I'm still trying to figure out how you can dodge so well after eating a *whole* pie? I would think if anything, you'd be a better target

It's came to my attention when a friend mentioned to me that he's never "Ever" seen a +Dodge+ post-CU. I agree with him and i use Pikatta Pie all the time :-/


Typicall Food & Drinks can look like:


Breath of Heaven

Blah Blah Blah >_>

Modify Mind

Modify Health


If you look at the description of PikattaPiewhen consumed you get something like this:


Pikatta Pie

Eating this will make you light on your feat allowing you to dodge more easily

< ??? > There is no label to indicate it does any modification at all.


It's my understanding that Dodge could of been removed from the game due to lack of anybody dodging making this food nul. Can anyone of you Chefs tell me i'm right or wrong?

It never has modified the "dodge" skill, it never did Pre CU, and doesn't post CU.

What it does is modify your "To Hit" stat, making you harder to hit.

It basically makes other people "Miss" you more. Also people are reporting slight damage mitigation from it.

I've noticed a significant damage reduction with it, and it can be used on top of other damage mitigation foods like Synthsteak and Exoprotein Wafers. I think that the level of effect is in relation to the amount of defense that you already have, so if you have a huge defense, you will receive a smaller benefit from it.

/sigh... I'm still waiting on new info Higgs hinted at re Chef that hasn't been made public yet. I'm not blaming Higgs at all... it's not his fault that they haven't "released" it yet... but it'd be nice if they told us something... anything.

it's a lot harder to check this and whether or not the block drink stacks with saberblock because the combat log just shows a generic: "[opponent] misses." message regardless of why the miss occurred. kind of frustrating to try and figure out


a little off topic, but in my week long "time-out" i had a thought about the workings of pica thunder/vegeparsine. perhaps they're still adding the same bonus to defense that they did before the CU. in other words, maybe a +100 defense vegeparsine is really only giving the user +25 melee defense, making it much harder to notice than it should be. i've definately seen pica thunder and vegeparsine mitigate a little bit of damage against very low CL critters. they can't be completely broken, but they also can't possibly be working how they're supposed to.

"it's a lot harder to check this and whether or not the block drink stacks with saberblock because the combat log just shows a generic: "[opponent] misses." message regardless of why the miss occurred. kind of frustrating to try and figure out "


I don't think it would be possible to figure out which food/drink caused the block. When you really get down to it, mmorpg's are just fancy, CPU-consuming variations of the old "roll the dice and if I get a higher number you don't hit me but if you get a higher number you hit me for y amount of damage times x that you rolled on the dice." So I'm assuming (and I might be wrong) that what Pikatta does is up the likelihood that you're going to get a higher number, and thus block. So if you had a 5% chance to block before, and Pikatta adds 2%, you have a total of 7% chance to block. There really is no "reason why" the miss occurred, if you follow my logic here.


I think the way to test whether it's 2% or 20% is to do about ten tests without the Pikatta and calculate % blocked, averaged over all ten trials. Then you do that with Pikatta. Then you take average of Pikattaminus average without Pikatta, and you've got the % blocked by Pikatta. Roughly, because it's all probabilities.

mebbe i'm dismembering pre-cu but didn't it have a separate combat log message for misses, pikatta pie misses, dodges, blocks, and counterattacks?

Then shouldnt they make some kind of refernce to this in the food details =/ ?







The dev's are lazy.


For years now, BH's have seen this when they shot up a Arakyd or Seeker droid,"Conducting planetary seach (sic) pattern".


Or this for jedi for Aura:


"You use the force for enhanacing (sic) your natural defenses".


Not exact quotes but the words mispelled are the same.


Or this:


"Pacio Nabooina (sic) Berry Fruit"


It simply takes too long to correct the descriptions and spelling errors in messages.


A great example of this in Chef is Ruby Bliel. The description drives people crazy. If the dev's got a nickel for every post that people claimed that Ruby Bliel is broken or not working as intended because the description was written while one of the dev's was high or drunk, they wouldn't have to work on this game anymore.


Proper descriptions for stuff in this game would cut down on a lot of posts on the forums and probably save a lot of time and money for everyone concerned, especially for the correspondents.
