Hmmm... I already try to do my crits shortly after they go live. I can't say I'm overly excited about this, but at least it seems some people are.

**Kohlo**

Cool thingy!

I hate to rain on the parade but in my opinion this is a pointless addition, i appreciate the work gone into this and thanks for new content but i don't see the point and the time crating this could have been spent on something much more important.

I disagree. Crits are a very important element of MxO.

I welcome this, it's incentive to actually follow the story, which a lot of folks (myself included) have pretty much brushed aside over the past couple of years.

It's only due to running archive missions that I've been able to catch up properly, and I can't believe how much of the story I've missed!

I can't see it taking a lot of Dev time to be honest, be it in pill or hypo form, they have the animations already all they'd have to do is decide on a colour for the pill/hypo dictating it's icon colour then link the animation and 20% IS regen attribute to it upon activation. A few tests and it's done. It's probably a tad more complex then that but the time spent on it is probably negligible compared to any important stuff they're working on.

I would rather wait a little longer for big stuff and have lots of smaller addition in the meantime than have something released a little earlier and having nothing new in the meantime.

It's already ingame just a in a different format. Not the best update.

**letsrock**

IS booster pill seems like a neat idea but as someone already said, you loose the buff on death? well if thats the case then if I die in mindless-pvp I have to wait a week to get another pill.. woo hoo. good times

**Phluff**

I think it's pretty kewl... not great, but nice, anyone would be happy to have a way to get more IS... and a GOOD incentive to keep up on your crits, which everyone should be doing. I also am curious to phind out if they are tradable or not.

**Roukan**

This is a fantastic idea. It allows a simple IS regen enhancement for if you decide to go missioning, or simply a one round pvp. A distinct advantage! Slightly.

The effect is also subtle and eye catching, though more so if it was blue. I think you people should appreciate what you get. It's something, and it's a nice something.

Well sorry but i just think its a waste of time that could have been spent on something else.

no matter what anyone does you will never please 100% of people.

either you want to do the crits or you don't a pill that i can use once wouldn't personally make me want to go out of my way to do them.

can you sell these pills?

**ZaneZavin**

MattRobson, there is a lot of stuff in the patch. Seriously, no reason to complain.

I am going to wait till I see the Patch Notes next week but so far things are looking good for Update 60. Datamine may actually become a worth while construct on its own standing.

And I think the devs have knocked up enough pills for the creation of this to be a very quick creation time, and items have been given out at the end of missions before, just now Rarebit will have to add the pill as a reward to each crit and make sure he removes that reward when it is archived. I dont think a ground breaking amount of time has been spent on these pills.

Though some buffs need to change, the Quicksilver IS buff consumeable or this pill as one of them is going to be rendered useless and the last thing MxO is more useless content. (Not that the Quicksilver consumeable was widely used before now. Actually, looking at the Data Mine rewards aside from the Quicksilver Gloves and Overdrive Bandana, are pretty much unused, PSBs were used but now it is hard to find them as they can be destroyed and no one in their right mind would code one. But this is for another thread.)
