Java Remove Splash Potion Wand in Lucky Islands

[Hazard]

The reason I am bringing this suggestion to you today is that this specific wand has no purpose. No matter how much I try and use the wand, nothing comes out of it, even at times of need. At this moment of time, it is basically a useless item in Lucky Islands, because it does nothing other than just show a cool effect when you get it.

Maybe give the item some new splash potions that will be thrown when the wand is used? As of right now no potions even come out from the wand.

I agree. Sometimes it gives a positive effect, and sometimes a negative. Because of this you can't use it on yourself (you can't risk getting a negative effect) and you also can't use it on an enemy (he might get a positive effect like regeneration).

They could also rework the wand by making it negative only or positive only. This way the wand could be quite useful in my opinion!

I would not cry if this item was removed... Too much of an unnecessary gamble if you ask me.
I like your idea @DMR_Marijn! Going off of this, I thought of 2 potential ideas:

-Perhaps there can just be two separate wands. Something like a "cursed wand" which is the negative potions, and a "blessed wand" with the positive potions.
- One wand but alternates between good and bad by use, so you have to remember what you used last.

I've never had the wand even work for me, multiple times I try and avoid it because it just does not work. The potions don't splash, potions don't even come out of it. Perhaps I should mark this as a bug report instead as it seems to work for everyone else.

Oh that's strange. For me it does work as it should. I think you should indeed mark this as a bug report then.

When the wand is red it's positive and when it's green is negative.

Well, you see the game mode is called Lucky Island's. The whole premise of the lucky island is to gamble all or nothing. The blocks are a gamble and the weapons/gear a gamble. I believe they should add a percent table to the potion wand allowing for a greater chance of say health or regen compared to blindness or poison. This could allow for players to be happier with the potion wand and be more tempted to use it. Instead of worrying whether they will poison themselves or heal their enemy.

...is basically a useless item in Lucky Islands...

It isn't useless in my opinion. I would be really sad if they removed the wand. If you doesn't know how this wand works I kinda get your frustration. So let me explain it to you:

-Whenever the wand is red is a good potion, so you can throw it at yourself. I give something like speed, resistance, fire resistance, etc.

-Whenever the wand is green, it gives a bad potion. If can throw from instant damage to poison to (I believe) slowness.

So keep this in mind: Red is useally linked to bad thing and green to good things. But in this case it is reversed. You can make yourself happy with a good red potion en make yourself sad with a green potion.

NOTE: The splash potion wand changes colour after you threw a potion. So make sure to check the colour before throwing it at yourself or someone else. Have fun using this wand in the near future!

Yes, I just checked it and you're right. I didn't know this before. Thanks for your explanation!

this specific wand has no purpose.

The other things in your message have been answered, but I personally use this wand when going into a fight:
- If it's red, I throw the potion on my opponent, they get some kind of bad effect and get confused, so it's easier to fight
- If it's green ,I throw the potion on myself, which most of the time works as the wand gives effects like speed, strength, instant health, ...

I don't see any reason to remove this wand, it just requires some knowledge and skill to use

I understand why you want to remove this item, but it has use if you use it in the right way. @SanCookie has explained how to use it properly.

However, there are some items in the game that I think needs adjusted or removed. Some of the drops from the lucky blocks are unnecessary to me.
