Bravery Potion Cooldown
Its really annoying to have a 1 hour cooldown on the cheap bravery that i'm sure everyone has bucket loads off. It would be nice to be able to use them every 30 minutes like the strong stuff. Shorten its cooldown plox

And guess how long it takes BHS/EME to listen...
Strong Bravery Potion IS the "solution" of 1 hour Bravery Potion.
Which is also the reason why "Replace all the sources of old Bravery Potions with Strong Bravery Potions." has been suggested innumerable times, but apparently it's too much work and such a low priority that it's taken months, and may still take many more months/years before it gets implemented, if it ever does.
Meanwhile most development companies can hotfix something like that within seconds and get it ready for shipping within the next major update for the game. Even if it's some low priority update any development company would normally have at least 1-2 people working on low priority updates so that fixes don't take months or years before implementation, since there will ALWAYS be higher priority content. Thus the "low-priority" thing is always a really [filtered] excuse for low-effort fixes.
im pretty sure spacecats promised this or another eme staff did like a year ago.
Elite gets the strong potions in the daily consumable box. Not sure what was promised.
What I recall was it being promised to be in the daily consumable box.
This was never an intention. Strong Bravery/Canephora potions are an upgrade to regular ones, but that doesn't make regular potions useless by any means. Changing the cooldown of the originals was something the TERA team investigated a while back before the Strong versions were implemented, but is unfortunately not something that can happen in the foreseeable future.
That wasn't promised, but what we did say at the time was that Strong potions were intended to be earned in some of the ways the normal potions were being earned. That included mention of daily Elite boxes so I can see where you might get the idea of a perm Elite version. Elite Consumable Boxes currently contain one of each potion.
edit: The version 2 gives the same buffs/duration as version 1 with only a shorter cd on the pot

That said, kudos to EME/Spacey for the Weekend Boombox promo. Got my box yesterday, opened it and there was a Veteran's Complete Crystalbind. Which would have been really cool if I had not been paying for Elite since Tera went FTP, or if I could pass it along to a non-elite guildie or friend. Ok, "really cool" is an exaggeration (just a bit), but I am trying to be positive here!
First of all, while Strong pots might be an upgrade to regular ones, it's a minuscule change, and what DOES make the regular Bravery potion useless is not being able to use it, which you can't for 30 minutes after it wears off.
Also if changing the cooldown is apparently not possible for the foreseeable future, and it was planned to make Strong potions attainable from existing methods for regular potions, why is replacing the existing methods of attaining normal potions with Strong potions not a valid idea? The 2% aspd or 3% damage is nowhere near game breaking. It also easily solves the cooldown issue which apparently can't be fixed.
The biggest point for this is probably the weekly vanguard reward, which current gives old potions, along with veteran crystalbinds which are objectively worse versions of complete crystalbinds, which are already practically worthless items. It seems really weird that we have better items, that would fix the issues with the existing items, available, that could replace the existing rewards and have only positively impact on the game, yet there's a weird hesitation in making the change.
