pause the timers, but this makes grouping up again more difficult.

 

-----------------

 

Under the current system, players are essentially forced to stick to 1 activity for the entire duration of the booster.

Plus, there's little point in popping more than 1 booster at a time.

 

-----------------

 

Under the new suggested system, players would be encouraged to go on herb and birdhouse runs in between these challenging activities without wasting valuable booster time.  

Also, grouping up in lobby and replacing team members that g2g will no longer consume valuable booster time.

 

-----------------

 

This quality of life fix would encourage more players to purchase and use boosters.

A player could pop 10 raid boosters all at once and enjoy a 35% boost in raid points for the next 10 hours he raids at his own convenience (like at blast furnace).

At blast furnace, gp in the coffer is only consumed when a player is actually spending time in the blast furnance.

 

It wouldn't make sense for Ordan at blast furnace to charge you for the time you spend bank standing in edgeville...

The same way... it doesn't make sense for Omicron to charge you for the time you spend not raiding/running gauntlet.

 

There has to be a better way to support the server without having to log out all the time.

No support.

 

A suggestion semi-related to this was recently declined: https://www.alora.io...boosters-bonus/

The above suggestion was to add more time to boosters based off of rank, which would essentially be the same thing as this. I think the current way boosters work is fine as it is. Making you make the most of your time, pushing for faster raids and quicker re-gears and getting ready. Vote books work the same way, if we make boosters work like this might as well make vote book bonus exp timer only go down when you're skilling so I don't have to log out when I need to pee, or I can do a raid in-between my skilling and not waste vote book timer.

I'd love to see Raid boosters/Gauntlet boosters be based on amount rather than time.

E.g popping a Raid booster will give you 5 Raids, and a completion or wipe will count as 1 raid, and so on. 

Would encourage me to use a lot more boosters rather than using one and having to only focus on that one content for the remainder of the boost.

 

If we can't get this ^, then I support your suggestion.

[Lucas]

No support.

In my opinion it's fine as it is.

[beans n cake]

Think raid boosters would be nice as for CoX sometimes you can burn a couple minutes scouting for a raid. Gauntlet boosters neutral as I don't really think much time is burnt on those, chest is only a few tiles away so usually only 10 seconds is wasted

[Tauri]

I do not support this suggestion, because this allows people to scout CoX layouts more easily without getting punished whilst they're on boosters and overall it would not make sense to me.

[Fopaanz]

No support, boosters are already op.

[RNG Bitch]

Would make boosters way too OP. No support

[Selenagomez]

I support. It doesn't make sense for the booster to run out if you have to afk or lets say you're raiding, your raid finishes and right before you go into your next raid a supply chest is about to show up and you want to go for it. Why do you have to sacrifice time on your booster that you paid IRL for, or ingame gp (either way someone paid irl money for it) because something spontaneous happened that you want to do?

 

This literally hurts nobody and wont hurt the prices of the booster either (might go down a tiny bit because you have to theoretically use less but i doubt it will go down very much, maybe like 1m or something)

 

 

I do not support this suggestion, because this allows people to scout CoX layouts more easily without getting punished whilst they're on boosters and overall it would not make sense to me.

Why did you even write this? "force people to do a bad raid layout just because they are on a booster" Why would you want to "punish" your own words btw, the players of the server?

This is also a good suggestion, but 5 seems like a bit too much considering right now even if you're quick you can usually get like 2-3, so 2 MAYBE 3 per booster would be good. (2 just so whiny people dont call it too op)

Is it just me or is Lunchy comparing apples to oranges?

@Varlant Is your suggestion the same as mine?

What he suggested was adding more time to boosters. Pausing a booster after a raid would add more time to the booster. As I said, it's not the exact same thing but it is semi-related to a booster altering suggestion that was already declined because boosters are fine how they are. I wouldn't support pausing a vote book when you're not doing whatever activity you used the vote book on for the same reason, the time shouldn't pause to save more time, just push to be faster or re-gear faster imo.

I am you, you are me, we are one, but our suggestions are not the same. I will support because I think boosters need a revamp but I was declined either way. But I SUPPORT your message

You just flipped flopped from saying its 'essentially the same' to 'semi-related'

 

You and your identical twin are essentially the same.  You and the ape Baba appear to be semi-related.  

 

Your best reason for not supporting?  It's fine the way it is.  

 

If we can suggest vote book improvements, I don't see why we can't suggest raid/gauntlet booster improvements.

I used the exact word "semi-related" in both posts xd
