Guild Wars 2

Are there any plans for adding Mystic Forge feast recipes for the food that you can get from the Molten Facility recipes? There’s a couple I’d like to make for when my guild does their events.

My own guess is no. They haven’t made feast recipes for any of the limited time event recipes. For instance ice cream from Wintersday or the various glazed recipes dependent on candy corn glaze from Halloween.

My thoughts for their reason are that;

1) It would be unfair for folks and new guilds etc. buying the game after the event when special ingredients are no longer there. That is less true for the Molten recipes which I think took all standard ingredients just in larger amounts.
2) The special occasion recipes have longer durations than other food and when a feast is created it doubles the duration. They(Arena Net) seem comfortable with food buffs lasting an hour or less, probably for balance reasons. The Halloween recipes in feast form would be 1.5 hours and the Molten recipes would be 2 hours in feast form. If they limit them to an hour in length it sort of nerfs the recipes value gain as feasts.

Those reasons aside I’d have no problem with them being 1 hour in feast form, but I’m sure other folks would complain. I find the ability of a feast to feed a large group of folks is it’s main advantage not it’s increased duration, which is STILL very nice.

Yeah, I’d be fine with a 1-hour buff limit. Especially since I agree that the real point of the feast is the mass buffing, not the buff duration.
