It is if you're Grimscar and you can't find any underage girls to party with.
It doesn't seem to matter anyway, because apparently nobody is killing anyone these days and hand healing is therefor useless!
Is a planned poker tournament really the most interesting thing going on?
As a moral, I'm still quite content with the healing available to me. There are still plenty of options. The near-freebie vial/phial were imbalanced anyway. Besides, Jaron's comment about auctions is quite valid: it's really no big deal that the lazy-man's healing has become unique. Now you just have to work a little for your healing, or pick it up off auction.
It's like trying to buy oil from a crashed tanker Mirnac, most of it has already spilled into the sea.
Well Shabba I've always been more into advocating balance between moral/immoral than ER/FR. My main thoughts on this matter were related to the reasons for the change. For phial and vial to be made unique while flasks/botas stay the same, it seems like they're going for a mudwide nerfing on non-filling healing. But if other such healings aren't changed at the same time, the whole change seems pointless. If it was just the fact vials/phials are overused in comparison, making them semi would balance a lot better with the bloodbrew alternatives than making them unique.
OMG it was like 100 comments a minute on the main comm when this news came out, and now we only reached 52 comments in a coupel of days. Where is the outrage and whining i heard constantly on the world comm? Im bored out my mind on work, entertain me.
Thanks, Jaron. I was waiting for someone to point that out. Seriously, who makes FR vs ER comparisons these days. Besides, evil FRs can easily get into MM and quest in there anyways. I don't know about blood brew, but other quests, sure.
I don't get it. Why does it matter if ERs have an advantage over this or FRs have an advantage over that? We are no longer in the BP era and nothing is black & white anymore. We have united auction systems and mercenaries on both sides to ensure that everyone can get all kinds of equipment, and even if they don't, it is unlikely that either side will work in unison to attack the other discriminantly.
Now actually, ERs have advantage in healing... we'll see if they know how to use it.
ERs have no advantage over FRs when it comes to available healing. They never have, either.
Oh yeah, let's push for a change that requires a completely new, completely unthematic/unrelated quest, rather than just a couple of lines of code.
And because ERs can't quest phials or vials as easily as FRs. Oh, wait...
But hey, let's keep comments intelligent.
It's funny how none of you jumped to change phial so it has a death trap, three EP suckers and three tough fights. But hey, let's keep it fair.
If those other brews fill you up, it's moot. If they don't fill you up, it's bullshit they haven't been changed.
Well that was a fun bug to abuse!
Not anymore, but I guess a phial of blood brew isn't 'unique', which is pretty much bullshit because ERs now have an unfair advantage of FRs, not saying that I wouldn't mind it but it's dumb to make vov and dream phial unique and not make orcish brew and blood brew unique also.
He's not hardbanned
... Why would Jakar be hardbanned? He's jesus
Every mistake is the last mistake.
Making Osse pol is the last mistake on this mud...
Gotta love the hard bans.

Wtf, I just got hardbanned and I have no idea why? Can someone check if I'm nuked?
I won't and they didn't, Nildnab... or should i say... Shitface! :P
Cool change, i never really used hand healings, but god they were annoying when killing people. Its not like noone can heal now, bota and flask are still the shit.
PABLO!!!!!!!!! geez, log on for a minute at least :(
i r missing my friends.. wish i had free time :(
Yeah im not sure this is such a bad change that so many complains about. We still got plenty of suplies of flasks and other vials/healing, only diffrence is you cannot heal 80hp instantly with one sip. The only diffrence is now that those players that love to start shit and then just uber heal them out of it will have a harder time. Plus what i like is there is alot of guild players that don't go out and do shit themselves but instead wait until there guild have gotten enough healing, then they leave and feel all cool.
Lobo, you ever shut the fuck up.. did herkies kill your mom and rape your sister only to than cum in your mouth?
This allows people to actually be pkilled, gala vials were nerfed making them harder to acquire and now hand healing nerfed. Lets start seeing pkill logs again!
This log page is so so much better with Miroth lurking it again :))
Uhm, this was strange to say the least. Oh well, i hardly ever use them anyways.
nah we are like cocroaches. you'll never get rid of us
Lobo, they could have nerfed healings and made deaths count and trust me, a majority of the herkies would have left the mud without the nukes.
leets not and say we did. work? i hope whoever hired your ass can understand you on a regular basis.
it's all a plot to make herkies leave: first nuke 'em, now ubernerf hand healings.
I love this change.
AND IT FILLS YOU UP. Jesus.
Blood brew was used once for every 22 Roderick phials, I heard. It's also a pain in the ass to quest, not a freebie like the other was, not as good as Roderick's phial and FRs can probably break in and do the quest too.
The difficulty of the quest and the amount of them used were the reasons Osse gave for not making it unique.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, yup, and since it's RIGHT next to our guildhall it'll be certainly abused and we aren't a big guild at all, we have activity requirments and a 5 unit armoury. We only have 500k in our vault. MORALS R TEH NOOBz
Funny thing about the orcish brew... an idea report to create a way for morals to enter the area without killing the dwarf was returned with the message:
'This quest was coded towards all types of players of any alignment,
including ERs. It's just not worth messing with it to give one small
group of morals an alternative way of entering, which might lead
to possible balance/abuse issues, etcetc...'
So there you go, Girrick. Morals are a small group and should just deal with it.
One note, the main difference between VOV and Phial and other forms of healing (not sure about the blood brew) is that they barely filled a person up at all. A majority of the remaining healing in the game that hasn't been touched fills up at least reasonably compared to the healing you are getting from it.

no, only vov and phial are unique...
If only vov and phial are unique, then ERs would have an unfair unadvantage over FRs with them being able to get phial of blood brew from MM and orcish brew from Redhorn, that would be pretty much BS then :p
damn you shabba... well that was old news anyways.

Who the fuck cares? Where my funny log exposing Scorpion (who got a secret namechange to Richard)?!
Amen.
Now they just need to fix death damages, and PK means something again.
It's a great change. There is still hand healing available to everyone, but it is balanced because its actually hard to get. This is a perfect corollary to the backstab nerf + implementation of lethal precision.
It's one at a time, not one per boot.
what's up with 'Unique' being capitalized?
Bad idea imo. Will make the more powerful players/guilds even more powerful...and in control of yet another unique item in the game.
It will also put alot of quests/areas out of bounds for alot of players.
uh, unique, people? Or just semi-unique? Having ONE vov/dream potion load per boot is kind of ridiculous, but having it semi-unique isn't such a bad change. There definitely is too much hand healing available.
no, only vov and phial are unique...
WTF, where is the Baitlia log?!
Hah, well I wonder if it encompasses the phial of blood brew from MM and that one insta heal thing from redhorn.
My idea:)

Damn right we do.
