Thanks

Would also be nice to gain rested in free mode so you can still farm while waiting for rested.

It was originally planned to have a visual indicator for being in free mode but it got rushed in and need an idea of what an icon could look like for it.

Not sure about allowing rested gain while farming using free mode. Will have to think about it.

Having 3 battle mods already is annoying peace, normal and ok. Having a 4th would be horrible. It'll be nice to have it added as a hotkey I think.

Well when it was originally dicussed internally we decided against having another Battle mode.
For these reasons:
- Players are used to how it is right now.
- Longer to tab through the states
- A lot of code changes needed server side to support the new state.
- Free mode doesn't really fit as a battle state because it prevents stat gains and doesn't change anything with how combat interactions work.
- We only need a visual indicator.

We decided and was planning on adding a button to the character status UI to toggle it on and off and add an icon that would go in the same area as where buff potions appear.

Another idea was to change the xp bar colour and / or tool tip but decided against because there is already a lot going on there already with the rested and penalty exp systems and also if don't have much exp it would be hard to see a colour change.

How about the visual indicator just fills the exp bar full of green and the % text gets changed to "free"

Jumping sideways on visuals
Also maybe the x2 logo located somewhere near the exp bar when it's x2 event.

Can you just turn the xp bar red when in freemode like when your in penalty?

another box above the run/walk toggle with a % icon that toggles on or off with ctrl+f as hotkey i think would look pretty good.

Even just a marker like in Abias would do. When health power decreases or stamina freezes ... I like Rocky's idea too

Agree with Gravs idea, it's an XP gain state change, same as rested/penalty xp, therefore should be reflected in the XP bar imo.
