Guild Wars 2

so we heard to today that the kodan tonic will have a 5-second cd in wvw will this be brought ove to pve. i was helping leading triple trouble last night and someone sat there spaming the tonic. i had to turn my camera away from them and got really bad eye pain. either the effect needs to be less when spamed or have a cd on when it can be spammed next. when someone does this it stops me playing the game.

“We are aware of the Kodan tonic ‘spam’ and the use of tonics in WvW to trigger weapon-swap effects. I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that in the next update the Endless Kodan Tonic will have a 5 second cool down and will not be useable while in combat. We also plan to make it so you can’t use any tonics in combat going forward, but that will be coming in a later update since doing this work to all tonics in the game is going to take more time to implement and test.”

The cool down doesn’t say specific for WvW, so it’s kind of hard to say. Might be both.

If they remove the combat option in PvE then that ruins the whole fun of using that tonic.

Edit: it’s the turning into a Kodan while in combat that’s going to be stopped, not the ability to be a Kodan and then go into combat.

Gee, I thought it was a Combat Tonic like the Watchknight one. Phooey. I want my Karma back.

I took the statement to mean that you can’t reapply the tonic while you’re in combat. I could be wrong, though.

No, you are right. There are more Dev statements in the thread that quote was taken from. I found it in the Dev Tracker:

To clarify you won’t be able to activate them while in combat.

So if you are transformed then enter combat you will not transform back to your regular model. So you can still fight as a kodan if you activate it before the fight.

Oh cool. Thanks for the clarification.
