limit certain drinks to one

...so i've noticed that when i munch an herb, the game doesn't ask me if i'd like to eat the whole stack, it just goes ahead and assumes i wouldn't want to waste buffs by eating a whole bunch at once. couldn't this be applied to certain beverages? i'd think it safe to assume, for example, that nobody sets out to drink 24 earthshakers in one go...

  • I was surprised to find out buff times don't add up. Drinking 2 earthshakers should give the buff twice as long as 1 earthshaker.

  • @ Victoria I think that's because the buffer timer bars only account for one buffer. So to get the most of your drink, drink it right as your first bonus wears off.

  • Problem is when you drink 24 by mistake. You can buy / make new ones, but still it is a waste. Most of times you need to drink only one.

  • i agree that it's confusing.  Since I *can* drink 3 drinks at once, I thought it work the way that Victoria suggested.  But instead, it lets me drink multiple while giving me the benefit of just one.  Stoot has said that the quantity picker UI is being worked on.  Who knows, maybe this type of conditional issue is being worked into the problem as well?

  • I'm resurrecting this thread because I think the default "drink all" setting for drinks is only going to penalize noobies.  I haven't done it myself (yet), but it just seems silly.  You almost never want to drink all of your drinks at once, so why make it the default?  Not a major issue, obviously, but probably easy as heck...

  • +1 to this post. Consumables with buffs should not allow you to drink/eat more than one at a time without specifically saying so. And the corollary: You should never be able to eat/drink more than your energy/mood has room for.

    I shouldn't be able to accidentally eat 12 Awesome Stew when I only have room for 600 more energy.

  • In terms of energy and mood, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think the game already prevents you from having more food/drinks than necessary. It will allow you to try to eat/drink it, but will only consume 'till energy/mood is full.

    But I'm with you guys on buffs. If we can't have it like Victoria said, then default should be one.
