Suggestion that will fundamentally change disaster scenarios...

What if the purgatory pendant did not drop people off chain when used?

Think about it...if you have gotten to the point where only a healer is alive and they have a ton of dead people on their chain wouldn't it be sweet if the healer could just pendant and take everyone home instead of just saving themselves or, what tends to happen most often, trying a chain run and getting stuck then mass departing? No one likes to stay fallen for 30 minutes to an hour and a depart hurts progress when you rank very slowly. I think this suggestion could cause groups to push a little further, be a little more exciting, and let everyone have a bit more fun.

You just want me to spend fifty ranks on a purg pendant.

I get where you're coming from, although I feel like the unspoken GM answer to this will likely be "EPS", which more or less accomplishes the same thing with a bit more effort and risk.

Related: fond memories of that time a lone Kalian saved a bunch of us past the bridge with some crazy EPS/chain juggling. So hero.

Yeah EPS drops off chains. We wiped a few days ago and had I had the ability to EPS & chain I probably would have. I actually was about to Zu fort, but that plan got dashed thanks to incoming.

50 ranks take you about a year to earn at your level. But damn, can't believe you haven't given in to the awesome convenience of the pendant.

Saving ranks for the cad I bet! ;)

Lori gets 1-2 messages per hunt usually and hunts at least 2 sometimes 3 times a day. I imagine she's pretty close to a rank a day. If there's anyone that works hard for their progression it's her.

Icy is right. I can get a rank a day usually if I do 16 hunts a week ;) But it's still not worth a month and a half to get a purg pendant. I might as well exit with the fighters anyway since I so rarely leave early.
