- Proposal
- Make the buff you receive from familiars remain even when taking a shuttle or moving from one planet to another.
- Justification
- The familiar buff disappears when taking shuttles or switching planets, necesitating summoning the familiar again and waiting to receive the buff, rather than operating like most buff items, in which the buff remains until its duration is up, or unless manually removed. For players who are engaged in Bounty Hunting, this is a notable problem, as tracking npcs and players necesitates continuous travel, and most of the time, it is forgoten to reaply it when arriving. When tracking players this issue becomes even more noticeable, as timming is usually important, stopping to wait to summon and then wait for the familiar to reaply it, costs time needed to reach a player before they can either log out or escape. Additionally calling in a familiar in front of a player with a bounty tends to be a dead giveaway. In pvp, moving from base to base, or from tower to tower, being shuttled into battlegrounds, all removes the familiar buff, needing for it to be reaplied.
- Motivation
- Although not really a big or critical issue, I believe it would be a great quality of life change, to have the familiar buff remain for its full duration like most buffs and not disappear when traveling.
I believe this change will improve quality of life for players. Both for pvp and pve. Most of the time when moving during instance groups or group pvp, I forget to apply the familiar buff, Im certain it happens to other people too. The issue is specially noticeable while bounty hunting, because it necesitates a lot of traveling and pulling out a familiar is often a big signal that you are about to engage in combat with someone. If the buff remains for its full duration, it would not only behave like most buffs in the game, but would really help a lot in several ways.
