Ya its pretty overkill

I disagree completely,

There is a reason its been 5m and thats due to the fact that we are supposed to use pearls sparingly since i mean you cant really pearl away from an army of guns irl.

5m is fair since it gives you time to repot but still fight for abt 2m till its off cooldown. Plus this has been suggested a lot before in the past and has never been added, People dont die enough as it is..

Play safer if you dont want to die.

Pearls are balanced as they are now. There is more ways u can get out of traps such as climbing picks or placing your beloved horses. Or just ask your teammates for help. Also i dont see how reducing the cooldown would be even benefitial since if you throw a good pearl u are safe anyway and if you miss your pearl you are most likely gonna die or survive another way. This change will only support the gameplay of people just using millions of pearls to run away from any fight which is just unfun. Gege out.

A majority of traps aren't climbing pickable. Not all players use horses nor should be expected to.

There are plenty of servers with less pearl cd where players still die, maybe even more than in CCNet :shrug:

If the number of traps and random terrain defacement wasn't this high, the pearl cooldown of 5min would be optimal and more than enough. But unfortunately how sieges and the community work has made "playing safely" as you put it nuxva, close to impossible.
