Animations for Drinking/Eating

[Nuria]

If I may link something which was posted earlier:

@Ren

Renjimaru: Rob are healing values being adjusted/tweaked -inhouse at all? is there any debate on the subject or its not really something on the radar?

@Renjimaru they are constantly being looked at. For example, we’ve removed the (frankly insane) healing from the Feasts

@Renjimaru the intention is also to make potions stop healing once you take damage so it doesn’t turn into a “whomever has the most aloe wins” type of fight. Having said that, last time I implemented that, I broke the game. Because religious reasons. No clue why

As I think that might be a fair solution, maybe it wont work out as effective as intended. (That range issue with non connecting hits combined with healing being spammed even more to keep it up. Though I never used crafted poison…)
Might give another boost to daggers (bleeding, so that was meant by that in the last stream) and set arrows.

@Caco

I had a lot of encounters where I could be able to make a run, climb, heal then come back (Archer build), the map is full of obstacles you can use.

Hm. The only agressive players I encountered until now always had a bow on them. That said I was eighter in not that nice terrain (very open) or south of newbie river, trying to use trees as cover, which didnt work. (Didnt have any healing then…) Thus using environment as obstacles never worked out for me.

@Caco

Im not asking for reality in the game, Im asking to a solution on a matter that a lot of people are complaining, Overpower healing! And this not only can be solved with Animations but give more depth to the game aswell.

And why did you then not ask for lowering the strenght of healing, if healing is OP?

@Caco

or are you that kind of crazy ppl that prefers the old boring combat?

N.O. W.A.Y !!111!
(Though I liked old bow more. With holding and releasing an arrow myself. But that is the only thing.)

@Caco

In singleplayer this can be a different situation tho, it can be tuned down to meet one player style. Or you just could take Thralls with you.

That is why an serveroption for this kind of NPC would be wonderful. I dont want to be forced to install some mod to archieve that. As for the tank tanking those enemies, they would need healing as well. Black keep is easy as that one moves that slow.

@Caco

besides nerf the healing numbers

And yet I never read that from you. Only going on about animations and a wish for some cooldown. (which you backed off of, as animation should block spamming heal already) Last question from my side (as I already said above): Should we have to stand still during that animation? Would we be able to sprint or dodge?

What do you think about what Ren shared on that other topic?
Maybe that idea with animation would supplement it? (Like 2 seconds long, as healing will be canceled on taken hit? (and probably when you sprint/climb as well?))
