Maybe not even that long. Put a 1 hour cooldown on it...that way you can not just sit at one boss and spam him over and over...

Does the cool down take effect at use of the item or when an exotic drops? Having it at use of the item would be really frustrating when combined with the buff for staying in a strike playlist. It's a decent idea that I think should happen when it works, which they are clearly tracking since they are increasing the chances each time it is used until you get one.

I would say when you use one.. Once you use one, you cannot use another for an hour. Playing a couple more strikes in between wont hurt.. at least that eliminates people spamming a single boss.

Wouldn't a 10 minute cooldown do that? That would be enough time that you can use it about once per strike, maybe twice if there's a midpoint boss that will trigger it. That seems reasonable to me. It prevents suicide-bombing the boss, and still allows use as originally intended. Then an additional cooldown could be added once it is successful if needed.

well the problem with a 10 minute cool down that I see is that guardians would probably still suicide bomb themselves and sit at the boss for 10 minutes until they can use another ToC and rinse/repeat. 10 minutes and starting at the boss is probably shorter than most fresh strike runs. So I would predict players to still just sit at the boss, wait the 10 minutes, then kill themselves again. a 30+ minute cooldown would more likely force a player out of the boss encounter.

You have a good point, but I have less problem with letting people sit on their butts for 10 minutes at a time for a chance of getting an exotic. It slows things down considerably and is boring for them. I was thinking most lower level strikes are gonna take about 15 minutes, and the higher ones just over 20. Keeping it low means those who are legitimately running through strikes can use one each strike. If someone really wants to sit on their butt for 10 minutes, kill a boss, sit for 10 minutes, kill a boss, just to get an exotic, then they are the reason they don't enjoy the game. I may not reply again just cause these are getting hard to find. Good discussion though.

Maybe, yeah I could see that, it encourages playing strikes over and over.....though I have a feeling that would just make people get online once an hour to go kill an ultra then log off....like some weird destiny - Farmville hybrid lmao.
