An older topic of mine....potions and belts

It's been something i have intermittently brought up over the last year and a half or so but I still think that taking potions out of your deck and somehow coming up with a "belt system" (seperate bar for your potions perhaps) may make alchemy a more interesting endeavor. The original vision of my character was to have him be focused on alchemy but after seeing how potions were handled through the many releases, I scrapped that idea and have made him a magic focused character for most of the releases (another losing proposition but a whole different topic lol). Hopefully potion handling is looked into a bit.

 

I also would like to see a separate bar/belt for potions, with timers, accumulated toxicity levels, 1 potion per slot, manual replacement of empty slots.

 

Same here, i'm not happy with how consumables are handled; in fact i don't use them and not sure if they're actually popular. It seems to me they're intended to work as locked elements... And i have more interesting things to lock. Making them to work as something from outside the current combat deck via an item granting you 2-5 additional slots for consumables could make them relevant.

Been thinking about using healing potions this release instead of Life Magic... let's see how it goes

 

I think devs have usage values of consumables.

And I wonder if those numbers agree with me: I would never use consumables in battle, preferring any of them to any other option.

 

do they? how could they hid them! outrageous!

Pitchforks! Shovels! TorchesButNotThePrettyBlueOnes! grab one and join the mob!

Of course that's kidding... but it could be nice to hear about consumables; current state and future plans. And not a hangout answer but something a bit more elaborate... those get lost in the process lots of times.
