i like the idea ... i got 15k favor points i have no use for ... so i think this would be an aspect u would have to think wisely about but grant u an additional wateva.

lol this does remind of something in guildwars lol.

and also, i don tthink any one blessing should come free.

The free ones would be weak compared to the rest of the blessings and all of the favor items. The only reason you would use them is if you are saving for an item and can't afford any. The blessings are designed to help focus builds towards something. Currently builds can be controlled through skills and items. By adding high tier blessings you could sacrifice in one area to accentuate something else.

For costs, medium blessings would be 100 and the premium blessings would be about 250. That does sound expensive but the point is to bleed away the excess useless favor we tend to pile up.

If this idea were implemented, and balanced, free blessings would have to be sooooo insignificant - what I'm saying is, if you had just ONE favour item, you would ALWAYS use that over the blessing, because it just wouldn't be practical otherwise.

I actually like this idea more. Say, u buy a "favor request" (this would be a task that you choose you wish to complete.
Cheapest Costs 50 favor (if you lose the game, minimum loss of 10 favor points). You dont recieve anything at this point.
Upon completion of this 'favor request' you recieve the benefit specified in the request.
No one favor request should be extremely superior to another.

eg. "Tower Sieger Request" - destroy X amount of light towers.
      Blessing - Your attacks on towers now deal 300 dmg over 3 secs (does not stack).

eg. "Aura of Resilience" - capture 12 flags.
      Blessing - Aura which pulses every 5 secs. For 5 seconds, grants +15 health regen.

Yeah. And for the most powerful blessings, aside from the favor cost there are also conditions. If you want to keep the blessing you would be forced to play by certain rules. A huge blessing against towers could be lost as soon as you kill an enemy demigod, that sort of thing.

Well you could add an option to disable them. I'm pretty sure you can set games to not allow favor items.

If spending excess favour is the problem you could make consumables cost gold or favour.

Something like 50 for a health vile and 100 for a health potion. If it would unbalance the game with people stocking up right at the beginning have them become available at warscore 2 or every level of warscore another one is unlocked.

That way the people who play more games dont get items/bonuses that casual players missout on, but they still get to spend their favour.

Isn't that what favour does anyway? It lets you buy one item for free at the beginning of the game so you don't have to buy its equivalent later on.

I dont like it either I must say, it does the opposite of what should happen by helping the good people and disadvantaging the not so good people which just makes the diffence even more noticeable.

What would work better is if everyone could choose from a range of items worth roughly the same value at the beginning of the game. This would lessen the divide but would still allow you to customise your demi a little without having to wait for your first 1000-1750 gold.
