Have noticed this bug since classic launch. As a hunter, I often FD and then drink+eat during a fight. I notice that if I reenter combat while eating, I don’t regenerate any health. Mana regeneration while drinking seems to work fine in combat.

They have given up on fixing hunters.

This is vanilla like - you can’t regen health unless you have a restoration potion like trolls blood or a heal while in combat.
Is it though? If you initiate the eating while out of combat, then a mob attacks your pet or a group member and you enter combat, are you supposed to suddenly stop gaining health even though the eating buff is still on you?

Very un vanilla like. Eating/drinking ALWAYS restores your health and mana through the food or beverage. In combat or otherwise. I wonder if this is affecting all classes.

Ya ive noticed this too.
I’ve also noticed my food/drink sometimes just cancels itself for no apparent reason. This seems to happen more with food than with drink though. & no i didnt get distracted - it just happens on its own.
This is how it was in Vanilla. Once eating…if you enter combat through pet, or distance aggro from a party member, you character will stop gaining health. However, drinking will continue as if OOC even when in combat.
Again…this is exactly how it was in Vanilla.

Sucks because you can be put in combat from mobs you havent even tapped. Or flagged combat by nearby players attacking mobs even when not in party with them.
Very vanilla-like.
Water works in combat.
Food does not.
Working as intended, end of thread.
No it is not.

Then provide evidence.
The onus of a bug report is on the person claiming there is a bug.
Find a video of vanilla where someone is in combat and generating hp or a documented patch note.
(Protip: youll be wasting your time).
Stop on this forum with the baseless assertions. Assertions are not an argument.
You’re wrong.
Yes, this is how Vanilla functioned.
The onus is on you to prove we are wrong if you are going to insist we are wrong. Just because there is no video of someone regenerating health while eating in combat doesn’t mean that we aren’t right. Without video evidence of the contrary, your memory of what was 15 years ago is just as good as ours. Your “word” doesn’t hold any more credibility than anyone elses. Now get off your high horse, and get out of this thread, and leave it up to the expert programmers at Blizzard to decide what is right and what is wrong. Ultimately they are the ones that will decide whether to fix a bug, not you. If you are petitioning AGAINST something being fixed, then the onus is on YOU to provide video evidence that they shouldn’t fix it!

Privat server players who never played the original game find “bugs” everywhere. Who would have thought.
Next thing you tell us the quests give too little expierence because you played on a private server (tbc client backport btw).
Ignorance is so bliss. Private server players play using the actual original game client. The only thing changed is the server name in a 1kb text file. Things like how much experience you get are server side and can be changed on private servers, but things like class and pet abilities are built into the reference client itself. These things cannot be changed without recompiling the game client, and private server devs don’t have the ability to do this since they don’t have a source code. Your clear lack of knowledge of topics like game/server architecture invalidate your petty insults.

You are clueless. This “bug” is no bug. Its how the game worked back then. Go back to kronos.
You probably weren’t even born when the game came out.
Ok boomer.
Video proof that regen from food does not continue when flagged for combat
https://youtu.be/wAFdoIStMZI?t=10070
Joana regens while eating to ~98% hp rather quickly. She then enters combat from her pet, and even after remaining seated for 6 additional seconds eating, she does not reach 100% hp. Her regen stops (except for a tiny bit of Troll racial).
To be extremely explicit, you can see her heal for ~20%+ of her health over 4 seconds while not in combat, but after entering combat, over 6 seconds of eating, she only gains 1% (from her Racial)
You can see at the end of this eating segment that after Joana’s pet enters combat putting her in combat, the next tick of healing should heal her for full, but she stops gaining regen. You can see Joana’s behavior throughout the entire 1-60 run that she (he, whatever) generally does not sic his pet on units before his health is at full, but does when his mana is not at full. Why is this? Because it disables regen from food, not water.
The small tick of regen you see is because of her Troll racial. You can see from the previous ticks of food, she should have healed to well over full.
End of this thread.
Please report Mightycow for going into my comments in other threads and harassing me and being outright insanely disrespectful to everyone else in this thread who I have just proven to have been correct.
Please ban all the supporters in this thread for spamming incorrect reports with no merit, simply baseless posts no more substantive than “you’re wrong”.
Entering combat disabled Health Regeneration, which food counts as. The only exception is Troll’s racial. (I am classifying HP5 like from Dire Maul items as a separate mechanic).
Thank you /thread
As I said, stop with the baseless assertions. This forum is filled with god awful players who don’t remember anything or flat out did not play vanilla cough Mightycow cough. Sorry you can’t farm Tribute without food regen when feigning to reset King like every other hunter in the world can. I am a software engineer by career, so yes I know how this works, and by the way, your idea that “health regen from eating” would be a client side mechanic is completely idiotic. I’d expect someone as old as a boomer to use “you probably weren’t even born yet” in an argument to at least have some ounce of education, or at least know the fundamental rules of logic, evidence, and building a case.
In the future, it is the onus of the bug-reporting player to provide evidence.
I as a player of this game want actual proven bugs fixed, which I am sure Blizzard is having a hard time verifying in this forum when 80% of it is trash like Mightycow and that 16… SIXTEEN people liked his posts.
edit: my lord, he’s on Mankrik. Why did I waste my time on a PvE server player.
edit2: While this game is well-documented, I do feel the need to clarify one thing. I’m not saying you can’t make a bug report that is speculation. While this game is very well documented and thousands of videos from actual vanilla are still easily accessible, not all things can necessarily be proven by those w/o access to the “reference client” (if it even exists). My main beef is with all the assertions that people defend to the teeth that are proven wrong time and time again. Also, with eating in combat, there is ample amounts of video evidence out there, so yes, in this case, proof was easily found. It took me less than 10 minutes.

His response in one of the other threads he’s harassing me in. Literally doesn’t know who Joana is.
alright, can’t argue with this level of stupid. Average “vanilla expert” in these forums btw.
16 of you "Like"d this guys comments, giving this thread a gold-highlight for being a high “like-to-post” ratio btw. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

You talk of harassment yet you’re the one slinging around personal attacks and trying to police the forums. I never stated I didn’t know who Joana is, nor did I claim to be an expert on anything. Grow up already. You’re upset because you got a taste of your own medicine.
