Guild Wars 2

Non-stackable food duration is really annoying and fun-killing that I have to keep watch of the timer. I just want to eat the food and ignore it for a very long time.

This would be for open world PvE/WvW since players can just run around and feel immersed with whatever they want without having to upkeep their consumable buffs. Dungeon runners are allowed to waste stacks of food, but then it will be a waste of money because it won’t be money efficient.

Maybe then, there will be a market for food. With this change, there will be a demand for food. If the price of level 70-80 food cost too high, then buy stacks of level 60 food. If that is too high, buy level 50, or 40, 30 , 20, 10 etc etc… It won’t be inconvenient for players to wade through the inventory to find that ononom bar.

Chefs might be a very useful crafting profession other than leveling then.

I support this idea.

Re-posting a thread is against the rules. naming it something different doesn’t make it ok. I have notified a Moderator and I am sure he will merge this with your other thread

Except, what if you decide to change the food you want to eat a few minutes in?
LOL, then you just wasted a ton of food as well. It works both ways!

The solution is simple: Learn to do Nourishment checks.
Sometimes you forget to eat, that is normal – Get over it.

Cooking is already a very fun crafting skill for leveling up, there’s no need to make it into an entire profession.

You want a longer term bonus? Change your gear. Consumables by their nature are meant to be transient and 30 minutes seem very generous (a few foods do have 45 minute buffs; a few potions have 60 minute buffs).

Chef is already a very useful crafting profession. I doubt that stacking food buffs is going to do anything to the food market. People who use consumable buffs already reserve several inventory slots and already buy lower-level buffs to save money, depending on how they want to use the food. Increasing the duration won’t encourage non-consumers to …consume.

Also if you gained the food buff from a tray or feasts it lasts 60 minutes.
