The health potions taste so bad that your character cannot bring themselves to drink more than one a minute. Imagine if you had to drink two of those Code Red Mountain Dews in the span of sixty seconds.

I remember in Rift the in-game macros when you would just cast a bunch of abilities in a row would just pick the first one that's off cooldown; which resulted in some classes whose ability use is just a priority queue turning into literally spamming 1 button to do an optimized ability rotation for their class.

Every modern MMO has a 1min cd on potions and it's annoying as shit. Especially because potions are usually shit for healing.
>>
>>333623051
Then you gotta add side effects based off the quality of said potions, are you using a consistant brand or formula or are you just chugging every red bottle you find on the floor in a 300 year old dungeon.
>>
No cooldowns on health potions are silly, it effectively turns your character's actual health irrelevant (only get as much health to survive the biggest possible hit) because you can just chug potions forever.
I never got into ARPGs partly because of that (though I know they have some ways to balance around that).
>>
>>333623627
just give a easily interruptible potion drinking animation, plus limited quantities

lot of ways to go about it depending on what you're trying to do

This needs to be used more, Health Potions are medicine and should be treated as such.

Only one I can remember off the top of my head is FFXI where you would get a status effect that prevents you from chugging potions. The problem was it lasted for like 30 minutes to an hour
>>
>>333624746
That would be difficult to do for certain genre of games though, not impossible but if all games had to do cooldowns on health aids, games like diablo would be really different.

You could probably ven diagram all the games and how they use health restoration items.

I'm so glad that was changed. Quickheal now automatically uses the most potent potion in your inventory. The devs seem to really love figuring out quality of life changes.

Because clickspamming is shallow as shit and any gameplay balanced around it will be boring schlock?

Even combo-based games have cooldowns on individual attacks, because it takes time to build the combo to certain attacks and exit the previous combo to reach it again.
