Thread: Buffing questions
Hi, I've done a search but couldn't find the answer. Even so, I apologise if it's already been asked. 2 Questions:
1) Can you buff yourself? If not, are there plans to get this implemented?
2) Do buffs show up as a progression over time (ie. added to your mind trickle fashion)while flourishing or do they show up in one go at the endwhen you stop dancing?
1) at this time we cannot buff ourselves. Ravenmist has stated in other posts she has brought this up to the devs
2) buffs are applied when the customer /stopwatch the dancer giving the buff.
Thanks for your answers.
I was asking these because I was considering becoming a Dancer for the buffs. Unfortuneately, due to both those answers I think Ihave decided against it. I think you should be able to buff yourself just like a doctorcan (and the implementation of it should have been a given) and it seems to me to make more sense 'playability' wiseto have the buffs added as they are generated, otherwise how do you know they are working and to what degree?
That second part that you mention, about no indication that the buff is working *is* a little bit of a problem. Every time I buff someone, it feels like I am doing a magic trick that I dont have a lot of practice with. When they /stopwatch, I hold my breath for a second...will their mind pool double, or did I just make them sit and watch for 8 minutes for nothing?
On occasion, at the end of the 8 or so minutes, the patron realizes they were watching the wrong person, or something like that, and that is always a huge bummer.
