Spreading the Passive Infusion Regen

[Controll]

Hey!

Currently characters gain ~300 infusion per hour passively, and on top of that some Kindling Bonus and Sanctuary Bonus depending on specific conditions. This is a great system, but I think it could be nice if the passive gain was spread a bit more - for example instead of gaining once per hour the passive gains could proc up to 4 times in a hour, once per 15 minutes. The actual amount of passive infusion per hour should remain the same. So instead of gaining 300 infusion by one tick in a hour at a set time it would be four ticks in a hour, each giving 75 infusion, totaling to the same amount.

The reasoning is that it would encourage players to log in even just for a measly 15 minutes and would also encourage players to spend time in Sanctuary/RP Hub areas no matter what the clock is at that specific time.

As a forager, I benefit from having to visit the city only once per hour if I want to grab that sweet sanctuary bonus. I would still be willing to sacrifice it in exchange for encouraging people to spend more time in RP hubs. Interaction and getting stories going together is likely the thing that will keep us going in the long haul.

Spreading the area of the sanctuary bonus might be worth considering as well. Could faction settlements qualify? I know at least two towns would like to draw people away from FP. On the flip side, it could encourage people to hide away in their walled faction areas, too.

Won't solve the issue of people AFKing in their hideyholes in the Fort, but it will encourage other people to RP and log in more, even if they had a shorter time to play. Wouldn't recommend making faction areas a Sanctuary, though.

Too many times I've ran out of Prae to see the bonus ping, and I miss my sanctuary bonus! Despite having spent 59 minutes in Fort Prae.

Agreed!
