Taken moments ago. Buffs are raising max value, but not the current value.

This picture was after I drank sunburn and ice blaster, and Ate Meatlump and Ice cream.

I just tried this test too. I drank a prepatch Sunburn and I saw my Stats go up just fine and come back down just fine. I did not see what you show in your screen cap.

I then figured maybe it would be something about the prepatch ones, so I made 2 starshines and then the Sunburn and once again I did not have any issues. My stats went up just like they were supposed to and came back down just like they were supposed to.

Could they have fixed this in the hot fix this morning and not let us know?

I just took this picture it wasnt fixed

Try wearing some armor, drink a sunburn(Doesnt matter when it was made) eat a meatlump. wait for it to wear off, drink another. it will break.

I'm having the same issue:

i) my initial focus is 400/400
ii) an ormachek delves that it buffs focus by +96/230s

1) eat an ormachek
2) my focus is now 400/496, and remains that way for 230s
3) 230s later, my focus becomes 304/400, and remains that way permanently

Now, obviously the problem is in step (2) here. For some reason certain food items are not properly buffing secondary stats when initially applied. They increase the max value w/o increasing the current value. It's not all food that has this bug, since a tatooine sunburn seems to buff properly. I won't speculate on the cause of this bug, just present some details on it's effect. In addition, I've noticed other stat-loss issues. For example, the other day my constitution was stuck at 150/450, with no wounds, and I hadn't eaten any food items that affected that particular stat. No idea how it got that way.

workaroud: eat another ormachek. sometimes this fixes it, sometimes not.

I forwarded that picture onto the developers.

I think I have heard of this bug before but have never been able to re-produce it.

Opps, sorry, I meant the bug was on willpower, not focus, for the ormachek.

sunburns are bugged too if you eat, lets say, a meatlump first, it seems. =/

ok, did some more in depth testing (in the wilds of Dathomir, no less)

Food and drink.-seems- to work fine if you only eat one Food, or drink one drink. that buff works fine, and runs out fine.

Example

1.Drink sunburn

2.Buff works

3.buff wears out fine

BUT, lets say you eat a meatlump first. The constitution buff works fine, but The Stength and stamina from the sunburn do not work.

1 eat meatlump

2. meatlump buff works fine

3. drink sunburn

4 Sunburn buff broken.

This works in any combination, with any foodor drink.(IE Drinks sunburn, eat meatlump. Sunburn buff works, meatlump doesnt)

its really cool when you eat a meatlump, eat a ryshcate, and drink a sunburn. The constitution buff is the only one that sticks

Summary. only one food or drinkworks at a time.

Dont take a month to fix this!

OK

Vercupti is DEFINITELY bugged

You eat it, it increases your Max willpower but not the level, eg: you go from 448/448 to 448/748
However, when the buff wears out, it takes the buff off both the leval and the max, so you get 148/448, and it will not rise,

The ONLY way to fix it, is to logout for ~45mins to 1hour.

I really dont know what to do any more. I was one of the first Master Chefs, I have tried my hardest to report issues and exploits, and repeatedly see only the exploits fixed. I dont WANT to drop chef, but they really dont have a clue when it comes to coding professions, or QA control. I have had it.

I hope SirVimes can get a response on this issue on the correspondant forum, as you just cannot use food at all now, unless you are prepared to logout for an hour after every one runs out.

I think any fix will come too late for me, Im now looking at what skills I can get that will compliment Smuggler, and I will probably start dropping the chef skills starting tomorrow

I had the same bug as the original poster just about half an hour ago when combining thaktillos and sunburn. Some how the buffstats don't add to my actual stats but instead to the max stats.

Buffs are definately broken at the moment. I am really concerned that if they don't do some serious chef fixing soon many of the already pissed chefs will start a new profession or even a new game.

It isnt JUST food tho
I got a full set of doc/entertainer buffs

The dancer/musician buffs increased the max of teh stat, but not the current level.

After that, the level just keeps dropping.
Then Str started dropping (not the max, the level), then stam & con.

Eating or drinking only increased the max, not the level.

I am now on 1 str,stam,con,foc, will and the CSR's advice in chat ?

Log out for 30mins after you get ANY buff.....

kind of makes buffs useless.

The problem is, as I tried explaining, is that several of my stats have been shafted now for 24 hours, but will they do anything ? Not at all

Have you tried just the meatlumps without the drink? I think it might be the meatlumps not working right now.

This is a problem with a variety of food.

all I can say is... grrr

I said the meatlump was an example.

Interchange that with any food or drink.

Only the first (insert food or drink here) will work. anythign ate or drank after that will not work.
