Mystic Fortune Annoyance

Funny thing is the de-buff/buff is not a game breaking, play ruining or instant death kind of thing. More posts have been logged here over this "puchased power" than other real game problems (scarey).

My 2 cents, make it a prompt for all buffs like TP prompt. You either get or not (the prompt). Either that or learn to play with buffs given in the spirit they are intended (it's an MMO after all, you know playing with others etc...) or go find yourself a stand alone game to play without other people interacting with you...

Bottom line hating the way other people play/buff/don't buff is fine until you are looking to get a badge for a TF or something that requires more than your solo play!!!

LIVE WITH IT!!!

They should just remove all targetted, persistent buffs from the game. I mean no one wants to be on the receiving end of one of those annoying buffs! All those flashy graphics effects are going to clash with your costume and character theme anyways. Plus there's the benefit it would make the game slightly harder! So say yes to removal of all targetted buffs. Let's have debuffs and self buffs only!

Say no to SB, ID, CM, force shields, ice shields, fire shields, frostworks and forges! They are poorly designed anyways and last way too long! At most they should absorb just one hit and go down. I mean now they let blasters and other squishies rival scrappers and tankers if someone casts them at them. Blasters and defenders should be squishy and die easily!

Optionally make them all have a prompt so no one has to suffer them. I mean if fortune gets one, shouldn't all buffs get one?

If they insist on keeping the prompt in they need to make it where I can set it to auto-accept. Simple as that. Doing anything less creates and unnecessary nuisance. I do not want that gods damned popup showing up in the middle of combat. It pisses me off.

Lol...I knew it...

I was so pissed when they re-added the prompt to mystic fortune. I just knew it was because some ragers decided to spam the devs because they are too proud to be getting buffs. Seriously, there isn't a prompt for Increase Density or Speed Boost, there isn't a prompt for Therm shields (which i know sends some computers to hell). There's no prompt for Enforced Morale. These are things that I know some people consider detrimental at times, but we don't see having to prompt every time we get hit by a buff that some raging kid decides they are too good to have or can't stand the little tiny detrimental effect along with the larger improvement. Sure, there are buffs that I don't really like getting, but I'd rather have them than nothing. Maybe your build sucks that you can't deal with a tiny accuracy debuff, but that's your problem, don't make it mine.
Do you know how annoying it is to try to hit "accept" on your prompt durring an AV fight or a big group battle, or while trying to herd? Those are times that having every buff can be a big help, but taking the time to find where the hell my cursor is so I can click my accept button might mess something up.

As others have said, make an auto-accept or auto-reject available. Then we can all be happy.

ZzzzZZZzZZZ--Wha? This again?

I had one cast on me as I engaged in combat last night. It happened because the enemies were too close to the door and started attacking almost immediately. Meanwhile the guy with me had activated his fortune power.

While I was stuck in the animation, I was able to move and attack while doing it. It was pretty funny seeing my martial artist slide over to the Warhulk and attack it by throwing her hands forward in a sort of double-downward slap.

(my opinion is that I liked not being prompted but it's nothing to get upset over)

Just because people don't like it doesn't mean that not having the prompt was working as intended. The reason the prompt was there was because the buff lasted 20 minutes. Rather than crying about the prompt coming back people should spend that energy on getting them to and the Autobuff/Autoreject/Prompt option. After that no one will have a reason to come here and cry about having to click the prompt or having someone do a buff drive-by.

Quick reply:

I find all this somewhat amusing, having been a veteran of many anti-SB campaigns here in the past. During those, we had what felt like 500 people posting very vituperative variants of the following:

"OMG! Is there something wrong with you who don't like SB? Are you retarded [yup... this has actually been said]? Do you have [insert physical ailment here]? Obviously you are/do, because only an idiot could fail to adapt to SB! There is simply nothing to it! ADAPT!! Why are you whining EVERYONE STOP WHINING! If you don't like SB you are obviously [insert expletives, flames and negative concepts here]! Plus you are OBVIOUSLY trying to run the game on a Commodore 64! You're just stupid. PLUS YOUR HANDS DON'T WORK RIGHT! Learn to ADAPT!"

Many things just that mean, and worse, were flung at people who are guilty of the high crime of not wanting to be SBed in cave, or not wanting to be SBed while standing at the market bidding on an Alchemical Silver.

Now we have people having to deal with one little prompt. Many of this exact same group are now all, "OMG we have a prompt and I can't deal with it! Its making me lag! Its getting me killed! Oh no no no! Make it stop!"

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander: I say unto thee, Adapt.

We really don't need to give the moderators any particular reason to lock this thread.

No fighting. M'kay?
