Food and Hunger Calculations of New Time Model Discussion

So I swear I've seen hunger and eating and such to be required to survive in CoE (Ie whats the point of weight gain and such)... Correct me if incorrect. Here is a balance question.

The new time model states that 7 real life days, is equal to 1 year / 12 months CoE Days. Now if you do the math, each real life day is 1.7 months or 52ish days if going off 30 days a month average. Also being said, each real life hour is equal to 2.1 days. Now there is thinking how the normal human has to eat. A minimum of a large meal once a day or two smaller depending from person to person.

If realistic, that would mean having to make your character eat 2 or 4 times an hour, or 48 and 96 times over 24 hours. Realistically, it would feel more like we're playing the eating game and not CoE.

Mind you, this would of likely been MUCH worse with 1 year being 4 days, but how do you guys think this will be balanced?

I personally wouldn't mind feeding my character once every couple of hours.

Also another question on the side; Will CoE contain nudity? Haven't heard anything about it (wouldn't surprise me), but then the body weight preview popped up the other day with blurred genitalia. If none by default, then a setting to enable/disable?

I agree that an Inn or Tavern providing passive replenishment of fatigue / hunger / thirst provides a very eloquent and simple way to provide in-game mechanical reason for players to congregate in traditionally a very RP-centric locale. It very naturally fulfills that familiar scene of a populated and busy tavern, but instead of nameless copy-paste NPCs, its filled with players.

Most MMO's have some version of "bank watching" when you're logged in but just talking on VOIP, reading something out of game, or organizing yourself, and players need a place to idle.

I could easily see players of all kinds traveling into a new city and immediately seeking out the nearest tavern to sit down and idle at while their stats replenish and they afk to grab a beer or a snack.

OhOh are you talking of that place around the corner with the red lantern hanging over the door ? sure it's comfortable but not sure you recover from your fatigue... you sure get relieved.

Will that also be hand "cooked"?

As for will there be nudity in game, last I heard, no, there will not be. Which I disagree with, but get. I like all the realism I can get, but it would seriously limit the player base, so damage profits.

Or you can just add a tavern as the first floor of your lab/home. Then every visitor of the tavern can taste your latest invention / poison ; )
