HAM buffs are anobvious issue... you have to figure out your combination which is fun, let me tell ya. Then, once you decide on the "perfect" combo you better make sure to take them in order or you're screwed.


Defense/offense foods.. you have to UNEQUIP YOUR WEAPON for these to work?? Excuse me? No, I'm sorry, that's intolerable. It's bad enough that you're trying to remember to drink an ale or pyro every 59 seconds or so along with trying to keep track of all your other timers... having to re-equip a weapon every time you take something is inexcusable.


Broken foods are another story...I can't tell you how many tells I've gotten from people asking what's wrong with their Bliel that they bought from so-and-so chef.


Anyways, anybody else feel this way? I've just explained certain aspects of foods/drinks for the 1341234243 time to some clueless customer and let's just say I'm tired of it (not because I don't like helping customers, but because we shouldn't have to do this just because the devs have decided that nobody should understand foods).





Glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.

For the better only in certain cases. You can't really say that being able to heal after 1 second 1 time is better than like 22minutes of faster healing.. it would only be better only in a few instances. And anyways, I don't care which way it works I just want how it works to actually be reflected in the description. Otherwise chefs are essentially lying to customers when they sell it.
