    Default Level 1 drugs increase duration?

    I would like to propose increasing level 1 drug time to 60 mins per drug. (by this i mean stuff like serumderibat etc)

    Currently they are not used at all as far as I know. However if we had the ability to take a higher level drug over the lower one to cancel the effect (in the same way that heals work) then that would help stop abuse of taking loads of lower level drugs and no higher ones.

    Drugs would need to be reclassified as level 1 2 and 3 I guess but it is fairly easy to see which levels each ones go into. You dont need a pharmacology degree to see what I mean at least.

    I think this would open up drug dealing (Protopharma and Black Dragon?) as a new trade as anyone who recycles could suddenly become a dealer.

    Thoughts? Opinions?

    great idea. I cant see an option for abuse either. Make them a reasonable tech level representative of what they can do (50 for level 1 for example makes it another worthwhile bonus to spec recycle) and go from there. With a 30 min or 60 min duration its only gonna help people get levelled and bring an otherwise useless item in to the game and be more useful.

    How about we just remove drugs altogether instead?

    To have a fair fight you need to ensure that you are equally drugged, its just stupid.

    This thread isnt really about pvp though, its more about the drugs used in pve. The level 1 stuff. With a one hour duration the flash problems you are talking about wouldnt really happen so much.


    Personally I would like to see durations increased on all drugs but thats just me. If they are in game we should use them as much as we can. Protopharma depends on it!

    drugs are a funny but weird part of NC. i'd rather have them weakened but strengthened. but thats up to the Great Balancing Project, right?

    That he'd rather have them being weaker, than he'd like them to be better (longer duration = better).
    Or at least thats how I read it.

    Give us an example because that post made zero sense. How do you weaken a drug that gives +1 dex?
