I was playing no rest for the wicked when it comes out, and I did return on big breach patch, and one change particularly is something I don’t like… The Hunger limit, it’s soo limiting in every possible way, we must collect ingredients soo we can cook food, f is limited recourse and some combat needs more some less, with old system based in coldown, fights was just longer but we was able go in prepared and done it
My suggestion for it be combine coldown and limit together.
When we eat within the coldown is not down then we use the limit to bypass it, ofc lowering limit to some smaller number for example base 2-3 and with upgrades like 5 also it would make the body armour afix for Inc Hunger limit by 1 make more viable option.
I think it’s not too bad. You start with a limit of five, but with Plague Ichors, you can unlock up to ten foods before leaving combat. I agree that the cooking system could be streamlined, especially in terms of the number of ingredients required, but overall, I think it works quite well.
If you incorporate other ways to sustain your health—such as life leech or a healing rune—it will make a huge difference in how much food you need. So, consider experimenting with that as well.
I’m hoping with the utility rune revamp that the whole system becomes less cumbersome. Having to switch to a utility rune stick is not ideal. That will make food less required, I hope.
Well I m not using food almost ever in endgame but before that when I wanted to doo crucible in HC around lvl 20 the Hunger limit of five felt horrible cuz in fight with echo knight we don’t have extra time use the healing aura, crucible is place where to get more plagued ichors makeing you stucked on basic 5 when we go there. In the end I was forced leave and go again and hope for lifesteal from boons cuz I dint find single bloodstone gem at that time.
The new fast heal is really strong and fixes that problem.
But it made me kinda sad we now have only 2-4 utility slots, cuz there is a lot usfull utility runes and becose we cannot swap them freely for individual situations makeing us kinda stuck with one set.
