Should there be food in WAR?

in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
I'm not thinking of something you have to do all the time. More like little gimicks you find from time to time. I'm in favor of crazy effects like getting drunk or farting or crazy colors after eating a mushroom. I think small things like that would really add to the game and still be quite "Warhammery". Like drink beer as a dwarf - eat cute little kittens as an orc - eat all kinds of weird stuff as chaos



So what do you think of it?

    Well, you will definatelly need:

    Mad Cap Mushrooms for the Night Goblin Fanatics - us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/orcs/catalog/nightgoblin_fanatics.htm

    Bugman's Brew for the Dwarves - us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/dwarfs/gaming/specialcharacters/bugman.htm

    Chaos/Undead - (do they eat?)

    Usually I'd support for in an MMO but I don't think it fits into Warhammer. The game isn't about eating, it's about killing :P Besides, you're in an army, cult or hoarde, they take care of your food for you. Although, it would be interesting to see what the Chaos Faction would eat. I think if food is included it should be a rare thing. Like, walking through the Empire you come acrost a reastraunt that sells burgers and you notice they give you increased strength. The cook refuses to tell you what they're made of, so you receive an optional quest to check it out. Long story short, it's made from people. That'd be a fun quest.

    Well they could use food to regain HP or Mana used ina certian type of battle or maybe cough bandages cough. to speed up the process and lower your chances of dying.

    Thats not very empire like. Thats more orc/chaos/dark elf/ogre kind of thing. If that would be a quest, the last thing would be you declare him a traitor and kill him.

    It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!

    Im for food. But not as a mandatory substance like EQ where you needed a whole bad of bread before you go questing out for the night. I like the idea some MMO have done where if you craft food, it would give you temporary stat  buff for a set duration. Or even something along the lines of that crazy  food you eat and turn into a pirate or something. ( And im not just saying 'Pirates' because theres conveniently  "Pirates of the Burning Sea" ad on this page)

    Just because it's set in the Empire doesn't mean it isn't Chaos. That's exactly what I was going for. That's why Chaos make the best villians in my opinion, they could be your neighbor, they could be your friend, they could be your relative. You never know. And of course you will kill the cannibal, Chaos or no.

     Actually I could see an imperial doing that... I mean the empire isn't the happy go lucky humans of other mmorpgs...  Much more gritty, would def. work as fun side quest with the games natural dark humor.,

    How about some Warpstone Cheese cake?..... Oh wait Skaven arn't in never mind



    Food's got to be included, stuff stated like the mushrooms and bugmans already would be awsome, somthing warpstoney for chaos, some foods like bread and water probably wont give buffs but food like that stated above and before should, and should just be a little harder to get hold of.



    Food's got to be in, its like a way of life, no stupid burger and chips / fries though!

     A definite no if it's gonna turn out like WoW's food of Min/Maxing your character with food buffs, i'd rather not be obsessed trying to buff myself up and constantly having to skill cooking up , stuff like the belching fire recipe might be okay thou...

    Would suck for goblins...

    cause orcs dont eat dwarfs (they are too tough, and too stringy)

    orcs eat goblins...



    Ha LOOK AT ME PUNY HUMAN I AM A HUGE GOBLIN OF 4 FEET! (for a goblin u see) TREMBLE  AT  THE SIGHT OF ME!



    *snicker*



    WHATS SO FUNNY PUNY HUMAN



    *giggle* there is a tiny orc behind you...

    We don't know how personal healing will work between fights, so I think it's possible that food will be included.  Alcohol is a must-have feature, though.  Nothing like down a pint, then running out to battle with a blurred screen!

    No cooking, though.  As Paul says in one of his videos, the crafting system isn't about harvesting wheat and baking bread.

    Seriously.

    I think there will be food, but I doubt it will be used like it is in WoW, to reduce downtime. I could be very wrong, though.



    My guess is that it will be used mostly just to show off some humor and whatnot (drinking, etc.). I am hoping WAR stays fast-paced and does not rely on sitting down and eating a loaf of bread after each fight, but we shall see.

    I hope that if there is food we do not have to bake it, too.



    As Paul Barnett says:



    "It's no good coming to our game if you're trying to grow wheat. It's no good coming to our game if you want to make pants. It's only worth coming to our game if you want to burn things to the ground, grind things to dust, stand on top of the battlements waving severed heads at people, going 'We're better than you,' in lots of glorious ways."

    the interview video said " no one will make bread or pants, like i said its all about the war effort."

       maybe some potions not food

    Food emotes maybe, but no having food in your inventory/having it affect the gameplay. Great for Roleplaying, not mandatory, and more emotes are never a bad thing.

    /Agree



    tho a limitless bag that has just food would be ok... that way you could have all sorts of interesting things in there... just image orcs and choas! ^^
