Suggestion: relook at throwing pots

So we just need to deal with it for some leetist mentality, you should be the end all athority of pvp? Say what you want but I'm telling you people will leave this server of shit like this. And I'm not saying do this or the game will end but your going to loose some player base to to unbalance

I could be hiding in an armored car in UO and still take full damage from a explosion pot. To me that's just a bit... not right.

I'm just saying that this server has been up for nearly 3 years with more or less the same ruleset - so why do you think your idea is so great? And do you really think that you're the first one to cry about explopots?
This is my exact point I'm not saying it needs to hit like fireball I'm saying we need balance

Magic spells you can resist plus they are well... magic... an explosion potion is something you throw "physically". Besides the timer there are no factors of hitting or missing or damage delt.
It's been up for 3 years and the population is growing people not here before are realizing constantly something is not right here. And I am far from crying I am debating the fact, that'll is soooo many people before me (and I am quite sure after me) have reservations about pots maybe... just maybe.... there is something to it after all?

splash damage ? line of sight ? timing? You make it out as if its super easy (its just easy) to actually hit a pot.
Okay mr. pvpgod. Explain to me how you'd kill somebody if there were no explo pots?
(answer: you wouldnt kill anyone)

Long ago I posted this. It's how it functions in Ultima.

Very interesting. I don't claim to have the answers but I can bring up questions. Another complaint for achlemy is the skill needed (actually 1- 100 skill not player)
Magery: magery, evaluation int, meditation = 300 skill to do average damage
Archery: archery, tactics, anatomy (probably want some kind of 1 handed weapon skill or wrestling so when you disarm to heal your not installed killed) = 300-400 skill to do mediocre damage
Dexer: weapon skill, tactics, anatomy, lj if axer = 300-400 skill to do decent damage
Now alchemy : that's it 100 skill points to do great unlimited (as much as you can carry) damage

-+1 ....but i like dying when no one is on my screen, on the run......
Or like magery and archery with movement, you can not move while the countdown timer is running... if you want to throw early so you can move then fine your target has a chance to dodge the pot if you want to wait to the last second and not miss fine you give your target a chance to run away
3rd idea for achery....
Add a new ammo type. Bows use arrows, heavies and xbows use bolts. Had a 3rd ammo and bow type use the graphic from Jukka or repeating crossbow ... these bows fire on the move with a lowered chance to hit (not an activated button) make um 1 handed so pots/shields can be used.

I know you say you have played an alchy, but this comment makes me think otherwise...
alchemy is the ONLY way to kill a runner. and it still isn't enough to take out a gheal chugger who also uses bandages. if you nerf alchemy, then what?
