Go ahead and do whatever balancing you need for Chefs, but their customers are not going to bebuying anyfood from themuntil you get this stupid bug fixed. If I have to log out for 30 minutes because food lowered my stats, why the hell would I use it?

I am going to relay this information again even though I know I dont have a hope in hell of anyone listening.

When food or drink is consumedif you have any other buff, or are still under the effect of any stat altering substance or buff, ALLLLL Food and Drinks that affect the secondary stats will raise the total possible value without raising the actual value.

In the case of regenerating stats such as Health Action or Mind, this isn't as bad, because they will eventually regenerate to the total value. If the food buff affects a secondary stat such as will power you are stuck with no effect at all. Sure the total possible value is higher, but the actual value stays the same since it doesnt regenerate like the HAM pools.

BUT THATS NOT ALL!!!! When the food or drink wears off it subtracts!!! the bonus from the actual stat value, down to a maximum low of 150. WOOT! so now your stuck with a low low value that lasts and lasts and lasts. WHY?

Unlike spices which have a timer of a few minutes of negative effects, food and drink can last closer to an hour. Especially if you made the mistake of trying to eat or drink somthing filling! So if the stat affected is...lets say Will Power, your stuck with 150 Will Power for about an hour. So your mind barely regenerates.

BUT IT GETS EVEN BETTER!

So you cease all combat/crafting activities and wait an hour for the food to wear off. Finally! the food and drink are gone! You check your character sheet and guess what!!! The low value is stuck there. So you have to log out for 30 minutes and hope that the character will be restored. If it doesn't you have to call a CSR and hope that they will restore your character.

Gentlemen this is serious game stopping bug that has been poorly addressed in the past. Mainly because people have learned the work around. DONT USE FOOD!

But that isn't a fix, when an entire profession and part of the game has been effectively neutralized.

FIX FOOD NOW!

After the last big patch fixed our food stack bug and we got this even worse bug, I'm wondering what we have in store for us this time.

I'm sure it'll be very devastating. Eating a food can randomly warp you 3000m away while giving you double the amount of the stat in wounds instead of buff. This will incapacitate you for the length of the duration. However, they fix our flavor attribute so our buffs now last 5 times as long. /cheer
