Thread: Have we made fools of ourselves?
Milk and eggs ARE no where NEAR as important has many other issues with the Chef Profession. I would rather see the Profession be fixed and made useful than for the deveopers to add Milk and Eggs, of which can only be used in a few foods.
Importance Level
1. Increase ALL food attribute buffs and time duration so they make sense. No tier 1 food should be highly superior than a tier 3 food (Example: Starshine Surprise is better than any Novice Chef and any tier 1 food, not right).
2. Fix factories so if a schematic has a attribute for stacks/uses it acknowledges it. I don't use factories just for this bug. If I have a schematic for a 10 stack item I want a 10 stack item coming out, not a 1 stack.
3. Balancing all buff manners within game. Spices and Chefs are all on the same playing field...we're pretty much like support mages/players. There needs to be a Pro AND Con to being either.
Simple Solution
Chefs: Craft foods with moderate buffs and very long duration. Affects all primary and secondary attributes with no downtime. Chefs need about 10 times the xp to get good foods. Spices only takes FOUR boxes (box 1 = 10k, 20k, 30k, box = 40k - not balanced)
Spices: Crafted foods with very high buffs and very short durations. Higher downtime due to higher buffs. Spices are easy to get, I can get all four Spice boxes in a day. Not balanced. Bottom line: Give Spices very high attribute buffs for only for short periods of time.
I think the first wave of Chef changes should effect ALL chefs, not just the ones who want dessert. I'm hanging my hat for a little on this profession. With so many issues SWG has right now who knows when they'll get to us.
All the time we're clamoring for milk and eggs, when doing a word search on optimus's guide returns not ONE recipe that uses eggs. We do need milk, but we've placed milk and eggs on our priority, and the devs will probably be looking at the eggs bit in bewilderment and thinking **edit**?
I've tried to verify this, and all I'm seeing in my recipes(everything except desserts III, IV and master), I haven't seen one egg mentionned...
Now that I've masterred I'm just going to be casually cheffing, filling orders when I need money, but mostly hunting for the best resources to make the best foods currently possible... I'm thinking that maybe once t'illa t'iil resources come around maybe, just maybe it'll be a really sweet buff since getting the necessary resources is no joke...
