Shouldn't the new idols restore half Hp instead of just 1k?
I say this for several reasons: most ppl will have enough hp so that even when the curse of the fallen is at full effect, they still have more than 1k hp which means that the curse of the fallen is kinda useless now because now you will always just have 1k hp ( this is assuming ancient idols are not being used).
Secondly when you resurrect at a leystone u get half hp. The purpose of buying idols is to gain the advantage of being able to resurrect on the spot. Therefore it would make sense that u have the same hp as if u resurrected at a leystone.
Thirdly OTM annoyed many people by changing the idols and 1k hp is just not enough... Half hp would make more sense

OTM is already addressing this, probably even in tower beta. They're going to make it some kind of percentage based restore from what I understand. I would expect 30-45% restore but it could be a bit more or even a little less. I don't think it would be 50%+ though because you get that from a leystone. It wouldn't make sense for idols to save you travel time AND restore just as much/more HP than leystoning would. There has to be a disadvantage as well

Why does there have to be a disadvantage? Imo ur buyin idols simply for the privilage of being able to resurrect on the spot. Would make sense Fo it to restore same amount of health as a leystone

There doesn't need to be an idol nerf. Idols are bought with plat, so you should get full health and energy from them. Idols aren't just used to kill bosses, they are used to level as well. If you choose not to use idols or pots when leveling and you die, then your wasting lix. OTOH if you use idols, there shouldn't be a nerf penalty for leveling, otherwise it can be argued that the idol nerf is just OTM trying to reach deeper into our pockets.

Lol if Aileron saw those comments he'd lose his mind :lol: anyways there needs to be a penalty/disadvantage and NOT resurrecting with that much health otherwise it makes the game too easy. I think current idols are horrendous but honestly ancient idols are too good. There needs to be an in between, leaning more towards current idols.

Percentage on health and energy is brilliant atm IMO, balacning off towards melees on health (mostly tanks) and casters on energy, then it wont regen ridicolous amount of health/energy compared to the total pool. That is for now, if game mechanics will be changed, then idols could go out of use.

Ngl the energy from an idol is useful, but not enough hp

Why are people asking for to change new idols back. Heck just ask for a res-only leystone every 100 feet in the game. Its pretty much the same, right?
