I don’t see a “feedback” or suggestion box so I am guessing there isn’t one and if there is I am just blind but in a dead game like SWTOR you have this ability baked in by default vanilla and each class has a specific animation that occurs when using this ability
In a AAA multimillion dollar game all you get is a lazy cooking animation where you character slams down a fire; burns an empty frying pan and then licks their hand. Does Blizzard have any plans to make maybe racial or class specific recup? I know there is alot of other stuff people would rather them work on but this and the fact you can’t use it in ranked I don’t see the point of it even existing. Food isn’t exactly hard to come by.
Its just a little thing I noticed and its crazy how good little things SWTOR did right yet it was abandoned and put into maintenance mode by EA

Recuperate is overpowered in casual PvP.
I can’t self-heal on my mage without specific cooldowns and abilities, and Recuperate is much faster healing than eating food itself.
But then again, it’s casual PvP so any and all consumables are also allowed- there’s basically no rules.
You can’t use Recuperate in Rated.
And yeah, I wish it wasn’t cooking-related, because now it just feels kinda weird I have a button to heal that involves me cooking food but doesn’t use any items.
It’s more arcade-video-gamey than RPG-feeling, imho.
Personally, I liked First Aid more.
It made more sense from an RPG perspective.
Maybe I’d like Recuperate more if it used a bandage animation instead of cooking.

I actually love it. I hope its permanent and theyre not just toying with my damned emotions…again.

No, but I spend a lot of time getting mage food on my characters…and you log out for a bit and you lose it.
I hate having to find relevant food all the time if I go that route instead of mage food.
This thing is perfect…it doesnt matter what level my character is, it works relevant to my total health.
What I do hope though, is that this isnt their indirect way of telling us that theyre now removing cooking like they did first aid.

I didnt really find it useful until I was on my Outlaw Rogue. It really helped a ton.

i really hope not. I’d much rather they use their time on things that affect gameplay

It’s actually embarrassingly bad lol. There’s no food like you said. It’s bugged on my Dreanie, there’s a piece of paper that floats in the animation

I had a HORRIBLE graphical glitch that went on for months lol…and I ran it and it straightened right up

don’t worry this isn’t SWTOR and there is actually a full staff. This would be something the animation team could take a look at. You know the animation team who just delivered that horrible gmod Arathi custcene

To be fair bioware spent $24 million on what would eventually become a flop and end up a free to play a game with tons of micro transactions. Blizzard has a lot more money than that unfortunately their shareholders are too busy building swimming pools so we don’t have time to add cool animations.
It should be Brann telling you that you look a bit rough and then throws down a campfire.
While the Regeneratin’ racial for Zandalari already seemed quite useless with the recent 50% healing nerf, became even more useless as Recuperate offers a full 100% heal with no CD.
And it doesn’t restore power/mana, like SWTOR does.
It’s half worthless.
This is false. The game wasn’t abandoned, it still gets updates, still has seasons, still gets new content and still has around 4,000ish players.

I’ve got an idea for Vulpera. Be a pretty cool animation.
Forsaken already have a racial Recuperate. It’s called Cannibalism.
Speaking of…
Cannibalism is also rendered even more useless than it already was with just its hard requirement of a specific type of corpse
I think you need more things to fill out your day.

i wondered if they did it that way to make it so mage food and other foods arent entirely irrelevant.
Mana is so nearly useless half the time anyway, depending on what spec youre playing.
