Implemented Remove Anything That Gives Resistance Buffs

Items like Ascalonian Eggnog give you resistance buffs which weakens the amount of damage you take. This brings up the same issue that the Turtle Master Potions did. It causes less skillful types of PvP to become overpowered(Crystal Spam). This Resistance buff gives people the ability to crystal 3 times consecutively with little to no reprecussions. causing little to no counterplay to approaching the middleground.

Why remove dbr tho, i get that the drunk effect doesn't last that long, but cmon let the crystal people have some fun. Just the side effects alone make eggnog terrible when crystalling

Alcohol isn't meant to become a PvP meta, most brews have a positive and a negative effect for that reason, but the meta was allowing you to use DBR to remove the negative effect so you just got Regen, which was not the intent.

?? well I think you made a typo but if you think it gives some high level of regen, it doesn't. It just gives res1 for 40 seconds which still doesn't even let you tank 3 crystals.

the other regen :). If it didn't help you crystal at all then this change should make no difference for you then.

yeah I don't think anyone used regen anyway 😭 . And referring to the Res1 nerfs, yeah sure: I went all of lemonade vs bits crystalling without res1. But me saying "It doesn't even let you tank 3 crystals" doesn't mean it made no difference, it allowed you to tank 2 crystals without having to 3 block. Yet the vast majority of players continued to crystal themselves back to back to back even with that, so I don't really see why it got nerfed, literally only 3 people were good enough to use it properly.

It was more about nipping it in the bud before it got out of hand. Increasing number of players were bringing it to our attention and simply because "not many people use it" or "are good at using it" is not really a great argument against whether something should be nerfed or not I'm afraid.
 
Rather than removing bread, why not just tweak the cooldown timer on it? Why not make it so bread doesn’t affect drunkness only in conquest battles? I feel like this unintentionally does way more harm to the pve community than it should.
