Can we appeal for a 'fix' ?

Perhaps I'm the only one here who abhors this, but is there any way we
can appeal for the RvR Hastener NOT to overwrite existing/pulsing/
superior speed ?

Either that or simply restrict it to the person who touches the Hastener

I loathe it when fotm scout or somesuch touches it and we all run like
Rik Waller for 2-3 mins, some people not even seeing the speed buff
(if they have 3+ lines of buffs).

It can't be a hard fix to make (2nd option anyway)

And utterly pointless to AE speed buff overwrite...


Other options might be to move the Hasterner position (can be done by
GOA and doesn't require a code change) to a little out of the way

or reduce the radius of the AE Speed buff

Been posted in TL reports, Mythic replied "designed this way, no plans to change."

What a bunch of "external orrifice to the female genital canal"'s they are...

Perhaps GOA could move the Hasteners in CS/Beno to be the other side of
the door ?

Or perhaps a little further away ?

it was changed because if ye were running around on hastener speed and some gimp with a croc tear ring runs past you'd get superspeed for 2s then have nowt.

Or someone with croc tear ring would hang around by the hasteners AFK or whatever and you couldn't get it.

I remember that, you'd get some "FOTM" mincer going AFK right next to the hastener, with croc ring on and speed active, you couldnt do anything about it and you'd have to run like "Rik Waller" for a hell of a lot longer than it takes to hold shift and right click the hastener buff.

:D

I think the idea is a good one, I cant see a problem with it, and as you can shift + right click the buff to get rid of it, whats the problem?

PS. if you cant see the buff, surely its a fault of the buffs not displaying, not the solo'er who needs speed?

Also cant you use the 'group' window to shift+right click the buff? if not would that be a possible fix?

How about a fix where it overwrites the speed for the person who touches him

i.e. not AE, but single target - fixes both problems ?
