I did not realize weight lock was both up and down. WHAT? What is the point of cooking now if you are not making heal over time food? Mana food? Dunno.

Without a deep reserve system, cooking, as it is designed (which is efficiently replenishing reserves per hunger,) is the most useless profession! If the truth is that they decided to delete the weight system in game simply because people were eating and going over weight, make it so that the lock makes you stop before you change weights. They can have warnings like before, and if you are gonna lose weight, it can catch a few times then you will go down.

The reserve system could be deeper if they are not going to do Soph. Being able to make lean meals, healthy meals... I am not advocating for food buffs because that is cheezy, but allowing you to keep your character fit, like imagine extra weight classes that you had to eat a certain way to maintain, that had different bonuses. Would be cool also to make it so that you couldn't just roll skeletal or obese and lock it.

In general, that was a huge step back for the game. I saw you guys changed so that horses won't eat everything you feed them, and nobody rage quit (afaik?) so why not consider reverting the reserve system, at least, with some safeguards against accidental weight gain.
