This is another thing on my list of Food QOL changes/additions even though I like the system which is to give the foods some indication of how long it will take as you preview it. I think a lot of the inherent friction with players is as they eat a sirloin platter or crab stuffed mushroom or fruit pie for buffs midfight possibly they don’t know what the cooldown is in that [10, 25] second interval that we know exists.
What I mean is don’t just show the cooldown once the food is consumed, show what the cooldown is as they’re scrolling through their food that way mid fight in tense situations they can decide if the timer is worth it for the heals/bonuses.
