Burning Boost / Does that happen to you?

To me, so often that i stopped counting...

If I am going to face a very tough opponent (in pvp or pve or whatever), I boost up. The issue here is the next fight will automatically select again the same boost (if stock is enough). Once the fight is over, I select another one, then muscle memory takes over, and I click, click, clik until the fight begins. And then... oh ****, I once again used unnecessary boosts. I must have burnt thousand of Iso up to this point. My personal record is 3 times in a row, with +1 to all color. Well done, automatic selection, well done. Damned muscle memory. icon_mad.gif

    Yes, unfortunately.

    Last time was just yesterday, went to heal in the Venom stage... a milisecond after I clicked fight I noticed that I hadn't removed my boost.

    A classic "D'oh" moment icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Yep, burning those +1 all when you only have 9 on prologue healing... Been there very recently.

    What really gets me is it keeps them in between play sessions sometimes, log in after 1 hour, play an easy match... See too late you are fully boosted... Wth.

    My vote goes to removing all boosts automatically upon match completion.

    Did that once with my boosts still in place, clicked one button too many. I guess I have to be more careful before starting the round

    No! Keep them when you switch away without starting a fight I say.

    I did it maybe 2 times over 100+ play days. And boosts staying selected is not a problem in itself. However the simple UI request to have 'clear all' button, or better yet a '-1' along with the existing +1 is PITA, as unselecting them is less than pleasant.

    I think an easy solution would be a "repeat" button or something like that. Basically clear the boosts after every match but remember them (including stacks). So if I wanted to use the exact same setup again for the next match, I would click this "repeat" button at Boost selection screen. So if you wanted them cleared, it's done automatically but if you want to use the same boosts again it's 1 click.

    I "burn" boosts at least once a day. I consider it a tax for trying to play so fast :shrug:

    Absolutely, just yesterday I also accidentally wasted a complete set of boosts on prologue healing. Oh well, **** happens.
