Diet System

Post by Richard Cypher »

I have been testing out the diet system and I have noticed something. When my diet is at -4 or -2 constitution I did better in fights and pwned more people and npcs then when I had regular stats. I think that must be a bug or something.

Likely not. You likely just got a few spirals needed to level to where you could parry more or something.

No, likely so. I have my diet at better now and I take more damage now, and that makes no sense. My armor and shields are the same as before. I have the same exact quality.

There's alot of randomness involved in fights. Must have been luck.

I repeat extensive experimentation. I am good at figuring out how things work with weapon combos and armor and other things. there was no luck involved. trust me I know how to level up fast and what works best. The system is buggy.

He isn't joking.

I had my char's diet become -2, and i swear he took much less damage after extensive fights.

There is a char that somehow beat my char in a fight the other day, and his diet was -2 when he managed. Normally he does not.

See trust Matt and me we know what we are talking about, I fought a demon skeleton and it broguth me down to next to no health. When I killed it I drank a food potion and was at -2 con, so I go fight another one and all it got me down too was like half to 2 thirds gone versus only 10% left.

I found it harder to fight a red skeleton when I had -2 constitution. But then again, it was only a few times.

You also do not experiment with armor combinations and weapon combinations and certain ways to kill and stuff like a Power...umm trainer does. Yeah...Power Trainer.

the constitution malus works fine.

If one wants something to fail, then one sees it failing.

Okay Pharse, I just foguth 6 necromancers and about 10 skeletons and 15 mummies and my life never went below 5% with -2 constitution, that makes no sense.

It goes -4?!

My consitution must be -1 then!!!!!!!

And yes I've noticed getting pwnt; Dom took off over half my health in one slash while I wore magical elven armour.

Bah.. the stupid thing is: dishes heal too much hunger; my hunger bar never goes below half and so if I eat fish dishes I throw up. If my hunger bar gets to half, my mana stops regaining so I just eat fish or something to get it up so I can get my mana back but no, that gives me -4 con. Woo.

-4 const malus is crap. It goes from -2 to +2. Const cannot drop below 1.

The problem suggested up there is that if you eat better quality you end up with a slightly more then half full food bar, so if you eat two, you end up feeling sick. (So the 'solution' is taking something which increases them slowly)

I hope this friend plays an Orc. Otherwise please report the bug (the racial features bug should be fixed)

/Edit: @Julius: You get an inform when your Const changes, like "Due to your poor diet your body is weakened"

Don't worry Pharse, he was human, and this was the day before you reported to have fixed the racial bug.
