Thread: Anyone online to check a possible new food/drink bug?
Cant we nerd buy GF Faction from a smugler ? If so I could get my first Gf in no time.

I was scanning through the "publish 11.2 issues" thread, and saw this reported:
- Brandy does not work correctly.. when consuming two brandys, they are counted as one, so if one ends in 40 min, the other ends at the same time, but remains in the stomach....
So it sounds like this poster is saying you take a 40m brandy at 1:00 (so it'll last until 1:40), then take another brandy at 1:20 (supposed to last until 2:00), but he/she is seeing the effects of both wear off at 1:40.
I may not have a chance to check this tonight (working on gaining some girlfriend faction, so I probably won't be able to log in...), so I was wondering if anyone could check on this. Unless you actually need the buff, don't bother with any enhanced stuff. And testing would probably go faster if you work with the short-duration stat buffs (wan-wan, kiwik, etc).
- When the first food wears off, does the buff icon go away?
- When the first food wears off, does the stat increase of the second go away?
I suppose it's also possible that he took two 40m brandy at the same time, and when they wore off in 40m he still had filling (which is normal).
Well, I hadabout 30m to myself, so I ran a test with +336, 10m8s Kiwik swirl:
Ate first at 18:17:24, ctrl-C showed +336 quick/stam, buff UI showed 10m remaining.
Ate second at 18:22:34, ctrl-C showed +672 quick/stam, buff UI showed 10m (known bug, second dose overwrites the timer on the UI).
First wore off at 18:27:32, ctrl-c showed +336 quick/stam, buff UI showed 5m.
Second wore off at 18:32:42, ctrl-c showed +0, buff UI icon gone.
So unless anyone else showed different results, I think the original poster was just confused.

Ah, if it was only so easy. It's basically like the FRS xp, if you don't constantly work on gaining it, it slowly decays over time.
My god man...that is the truest statement I have ever heard.

I had noticed somthing strange with brandy usage on my main the other night....not sure if it is related to this or not...
Drank two 46m 49fill brandies...like I always have....when it wore off, I still had almost half of my stomach full and could not chug two more...normally brandy lasting 45m your stomach is empty soon as its gone you can chug another two.
This (and the original report, now that I think about it) may be an old digestion bug, or that bug is getting more noticable.
1) Could you drink at least one brandyafter the first two wore off?
2) Are you in a high-lag area (coronet starport, DWB, FS village, etc)?
3) Are you running a fast-looping macro of any kind (healing a macro-tumbler, buff macro, CoB)?
4) Did you attempt to eat/drink anything prior to the brandy wearing off and get a "you are too full" message?
I'll double-check digestion rates tonight, hopefully they haven't made any major changes to that.
