Flask Icon Microtransaction Idea

You don't have a lot of magic flasks I think to say that, some people have got flasks not to regen health or mana or have a shield, but to instantly dispell something (chill effect, ...).

And there is nothing yet to distinguish these from a normal health flask.

True. Personally, I just remember that #1 is for evasion, #2 for resist, #3 anti-curse, but yeah, I guess. Why not.

Extend the idea to Skills and Skill Slots too. Also various custom customized HUD's for purchase.

Elaborate please, because skills on your hotbar have icons to represent them. Maybe I misunderstood.

Your Mana and Health potions have icons too so I don't see the problem? Let us pay money for an icon pack that lets us customize how our Skills look on the skill bars so that we can better identify them/use appearances that we can (personally) better identify.

I understand there is a lot less visual variation in the flasks but still, food for thought.

Kabraxis may be abrasive at times, but he's no troll and he's a confirmed supporter. He's been with the game longer than I have and he is a big fan of what the developers have done, as far as I know.

Stash Tabs and Premium Tabs are fine, I guess, but premium icons for flasks? I think they're more likely to just redo icons in the future, like they're doing with skill gems in the next major patch. If they want to improve the UI that's great, but don't make it optional. Make it a universal improvement.

There will be plenty of things for you to spend your money on in the near future. I think the problem is a lot of people can't justify spending money on run of the mill cosmetics, but I think things like the gore add-on will help you all pop your microtransaction cherries and once you do it the first time, suddenly it's so easy to do it again and again.

I suppose if yall want them to be free, whatever. But I wouldnt see why they couldnt or shouldnt charge a little something for it. I personally wouldnt have a problem with paying for it (except I cant spend any money on this game ATM). And I think it would really be useful for the casual player who woudlnt necessarily remember which flask does what after a week of not playing. Or, like me, I usually play a character for a week take a break from that character and play another.

Why make it free if not everyone is going to use it?
