I like the concept of challenge gems, particularly the part about blocking bonus and reward xp. However, as far as skill wars are concerned (especially with the clan), I'm not sure they are very useful other than for gatherings. Why:
• Max duration is 30 minutes (wayyy too short).
• Can't set them exclusively to friends/clan
• Everyone needs to be on the same world (and possibly in vicinity)
A few things I'd like clarified:
- What happens if you lobby/dc during a session?
- Do you have to be in the challenge gem's vicinity? If so, how far does it reach?
It could be used for mini skill wars though, like at clan gatherings and stuff
