AQ Timeout Health Lost

Is it really necessary to take away health just because you timed out in a fight its already hard enough to get potions i have to will power heal to get health back only to get taken back down just a silly mechanic

It’s game manipulation prevention. If the mechanic didn’t exist, what is there to stop players from purposefully timing out because they weren’t watching and their opponent got to 3 bars of power? Or if you get stuck in the corner and don’t want to die so you just pause and timeout to save yourself? If you can’t beat the opponent, then you technically lost the fight and receive consequences accordingly, yet less severe than a KO.

Heals and revives in AQ absolutely need to be revamped, but taking this mechanic out shouldn’t be a part of that process.

@Furrymoosen But making you lose health in all situations is just taking the easy way out they choose to screw everybody over instead making an enjoyable game experience and i dont see the problem with purposely timing out its strategy somethings are really just out of the hands of the player why should we be punished over a descion were forced to make sometimes you are forced to make descions in fights and there are many reasons for this either there are input issues or the a.i acting uncharactistic or maybe your just human and you messed up why should 1 tiny little blip be enough to completely screw you over for the rest of the quest why is everything in this game built around having to spend an ungodly amount of something i get that they need to make money but this is just extortion

What would be out of the hands of the player that would require you to use timeout as a strategy?

then you would never die cause you can keep timing out when you are dying though they can make it a 10 minute fight like incursions given that it is player vs player or alliance vs alliance so time wont really matter

If you play poorly then you should have to live with the results, it’s on you. I get there are hiccups with the AI sometimes, but not as often as people blame it. And even if the AI is a bit funky, it is possible sometimes to adjust your play to it. There should not be an easy and free way to skirt around a poor performance. As I said before, AQ revives and health potions absolutely need a revamp, but they are already there and available for when they are needed. If you need them too much then you need to drop maps. And if you’re timing out, yes maybe the AI is passive, but in reality you probably shouldn’t be taking that fight.

@Furrymoosen the thing is i dont play poorly i might press a button late every once in a while but 90% of the times i get hit has something to do with either dropped inputs or uncooporative a.i it happens everyday and almost every other fight yeah i can sometimes adjust to the a.i but not always there are times where they just wont throw their sp's or throw silly heavy attacks then i get pushed against the wall and i have to either dex against the wall or throw a sp and push them over a certain threshold sometimes they even get stupid lunge on their heavys and it hits you cross map

I can get through an entire map without needing potions, can i do it all the time? Absolutely not for the reasons listed above there are potions but a limited amount you get in a week and they cost glory which means that i cant get them because i have more important things to buy with very little glory i get, and before you say its your fault for not buying the potions i have to make a decision and my best option is to get the mats that hard to come by that will help me level and rank champs vs getting potions i may or may not need and rank no champs you would do the exact same thing in my situation

If your reason for not taking a fight is the a.i might be passive then no one should take any fights at all cause the a.i might be passive
Obviously i took the fight because i knew i could finish the fight and i would get willpower it was a win win if i dont take the fight then who will there isnt always gonna be someone to taxi you to boss the best decison here was to take the fight and get willpower to actually be helpful in the rest of the quest
