Potions

Today, we are introducing potions! We have really looked forward to this update. Potions are able to alter the abilities or appearance of the player who drinks it. The potions can be used from the menu in the buttom of the screen when you are in a world.

For now, we have added 3 potions that changes your color on the minimap, and the color of your god-aura.

The duration varies from 15-45 min, and works in the world you are currently in, but also all worlds you enter within the duration.

The potions can be bought in the shop uner “potions”. You can only buy 10 of each.

The plan is to indtruduce new potions in the weekly updates, just like with everything else. The content and effect of the potion will vary. Sometimes potions will affect the appearance, making you look cooler or funnier, and sometimes theycan make you jump higher, alter the gravity or run faster.

Creators of worlds will be able to turn potions off though.

Here is an ingame screenshot:

But as a wrote last week, this is a part of a larger update. So stay tuned! (in  couple of weeks).

If you are a Beta user, please report all bugs concerning potions to me at: julian@everybodyedits.com

See you in the worlds!

UPDATE:

I have just updated a new version, fixing some bugs (mostly potion related):

  • People wa experiencing Synchronization Errors when using boost arrows.
  • The Edit-tutorial was missing the editbar
  • After using a potion and entering another world, the players already in that world could not see the colored aura.
  • You could no longer drag blocks to favorites bar

Also, I have added a counter for potions in the shop (which also shows the maximum allowed).

  4. If it lasts even after I leave the map and join another map, then all our efforts for making a good map will be in vain. Exploits will be everywhere and impossible to prevent.
    Please don’t make the potions last outside of maps that you collected them in…

    1. Why are aura potions time limited? They should be permanent until you use another one. It doesn’t even make sense that some last longer than others. So if you want a blue aura, you have to constantly chug potions every 15 minutes? But red only every 45 minutes? Why!?

    2. Unless you allow level owners to disable them, ability potions are going to be the death of this game. Letting people jump higher or run faster will ruin mini game levels. You’re basically giving people items that will let them cheat, which makes the “winners” list in hard levels useless. I will kick anyone out of my level I catch using an ability potion, and I will also make traps to catch people who jump too high.

    3. The Halloween items are pretty cool.

    You said that creators of levels can disable potions. How can you do that? Perhaps stick it in Modify Level?

    Quick question about one of the future updates. When the physics potions are released and as you said owners can toggle potion use,will it cut off all potions in the room? Just a thought that came to me. I don’t think it would make any difference,but just a thought. By the way,great update! ;D

    Okay, first, I like the idea that more expensive = longer lasting. I think the concept of potions is okay — as a novelty. Consumable items just don’t seem to fit with EE. Also, potions that edit the physics of a player (that sounds bad, but like making them faster or alter gravity) is a really bad idea for me, because it would ruin levels and also create elitism — imagine a level with ‘teal potion to code’ or something, and they’d have a simple way so anyone who has spent god-awful amounts of gems/money would be considered ‘better’ than anyone who would prefer to save their currency on something else.
    By the way, can the special smiley minimap colors (like the blue (which is way too close to the potion blue in my opinion — and I have side by side screen caps) with the police and black with robber and ninja) override the potions? After all, there’s a reason people use those.
    Also, can we please have a short break between updates or at least lower costing updates? Since you changed it from Thursday to Wednesday, I’ve been having trouble getting everything before the next update, and at this rate, it’ll all pile up fast. I also know a ton of people whose shops are packed to the brim with stuff they’ve yet to get.
    I also just realised that there’s bricks in this update, but only after I spent gems on a blue potion and energy on the monster smiley.
    Can we have some spooky backgrounds or something? Perhaps some bloodied tiles or something.

    Thanks for being a great guy in general and for the steady (albeit overwhelming) stream of updates.

    This is very exploitable, but cool. Read wutwutwut’s comment above. Finally, I new beta feature. T’anks, MrShoe.

  25. Thanks for the potions, can’t wait to see more effects. Although, the Monster pack is terrible. Although, I’m glad you’re moving away from all grey blocks/backgrounds. Also, has Chris died or something…?

  27. The ability potions won’t work because if you turn them on it breaks the map unless you base the map around them, but that would mean you must use it to even play the map. I think for ability potions you should make potion blocks which give you the potion affect. Not all potions should have a block though. Another idea for a potion is to make one that increases the chance of getting magic.

  28. i like these,buy i agree
    1.they would let you cheat
    2. some ppl have all taht energy(ik ben is planning to remove it)so they can get lotssa potions,and makes game unfair
    3.i think potions should be BLOCK,so owners can choose when to let ppl use potions
    otherwise i have no complaints or bug reports,other than,for some reason,my arua kept flashing white->red->blue->yellow->white when i placed a cake,had 1 of each potion,and had a red in effect,WUT,it was pretty cool,but when i went over to my other tab taht had me in my world a 2nd time,i could only see the red aura,while in the other i could see the flashing WUT????
    anyway nice update

  30. How do you turn potions off?

    Also, I think it would be cool, if you could sometimes find potions with magic coins, kind-of like how you can find the wizard, and witch smileys.

  32. I LOVE THIS UPDATE
    i do have a couple things i want to point out
    -how do we disable potions O.o
    -when we disable potions and we do this thing, there should be a pop up what potions should be aloud and not
    -we should have a potion mixer (costs about 1000 energy to mix 2 potions you have to make a random outcome as in
    -they may last longer
    -they will have and extra effect to them
    -they will get a new effect and it will be all random
    -the potion mixer will take about 6 hours
    but this is an epic update, hoping for a ton of potions since you made a tab for them 😀

  33. MRSHOE, I have a few questions about the potions.

    First, did you mean we could only have 10 of each potion at one time before being able to buy more?
    Second, if I entered a world, used a blue potion, left the world, waited in the lobby for 15 minutes and joined another world, would I still be under the effects of the potion?
    Third, what would happen if instead of leaving the world, I’d closed the game?
    Finally, does each potion change the colour of your god mode aura to the colour of the potion? Just wanted some clarification.

    Also, I have three suggestions.

    Scroll bar for edit menu: My edit menu takes up around a third of the screen and it kind of gets in the way when I’m trying to build.
    Lava: Touching it would make you bounce around.
    Heat resistance potion: This would let you swim in lava.

    It was so cool seeing you for the first time on the birthday level!! I want to suggest that non-chat players would be able to chat with moderators. And you could also if you want make an option for the parental controls that would enable this.
    Also, remember when I said ‘Mrshoe, I’ve really wanted to be in a screenshot’ or something like that? I wanted to be in the next update level (like MrShoes Monsters in this update). And meeting you in the birthday level was so fun! I wish I could see you more often. 😉

      Hi Happyeditor

      Yeah, very nice to see you and your sister 🙂

      I will certainly consider the mod to nonchat chat. That might be a good idea.

      Oh, btw:
      Birthday

  39. Seriously these potions are not well thought through.

    Why restrict the game by making the effects expire, now you can’t be creative and swap between effect as you wish.

    People won’t bother to create varying enviorments for these effects unless the player physics changing ones are really cheap and will only last for approximentaly 2minutes. (But they would most likely just be used to “exploit” well created minis).

    It would have been much better if you created permanent smileys that could be switched in restricted zones (“jump higher, alter the gravity or run faster.” ones).

    Hey MrShoe, what time do you get on to update the game? I really really want to be part of those awesome people who see you when you update the game. Like the birthday thing, it would be so cool. 🙂 (I know I must have asked this a bunch of times.)

  41. I’m not sure if this is a glitch or a new feature, but apparently whenever somone uses the “load level” command, all users get set back to the start even the ones in god mode. I thought god mode players didn’t have to get reset, and east that’s what I remember. Can you please put it back so god mode players don’t get sent to the start? It’s awfully annoying.

  49. Just to clarify for some: potions WILL NOT stay for beta-only.

    Q: Why not?
    A: Betas have their exclusives already – smileys and blocks. Potions are beta-only only because they aren’t ready! When they will be ready, they will be released to every other user or if failed, will be removed from everyone. DON’T WHINE ABOUT IT.

    Q: But we paid 10$!
    A: That’s your problem. Beta means TESTING, not some kind of upgrade to EE.
    You just have to be happy you do have some beta exclusives that will not be released to others, that’s just moderators’ kindness.

    I personally think they’re a time-waste, here’s why:
    * With ability stuff you will be most likely kicked or they’d be just disabled from good levels so you can’t use them “anywhere”.
    * They last only for 15-45 min even though it’s obvious, why.
    * You could use the same energy for better things that last forever.
    * Want to be blue on map? Buy police for 1000 energy or so and use it whenever you want, for free.

    Personally I don’t find the potions to be a waste at all. Why?

    First of all I have 400 energy, so I can buy one anytime I want.
    Second it’s fun to turn different colors in god mode, it makes me feel special.
    Also it doesn’t matter that it’s so short, because I can just buy another one.
    Lastly I don’t usually spend my energy throughout the week, because feel like i have nothing else I want at the moment, so potions are a nice way for me to spend my extra energy so I don’t feel like it’s wasted. Just because you don’t like the new update doesn’t mean other don’t.
