I think food should be in the game, but not as a requirement to survive. I think it would be fun to have food in the game that did small things such as made you pass gas, or make you say different things while just standing around or running or whatever. Maybe, just maybe some food gives a small buff, but that would be pushing it because then it achieves the "advantage" phase and at that point, nobody would care what else it did, only that it gave them 12 more health or whatever.
Food is good, but i absolutely hate it for reducing downtime, just takes up space that could be used for sumin allot more enjoyable.
i want this game to be fast. I think one of the main reasons i play GW is you leave a fight and 20 seconds later your back in the fight without any worries, cept maybe a skill recharging.
another reason i liked gw was big fights, it wasnt wow-esc were i would fight a bird 1v1, go down to about 10% hp and sit and eat.
eating should purely be for roleplaying, or a lil sumin special, like getting drunk, passing gas or going temporarily insane :P
so yes i think they should be ingame, no i dont think it should be to reduce downtime, or give buffs. and if they werent in game i would deeply miss em.
ya i agree with the drunk for dwarves and definatly mad cap shrooms (im a night goblin player ) but the wow downtime food isnt really a good idea, i always would sell my food in wow and chose to instead have longer fights with no mana then sit there eating food for 30 seconds. i think the food should still have effect, like drunk being kinda like nerage, you do and take more dmg, then mad caps could even be the same theing, have a different food for each race, maybe warpstones for chaos(since there are no skaven to give them to) and some posh drink/food for elves.

If you really want that whole feeling of being around the campfire with your group, having a short break and eating...
The "You are feeling very hungry" system is really not the way to go. It would be much more fun just adding food emotes to the game.
/eatfood kebab
/holdfood kebab
steak
fish
bread
/holddrink winebottle
/drink wineglass
ale
water
waterlake (kind of looks like you crouch down and wash your face, so when you use it near a lake...)
If you really wanna go out there, have an NPC which sells a campfire kit. when you set it, new emotes are avaliable:
/cook kebab
steak
fish
You get the main idea. Yes for eating food, No for Hunger Stat.
I think it'll be more for fun/humor, personally.
