Chef Archive

But jumping to conclusiond are what chefs do best.

I agree with them making foods not stack on the same stat. I think being able to buy the game and 3 days later be a master [Insert any profession available here]is rediculous. Most of the people posting here saying "Chef is dead now. I really liked the prof, but the Devs killed it" are really saying " This sucks. My vendors won't be making 5 million credits a day now."

As long as foods buff, people will buy them. It's that simple. People will do anything to make their grind easier or give any edge in PvP. Theyjust won't beneeding as much as they were needing. The only thingIsee really being affected here is our pocket books. That's good for the customers as far aas I can tell. They won't ahve to drop all of their hard-earned cash on foods.

It's funny how everyone was pissed after the CU went live, then loved Chef again, and now it's doom and gloom all over.

I am a chef i made a good amount of money these past three weeks before the 17 publish.The problem i see is that i can not stack teitranoodle's an blob candy at the same time.So i guess they dont want action regen too go over 100% either huh,and i have tested this i just did.They need too take fill away from all foods now.Make all foods 1hour in length to balance this new food stacking way of life.

Well as a BH I must say I am dissapointed... I understand the spice stacking concern, but without the benefit of foods, the Jedi have gone out of reach, there will be now way to take down a master defender/healer without stacking food buffs.

The nerfing of the chefs effects every balance within the game when it comes to BH vs Jedi... Jedi nerf is to come?

spice stacking was a problem not food stacking as food didnt give u regenerations as powereful as spice did only karkan ribenes which does have its big down falls high filling and low time. food stacking was 1 of the best ideas brought forward to the CU as players cud actually "tweak" there buffs to what suited them personally. the amounts of foods were actually useful each 1 supplying good ideas to players discovering wat buffs wud suit them totally catering to the need of the user. But now most foods dont stack in fact so little stacks now(havent found a gr8 mix yet im still testing the update) that it appears we are going back to the old ways of little foods being used and the usual obvious foods being used. I am highly dissapointed in the devs doing this with out a good enuff warning we need time to sell the foods we have made but unfortunatley once again we lose money and most of our foods we have already made won't sell as within weeks now people will have worked out the best food to stack and only that will be made. It seems to me that all the work changing foods by the devsand effort making them by the chef players has all been wasted as i fear only 25% of the menu chefs can provide will be crafted. If anything what the devs shud have decided was to increase filling on certain foods and still allow stacking of food buffs as the foods are not unlimited they already had limits "the fill" being the main factor this wud have sufficientally dealt with any problems the devs had about food buffs stacking. I am highly dissapointed by the devs lack of consideration for not only the veiws of the people these desicions effect but the huge downfalls to the people that have already spent awful amounts oftime and spending there credits on resorces and making food to sell in the pre publish 17 system. For once i wud like to see people effected by desiscions like these to be reimbersed in some way.

I've just had it confirmed to me that the way that HAM buff stackis now, is the way it will remain. But i've also had some information about the way foods now interact.

Now HAM stats will not be buffable above 20% of its base stat, which means limitations have to be put on the Ham buffing foods to ensure that they don't unbalance gameplay.

Foods will stack or stomp over some other foods stats to make it so you can eat some foods that overlap in stats. I've not got all the infomation on how this will work, but it sounds like food combinations will still be possible. Just not to the potentially unbalancing nature it could without the limitations.

As of now, i'm not best please, but this is the situation we find ourselves, the devs are stead fast about not letting buffs getting out of hand like they previously were. Please be patient, and try not to jump conclusions, until we have all the infomation.

Chef is a crafting profession. The purpose of using skill points on a crafting profession and practicing it is to make money. A patch that damages the ability of the chefs to make money damages the profession. People were upset right after the CU came out because foods no longer stacked. When stacking was re-introduced, the sale oflots of varities of foods, especially artisan foods, which can be made cheaply and are affordable to many players, became popular and greatly bosted the viability of the profession. This patch is causing an outcry among chefs because it is undoing the beneficialchanges that chefs and our correspondent worked towards after the CU was released.
