Are Icicles too good?

Looting an icicle gives an item that instantly finishes your entire study. I would kill for a lick of that. Would you?

Absolutely 100% busted. I understand looking to ease off on time gating and encourage player interaction at the same time but these are way, way too strong.

I'm fairly sure the idea behind these things is that people will kill for a lick of that.

The biggest problem is that the spawn points started out full of them. If they only had one at a time, or even started with none, it wouldn't have been quite as ridiculous.

As is it was very easy to get rage and reasonable ua within a few hours of the world start.

Hmm but people could theoretically have maxed out characters this week if they found enough salt/icicles. If a faction has alot more access to these materials than others on server they will surely autowin.

Im enjoying world 9 but still feel like world 10 is going to be soon.

No one's buttmad, as far as I can tell. I think they're a cool idea, personally, but the advantage they can potentially give is bigger than probably anything else besides numbers. Stat caps don't change that.

It depends on how the refilling works, though, really. The frequency & amount which they refill means a lot, and as far as I've heard we don't really know that yet.
