Beta is the best time to make any changes to this problematic item. Once the game goes live, and particularly once Hardcore goes live in a few months, it will be too late, and the backlash too severe to change it.

options:

-Nerf the flask

-increase the cost dramatically (add an item that has a chance to drop from the final boss of every level 60 dungeon, and add that to the recipe for this flask, and maybe some Ghost Mushrooms too)

-Change the “teleport out of dungeon” mechanic post 50, and in raids, so that the timer stops while under effects of this flask.

-keep flask exactly the same, but add a debuff to the player similar to Rez sickness for X hours once flask of petri is used. I think a 4 hour res sick debuff would be fair. It also needs a weakened soul stuff debuff so they can’t be chained together.

are there any other options we can consider?

Good Day All,

I have a small change idea for classic hardcore servers to help the leveling experience for the dwindling HC player base as everyone is playing Forever Beta.

I think its finally time to allow 60s to do dungeons with ppl lower than 60. While I support the original concept to prevent boosting, there simply isn't enough player base left dispersed across all lvls to run all content. That's why i think you allow 60s to carry lowbies now HOWEVER, you make it so that if a 60 runs a lowbie dungeon they get the 24hr lockout too so they cant keep boosting. That way if ur soloing for farming you still can w/o lockout but if you decide to help carry your few remaining lvl'n guildies/friends you get locked & lose the farm option for the day. This way they can't be spammed for xp & it gives lowbies a chance to get their quests completed for dungeons that are no longer being touched due to lack of player base.
