Sorry mate, so you dont gel with them with their cooldowns ect and personally you prefer this system now (the event) where we have unlimited access to them to switch as we please?.
To note it wouldnt be strong all the time because currently we use them ALL the time, we reset them. the loyalty system is outdated, I cant imagine anyone being mad about it, want to add a fix, add some bank space, 5 preset slots and 2 more action bars as the replacement for no more auras??.
Vis wax has other uses currently, but maybe as a replacement to extending auras, allow it to reset a daily challenge at the cost of getting more and more expensive. Allow it to charge teleportation devices ect. It could easily be repurposed.
The skilling aura one is also a good idea, but I digress from my post, Ideally all auras allowed whenever, turn on and off as we please.
Aside from.
Wisdom,
Resourceful,
Green Fingers
and Penance (due to penance powder) which is extremely accessible.
Sorry I wasn't clear in my initial response - I personally feel like I don't quite gel with them as a system in so much as I don't like the incremental nature of unlocking the Auras as a whole, and I'd prefer them to be either Equipment or Skill rewards.
I don't have the design knowledge or experience to comment on this definitively but as someone who picked up the Greater Quarrymaster Aura while levelling mining, I'd rather that be a reward on the track, much like Critical Strike Chance is on the Necromancy skill progression, does that make sense?
That would obviously need to be balanced on a skill-by-skill basis, but hey, just an idea. Or perhaps something that can be activated at an altar or obelisk that "blesses" the player for an hour of skilling (functionally the same as an aura) but without the Loyalty Point prerequisite. Just a passive buff to your skilling to reward actively levelling the skill.
Or rather, maybe a singular item that holds all the auras, and you can rev it up for, say, an hour per aura per day? All in one pocket-slot item that you can use Vis Wax on to extend it, maybe?
In my opinion the loyalty point system feels a little jarring as a way to get auras that could be better served as rewards for skilling or completing quests which could encourage more skilling/questing or what have you. Something to think about in the future. Maybe a thing to tinker with in a Game Jam down the line perhaps.
Wisdom, Resourceful, Green Fingers and Penance are definitely exceptions there, agreed.
