The Selfless Potion is always gone… I always have to reactivate it
It vanishes:
1 – by changing map
2 – by joining wvw
3 – by using Plague (Necro)
4 – by using Guild Banner Potion
5 – by using Quaggan Potions

3-5 makes Sense that this things can’t have a halo, but after changing back it should be there aggain.
1-2 doesn’t make any sense…

Please make it permanent(not affected by things like 1-5) and let it last for 24h (deactivation by clicking aggain), then its worth the gold and time.

Numbers 1 and 2 are the same thing; a map change.

Buffs are lost upon map change, therefore it does makes sense that it occurs.

Yes. And we know that this is perfectly possible, because there are plenty of buffs that do not disappear in the same way – gem store booster effects and the campaign support buttons, for example. And since you can turn the effects off manually whenever you want by activating the potion again, how about a duration longer than 1 hour per activation?

I know, buffs like bloodlust or applied fortitude are lost by mapchange, because you could create an unfair advantage, but not with this Item.
Bufffood or boosters are not affected by it.

And nothing else is lost by using plague

As far as I know, every “tonic” kind of effect gets removed when you map change (my guess is it reloads the base character form)

I guess this is the same problem that you describe for quaggan or guild banner tonics. Most likely the selfless and thoughtless potions’ effects fall under transformation-effects.
That would mean any other form of transmutation will cancel them as well, like an elementalist’s Tornado or a necromancer’s Lich Form. Even Tome of Wrath or Tome of Courageof a guardian might end the effect, because it counts as a transformation as well in some cases.
And those are just a few examples. There are multiple other transformation effects among the various professions elites and from various other sources ingame.
Have you tried with any of those other options? I believe the Lich Form shoould be easy enough to try for you if you noticed it with plague.

If you happen to stumble across any typos,
you may keep them to rear new and interesting variants in your basement.

  • In my opinion this potion is a 50/50 Fail/Win
    They got the Model, They got the Effect ( yellish sparks )
    But not the right color and not the right Utilisation

I can Bulletpoint explain my opinion by :
- What else is translucent in Real life.Water.(Common)
So Basicly its a circle tube filled by water with yellow sparks.
I do understand the translucent concept
– But you clearly dont understood that acquiring this potion for angelic look a like Should be use for map exploration or Farming the same zone for 1h. (Champ train)

  • For a Simple basis : more than 50% of Active Players who logs every hours will do atleast:
    -1 Dungeon Path during there active time Or going to wvw
    ( Fractal counts for a dungeon too) Or even zone out for materials gathering.
  • Why last 1 hour for farming the same place for 1 hour ?

-In my opinion the 1 hour was a great idea for me. to the expecting fact that the boon last well and everywhere you could handle more your gaming time like
‘’ 1 more hour than ill go to bed ill use the buff when its out i’m out ’’<-Expectation

  • We complain about some things that we believe could be improved,
    we have for the majority attempted to participate in the forum and GW2 in general,
    by reporting concerns or pleasant things that we saw in game

-I had a dream my mini-pet was following me all my connected game time and my selfless potion lasted with dungeon pathing and zoning.

- For players is the Angel/demon Potion a good thing for Champ Trains ? – Yes, atleast it last..
