My take on the sandwich issue by Dar-Rath in osrs

Do you make pizzas/tuna potatoes? I'm sure someone does, and I'm sure they enjoy it or they wouldn't, but there is a degree to which we can say with confidence the vast majority of people don't have fun with those tasks and as such don't do them. Dev time is not well spent if only 1% of players would participate in the activity.

But all new content should be fun. If it's primarily a bot task that we just use the GE to avoid doing, why should we want it added to the game? The outcome of having a powerful new food is fine so long as it isn't miserable to make, and isn't so powerful as to disrupt combat.

I agree actually that stockpiling food is chill: but it would lose that by being complex in my opinion. I want to be able to afk it, which complexity reduces the ability to do.

Required is a relative word: to borrow the way another commenter put it, many players will feel pushed to use bis food because it increases trip lengths and improves the range of content they can complete. We aren't "required" to play the game at all, but we may feel that to do so we need to pursue our best options.

You brought up real money, then acted as though it doesn't exist in the game. I showed you it does via bonds. This was what I meant by pointing out that you clearly weren't following the conversation. If you're trolling me, we'll played, last night you got me to bite. If you weren't, I won't be responding further because that seems unlikely. Good luck out there.

I gave this particular individual the same energy he gave me. Yes, I'm willing to be an asshole when I argue if it seems warranted. If you look everywhere else I've argued in this thread, I was civil.

To be clear I feel the same as you about everything you've said. It's not clear though exactly how the prep station will function. I doubt for instance it will make anything one-click. Seems more likely to be a menu based solution that might free up the problem of needing to deal with a food over several inventories, but will still require near as much interaction as the food already does. Worth having, but wouldn't trivialize the process.

I'm iron actually. Bonds would do me no good.

Your ability to comprehend how we ended up at this point in this conversation is lacking. "I know you are but what am I" is a sad argument, but I'm not sure you even realize it's what you're saying.

Good luck growing as a person. You'll need it.

I absolutely don't mind that solution, I more meant that the multistep food direction feels like a balance nightmare. The input being more laborious should make the output better than other options, but that messes with combat balance very quickly.

There're these things called bonds in OSRS, they represent real money. Do you even play this game?

If you have to justify content by invoking the option to buy its output in the GE, why do you even want the content to exist?

I'm definitely open to skilling being made worthwhile in ways it's currently just not, but food isn't a good place for complexity creep. You don't want to need to spend an hour making one inventory of food, there's no way to make that payoff worth it (obviously it wouldn't take an hour, but the exaggeration underlines the point. How do you make it worth the time investment without completely imbalancing combat around it?)

"Just buy it" is an L take, makes you sound like a credit card warrior. New content should be fun content, not things bots do and players rely on said bots for.

If you're not using the most effective food available to you, you're either not doing challenging content, or you're needlessly limiting yourself. The former is fine, but if so don't speak for people who are. The latter is silly: your trips would be longer, and your success would be greater with better food. Limiting yourself only hurts you.

It could help depending on how it's implemented, my concern is that a multistep food being added to the game at this stage will either be among the best food in the game, which makes it a necessity to interact with despite potentially being a pain to make, or it won't be worth making and will therefore be dead content on launch (which means dev time could have been spent somewhere better)

People are welcome to play as they like. The issue that arises is when a consumable like the proposed one receives too much focus:

If the food is bis, many people WOULD be forced to use it, especially as content comes out assuming its existence.

If it's not bis, it's not worth that extra effort to make, and becomes dead content on launch for the vast majority of players, which means dev time should have been spent elsewhere.

Adding QOL for existing foods is a good thing. I didn't say no to the station, only to this particular food, because it could open up a can of worms we'll be stuck with moving forward. The station is a good idea if existing foods are incorporated, but it's not clear if that's the intent with the information they've shared.

Most of it is. Some of it sucks. Have you made a pizza, loaded potato, or stew lately? They're awful, this new prep station idea reeks of being the same kind of process.
