Negate cancels food buffs? heard a rumor

Stinkur

someone was saying ESO says its intended? if so that's def a deal breaker for subscribing.....

Cody

Well tbh it will only be for 8 or so seconds, and can be CC broke and avoided.

does not excuse it though.

Panda244

It's never canceled food buffs before, but if it does in 1.6, so long as it's temporary I'll approve. It basically got nerfed to uselessness.

Stinkur

People were saying on live today it wipes it, you have to re-eat food to get food buff back....

oh, its like that....

hmm... hopefully that is just a rumor some idiot troll started up.

Father

Let me get this stright...it wipes food buff from enemies or it does so every single entity inside the circle LoL

HiP

i think they mean that the caster gets his food buff removed ? i guess it's for the morph that is supposed to buff your stats. so instead it debuffs you ? :'D

Stinkur

ya I hope it was a troll today, but they were saying ESO responded working as intended. So less food becomes super super easy and cheap to get Negate removing food buff would be the worse thing ever

Ffastyl

Ok...? This is an odd rumor. Can a group test this on PTS? /bug it if it is true, and either way report your findings here for us to see. I am from the NA megaserver, not using a Template, so I do not have my character to confirm/deny the rumor.

If this is true on the current 1.5 build then spread the word and work around until 1.6 comes along and fixes it.
But it is hard to believe such a bug could occur on the 1.5 build so late in its cycle and without any modifications to the build for nearly a month.

Before getting upset I would test this. Could be a troll you all are feeding.

B2P and F2P will attract more trolls so be prepared for these types of misleading post.

Exstazik

it should cancel all buffs+10% of character exp (CP) because it's called "negate" not "DIspel"

Father

Wow this is the straw that broke the camel's back ??? sorcerers gonna snap for this haha

Stinkur

ya hope its just a bug and a troll, but if its intended to make us have a bazillion food to cover cost of negate im done.... lol

SoulScream

Confirmed, negate gives you the munchies.

Stinkur

serious? negate removes food buffs and you have to eat another to regain buff?

please be more specific,
does it remove your food buff?
is this intended by zenimax, and thus forcing us to purchase more foods VIA crown shop?
does this effect sorcerers only or is this to all races hit by negate?

Joejudas

This is weird. This worries me for all the other buffs. Does Blazing Sheild make the food buffs go away because it gives you health. -____-

I could see that before the food revamp. But now I think your being silly.

But don't recall any one at ZoS saying that. Besides that wouldn't make any sense either.

Armitas

So on live we can't drink potions while silenced, on pts we can't eat or drink while silenced....What does negate have against food?

Please fix this, and potions too. Being silenced should have no effect on your ability to consume herbs or hold on to the contents of your stomach. Negate also prevents you from packing up a siege. I guess when you pack up a siege you are uttering a magic shrinking spell.

Negates will remove food buffs. confirmed. It will also prevent you from using any pots for ten minutes.

Max2497

Does the target or the caster lose the food buff?

madangrypally

Can we get a confirmation that this is a bug and not intended. A class ability should not remove food/drink buffs.

Stinkur

that's just awesome! provisioning just got a boost and be the richest people ever in game!

Actually no. If this stays most people wont even bother with food. Thus making provisioning much worse overall.

Max2497

Does it remove drink buffs? Maybe it's their way of getting us to drink more. If it's an issue that buffs don't stack, this could be happening with other skills and it's not been discovered yet.

SoulScream

I'll drink a six pack to that!

Stinkur

I already drink enough while playing, drunken pvp nights! Maybe ESO can supply us liquor in real life specially if they go live with this patch.

This will more than likely hit the live server this way. They would have to postpone 1.6 yet again which is doubtful. It will kill the sale of food/drink buffs causing a major hit to the economy. The next few weeks should be really interesting to see what happens in the world of ESO....

Robbmrp

ZOS just stated in another post there will be no more updates prior to update 6 going to live. If this is indeed happening it will get pushed for sure to the live server.

Storm1732

I really hope this doesn't go live. For an ultimate that takes about 2 minutes to generate being able to wipe out something that is supposed to last 1 to 2 hours is ridiculous. Especially for the purple recipes that cost ingredients that you can only obtain from your hireling. ZOS please clarify what's going on.

madangrypally

ZoS needs to clarify if this is a bug or intentional.
