why not just give us the option tooverwriteover a crap buffim pretty certain it cant be that hard to write a string of code that allowes you to rebuff ofc there would have to be a consent box for this as it would be quite annoying getting buffed by someone for 3k only to have n00b a come along and rebuff you for 120


seriously im getting really annoyed with it now im sick of making enhance packs with same power etc and doing health for 2800 on one person and 800 on another its just not good enough this is for doctors a source of income once ppl start getting **edit** buffs off ppl they wont bother going to em again

Get force choked by a FS NPC, then you'll understand what they meant by "debuff".

Its a negetative stat effect, not the actuall process of removing a buff.

I still agree the bug is annoying as hell though... but just duel and get rezzed or DB and rebuff yourself after. Annoying, but only effective way to do it.

I won't be able to check until the weekend. Anyone fight force NPC's since the patch? Are there icons for their attacks on you in the new window? I don't hang out at high level content on TC.

I did last night. And no nothing in the new window. Only the buffs I had applied myself. However Muon has a spiffy icon lol but not normal food. But the Force NPC's that choke you definantly kill your HAM, but no icons in the new window. I also noticed that if you die, the buffs remain in the window. Now I was able to rebuff after death 2:3 times I tried....HOWEVER....I did notice that instead of the buff timers resetting w/ new buffs.....its adds the time. So basically you have a 8hr buff in the window. Lots of bugs. I'm glad I actually know what you all are talking about now.

They need a system like EQ where you can click off any buff you dont want. I don't care about how long my buffs last, what I care about is the ability to remove buffs that I don't want & to be able to rebuff over crappy buffs that are a result of the other crappy system that accounts for buff results. Right if someone were to buff me with enhanced a packs I wouldn't be able to cancel the buffs or overwrite them.


Like everyone else, I would like for Doc's to be able to overwrite buffs or have the ability to debuff them so they can do the bufffs over.

So PvP killing with no decay is the only way to remove buffs... Talk about a broken a$$ system.

"However, it still amazes me that SOE took the time to create a spiffy new interface and dubiously useful timer indicator, when they could have used it to fix an incredibly annoying bug that has been in the correspondents top 5 list for months."

No kidding!!

They waste programmers time on FLUFF while letting real issues and bugs persist for months on end.

Why add something new, when the OLD IS STILL BROKEN!!

it's enough to make baby jesus cry

The problem here is that some of you folks are assuming they made this new interface for us, as Doctors. (What can we say, buffing is a big ability for Docs so we often think of ourselves primarily for that ability, after all.)


In reality the fact that this interface shows Doc buffs is jsut a perk. It really has nothing to do with us at all. The Chefs needed it, or how else would you know that Jawa Beer was working, or that you had some food that was giving you a bonus to yoru XP gains? They needed a screen to show all that stuff that you really couldn't tell you had going otherwise. In that respect it wasn't fluff, it was a necessary part of the Chef revamp.


For OUR issues, though, yeah, it seems like fluff. But it wasn't meant for us or to address any of our issues. We just were not a focus for this publish.

I was able to rebuff myself even though my buff timer showed over an hour left on my buffs. I had logged and come back. My HAM was all back to pre-buff. I showed no modifiers but the new windows still showed i was buffed. I tried buffing myself and it worked. It overwrote the timers. The food and drink however do not show up for me in the new buff window. Maybe because I'm using pre-patch stuff?

Old (pre chef change) food and drink will not show.

Wasn't worth the time to code probably, since food is consumed and out fo the game pretty quickly for the most part. Assinging buff icons etc. to dead food woulf be wasted time IMO.
