Potions in Battlegrounds?

[Wolfstorm]

Are potions allowed in Battlegrounds PvP? I used potions for healing three times, and they didnt work. The last one I used was a tri-restoration potion, and had no effect. At the same time, the warden fighting me was healing herself constantly. I just want to know if potions are allowed or if it was some bug.

No, I wasnt. The potion icon had darkened, the potion cooldown timer was activated, and I listened the sound of the potion being used, but the potion counter didnt go down, and the health bar didnt go up. Well, I abandoned this game mode. Maybe the devs fix it in the future.

You were interrupted while drinking. The count doesn't go down but the cooldown happens so that you don't spam it again to reward the player interrupting you.

Drinking potions is instantaneous, theres no animation to it.

After about level 10 i i have only had health potions work very very rarely ! ... I play PVE and and i am npw over CP 500 , maxed out alchemy skills and ? i cannot be bothered to even try using potions anymore ! ... They are useless .. I think its a bug , but devs have not got time to fix bugs in this game

this is 100% false. potions are instant.

the potions work fine. its possible you were defiled and thus your heals do less, and thus your pot does less.

Pretty sure there are cheats preventing activation of potions

Jokes aside, you couldn't see the hp bar go up because healing is halved in pvp and that includes potions. That much of a hp increase during combat is not really noticable.
