Buff purchases are now limited to one per day. This is meant to (1) even the playing field between those with lots of trophy points and those without, (2) turn buffs more into what I wanted them to be - temporary enhancements, not (effectively for some) always-on enhancements, and (3) force you to make more choices (more buff variety is in store for the future).

I'm going to miss levelling HARD and FAST at the same time, but I have to admit, this is one brilliant balancing move that I did not see coming. It prevents people with massive star counts from abusing buffs, so anyone saying Ender is a greedy admin can go fuck a goat.

I have to agree. I am going to miss the hell out of building bots like a boss, sky rocketing through the levels until I reach my goal, but I am 100% behind this move.

The game needed balancing with the buff addition because it'd essentially altered the entire game focus.

Very well done Ender.

The slacker in me that likes things done quick is sad but the fair part of me is happy

You can buy multiples of a buff that you already have?

Did not know...

Expected outrage, but did not receive. Everything went better than expected. Cheers.

And no you didn't, you can't stack the same buff.

I think everyone was expecting something like this to happen, I know I was. Also, I confined my outrage because it wasn't going to get me anywhere.

So apparently I messed up the cron job for this and it was resetting every hour instead of every day. Thanks to Smeagol for pointing out. :P

At least he has integrity.

I know this is actually the wrong place, but i guess it would be a nice thing to have a timer at the trophy place saying when you can buy a buff, or a (countdown)timer saying when it will be reset?

You can purchase a new buff at 12AM server time (EST)

Yes, but i am guessing especially new players do not know this, so i think it is relevant information to be displayed there :)

But I don't think an actual timer is needed, just a simple statement like "buff purchases are limited to a daily basis, the counter resets at Midnight server time"

yeah you might be right. But i do think something should be put on the trophy page

If you try to buy a buff it should say: "You can only purchase another buff in x hours."
