Special Occasions and fireworks

[Mynno]

With the upcoming American holiday of July 4th as well as other special occasions such as last night's unlocking of the Newhaven's monolith I would like to see the timer for fireworks in game removed or shortened considerably. I am not really sure why there is a timer on them in game, but the timer is definitely a reason you don't see them being used often. I know one of my characters has made a few just for fun but the delay really kills the fun in setting them off and I would be willing to bet that quite a few players don't even know they exist in game.

Is this a game breaker? No. It's just something that would bring a little more joy to the players to help them celebrate something in game.

Are you meaning the 120s cooldown on the anniversary fireworks? The cooldown is mainly for performance concerns as these effects can be quite expensive. However, I would probably attribute their infrequent use more to them being awarded in limited quantities for a narrow window of time. There is currently no way for players to acquire more fireworks - we are working on ways to potentially open this up, but for now they are exclusive to those who played during our 1 year anniversary event.

That would be the ones. I think there is also a long cool down on flares (the ones you can craft) as well. Which flares while not as impressive as fireworks they still look cool. Thank you for replying and explaining why there are cool downs on them.
