First of all i want to say hello to everyone here who is sticking it out and playing chef bravo.

Now to the point i have been doing extensive personal testing with the chef portion of the current stat bugs.

Food/drinks are bugged and bugged badly but only eating or drinking one isnt going to show you ANYTHING. in fact if you eat one food or drink one drink everything works perfectly buffs work as intended no stat issues. its the combination of food and drink or 2 foods or 2 drinks where things get hinky.

This is EASY to repeat and happens with all food/drink but you MUST consume more than 1 thing to see it happen, for example drink 2 shots of sunburn first one adds correctly second adds only to the max side of the bar.

Another test i ran is if loading to another zone or world would correct the buff issue while the food/drink was still active in your system and it does, if you drink 2 sunburns and immediatly hop a shuttle you come out the other side with FULL sunburn effect correcly applied so my theory is that this is an issue somewhere with how the system is updating stats.

Sir vimes we need SOME kind of respose to this i have repeatedly posted this information in test center forum and now nearly a week after the patch there hasnt even been acknowledment this bug exists i cannot sell food and drinks people on th live servers ALL know this bug is there why doesnt anyone seem to be saying something on the dev side??

I can say with clear conscience this is the worst thing to hapen to chefs in this game bar none at least there was a workaround to the stack bug and people were buying now my god what are we supposed to do, if this bug isnt fixed and fixed FAST all chefs are doomed to be forced out of the class becuase no one will buy our products even the few good things we CAN make.

Ok, if you just drink ONE Tat sunburn you're cool, but not two right?

-- YP

Nope, drank just one Tat Surnburn last night with a -84 focus modifier. When the buff wore off, I was stuck at 415/500 focus with 1 focus wound.

And there my focus stayed for the rest of the night. Not major stat damage, true, but one-at-a-time is NOT a guarantee that you'll be safe from the bug.

Has anyone managed to work out any system that works even a little?

I had the idea of staggering a primary stat only buff like Charde. The plan was +100 mind one drink, a minute later another +100 and then a minute later another +100

When the bug hits hopefully only one would wear off and be compensated for by the other two but my guinea pig reported it wasn't really working for him

Yes i have found that ONE vercupti will increase the max value but leave the current value the same. To my horror when the food wore off it subtracted from BOTH values leaving my willpower at 160/ 460

So there are bug issues with ONE dose of food

I am reading, but don't know what to say. I am e-mailing Q-3PO about this, I am PMing the chef developer about this, I am posting on the correspondent forum about this....

....don't know what else I can do.

This bug also affects spice.

It's now 6 days old and no one at SOE even acknowledges any reports of it. There's no ETA. There's no "It's working as intended." There's only silence.

SirVimes all i wanted was to be certain that you were aware of the bug as it is. Now i can with clear mind decide that if they dont respond after the chef corespondant is fully aware and has made THEM fully aware that they have a few days tops to respond that they are a) aware and working on it or b) we fixed it it will patch on X day. if i dont see either of those responses coming from a dev in the next 72 hours sorry but im OUT. I can find another way to have fun and make money in this game sorry to all the people depending on me to provide food and drinks but if they cant fix this or even admit its there screw it.

Nikantor, I was posting about this bug on the test center before the latest patch went live.

I saw that SirVimes but my thinking was that what you thought you were reporting and the fact you thought it was fixed might be 2 different things so i wanted to clear it up i really appreciate the work you put in for us, i only wish there was more you could do as the corespondent. I know how frustrated i am you must be far more frustrated even than me.

So again SirVimes thank you for doing what you can,

I only hope for the sake of chefs it will be enough

Don't flame me, 1st post and I'm new to the game...

But I've been looking over the boards and read alot into this, has anyone thought it might not be a bug? I mean there is a realistic quality that needs to be imposed and when consuming drugs ie. Spice/Alcohol you would expect to suffer in the long run, maybe it's there to reflect a dependancy type effect. I was lookin around and some spice is described as having long term nurological degradation...I mean if you take a mess of X pills you'll wind up in a coma...Just an idea...does the 'bug' happen with non-drug related foods? I did see the part about jumping in a shuttle, did you still crash tho after the buff woreoff?

Its ok envoy im not going to flame you alot of folks have not realized yet that food/drinks made by achef have nothing in common with spice, there is no dependancy or downer effect associated with food/drinks never has been and if they decided to add one in the patch they certainly didnt mention it. as far as what happened after the shuttle no there was no "crash" the shuttle trip allowed my food buffs to properly stack and properly work until the duration was up and they wore off normally
