I didn't see in the patch notes that the 1000000 bizillion vit items I had in WH would become all but useless. A birthday cake recovers like 1/8 (if even that) of vitality. Oversight, bug, working as intended?
Good question. There was a thread someone started yesterday claiming the purchased vit potions only filled it 1/8th as well (as opposed to the advertised "full"). I bookmarked it, and now that thread is gone & the bookmark forwards to the destiny pack FAQ, which says nothing about that topic...
Any chance we could get some clarity on this issue? Do the purchased vit pots only partially fill the vit bar?
Im going to bump this thread and say that i didnt even fill 10% of my vit bar. If it is working as intended we should get some compensation as the site clearly states something else
There shouldn't be a chance they answer us. This NEEDS an answer. A lot of what we've been getting with the update isn't what was told to us prior. The is a slap in the face especially for those who purchased vitality items since the launch.

The link that unknowndancer posted seems to say that they changed vit items to only fill 1/7 of the bar per use. So yea this is a pretty huge nerf. XP at 86+ has been pretty terrible everywhere I've tried (and that is with the runes on too). Part of this is probably due to the fact that we're still trying to find the best areas and methods, but it doesn't help that I can't really replenish my vit. In the meantime, I'd recommend people to just use the 30 min vit pots in the meantime. At least those will give you 2 1/2 hours more vit per week. I also have not tried the PC points xp item since update, if it still works then an hour of that might be helpful too.

Its fine if they nerfed the vit items (even tho 1/7 is practically nothing), what annoys me is the fact that it has been more than 24h since we brought this up and no one from ncwest has commented on this. At least tell us if its a bug or if you messed up the description on the item.
Or that youre looking into it.....

Ahaha owned by NCscam again :) Remember your own words? - "Level 99, here I come!" ;)
Well, in fact, this "vitaly nerf" is working as intended (of course), as it's been reported from Ru.off since the launch.
However, Ru.off players did enjoy the two months of increased drop rates on full items, the option to exploit the "overbuff bug" and a few other things that helped some of them reach lvl 99 in no time and get geared up.
NA players, on the opposite, got the latest GoD built from Korea in which the drop rates have been drastically decreased, certain exploitable bugs fixed, yet vitality remained the same... barely existent, that is. So, gl purchasing Vit items from NCstore. :)

Yep, I did get owned lol. I'll still make it to 99, but the grind might make my eyes bleed. What I would say to ncsoft is that their sales for those packs are going to become non-existent if this isn't adjusted. Also, all these bugs and "surprise" features are reasons why we should have had a PTS.
The nerf to vitality items is really quite awful. Only birthday potions, maintenance pots, and PC vit buffs are really worth anything.
+1 on the "Vitality Replenishing Beverage" having an incorrect description.
And yes, I will not be purchasing nearly as many packs as I had initially planned now that I know how useless vitality items are.
Edit: **** you, autocorrect.
Can the dev team give us an update if they play to fix this? even if it is wednedsday implimented, it would be useful to know intentions.
(just for the record, its better to inform people of your intentions instead of making them QQ in forums. all be it some people you wont be able to please and they will cry anyway. BUT the knowledge of alteration and a better preperation for the future will help the community immensely.)
thanks to ncsoft for a great game and im greatful for all your hard work.
On the patch notes NO WHERE does it mention the change of effect of Birthday buff cakes and such, just that there would be a limit on how many you could use each week.. WTF I had, what could probably be called a ****-load of vit pops, b-day cakes, vit maint potions 10/30 and so on... If what you said is true about them changing the way they work **** THAT.
Ye, it's great that i saved my vit items for GoD to xp my main.
Could have used them better to xp my subs...
/same QQ, hoping they at least remove the max 5 vit items per week. Hmm might just start deleting them at this rate as our wh seems to have shrunk again...
But the using the full vitality potion only to get half of one bubble was a bit depressing.

I have to agree and I'm only playing L2 for the first time since Interlude as a brand new character. I ran out of Vit early into the launch of Shilen at level 64, I decided to purchase some Vit maintaining potions from the NCstore, can use 5 a week and they are $1 each...
Like you said in a past post that is 2.5 hours extra per week, 2.5 hours is nothing in L2 time...I would have expected some items for like $1-2 that replenish vit by 50 or 100% (maybe limit use to 1 per week or something). Do they really expect people to be spending $20/month on L2 just for 10 extra hours of Vit? I know I won't be purchasing anything else from the NCsoft store unless there are some better options. And I can only see this problem compounding and getting worse the higher level you reach.

This. Vote with your wallet. The cash shop is a joke right now, and not buying is the only way anything's going to get changed.
Even with the changes and nerfs to mobs they practically made it required to have menti+vit+exp rune to get through the 80s at a decent pace.
God help you when you lose mentee buff, and your 5 pots a week limit is up.
I can rig it a a bit. I've got a ton of alts with vita pops. I can my vit by Saturday, fill on on sunday, then burn it down by reset. Unfortunately thats only going last a month or so...
I'm actually amazed at support ncsoft West is providing at the moment both in game and through website. I've been playing since beta for very long time and now with GoD I started playing again.
Lots of people make very reasonable claim regarding destiny pack cost. And I'm sure that if we properly communicate this issue they will fix it up.
Personaly I believe if that Vit Pot restored vitality completely, that would be a price many would be willing to pay up to several times per month.
But as it is right now 3 x 1/7th of vitality for $50 is just not worth the hustle of going through the purchase let alone overpriced cost.
But anyway, keep it clean and I'm sure it'll turn out alright.
