Make sips at more than 91% stamina only waste water

[vatas]

Regardless how much stamina you actually get, sip of water always burns the 20 energy (base cost, reduced by water quality.) This means drinking at 91% or above stamina, you waste energy.

This results in constant waste of energy if you use the default auto-drink. In PvP chase meta, this makes custom auto-drink that stops at 91% or more mandatory for high-level play.

To be clear, if you take a sip at 99% stamina, currently you spend base 20 energy to restore single point of stamina. If this suggestion would be implemented, you would only spend 2.

I now realize people would still use custom drink scripts to save up water to get every little bit of advantage they can (albeit getting more water while fleeing is easier than getting more energy.)

Still, I think this would be a big general improvement.

Drinking scripts people are using aren't nearly as complicated as you think they are, but this is low key a lot more impactful than it sounds. If this game were polished instead of broken systems on top of broken systems on top of broken systems this would've been changed a decade ago. Alas, we live in the timeline where there isn't even a drink keybind in vanilla.

i get an advise from a pvp player do not restore stamina to 100%, because last sip its a waste of time and energy. Looks like not much people know about it

[MadNomad]

it should also use ten times less water for ten times lower percentage of stamina restored
it should be proportional

inb4 this mechanic is added and you can no longer drink grapejuice/wine/beer/weissbeer/tea/applejuice/mead/cider/brandy/milk/pearjuice/perry/calvados(lol wtf is calvados?) without running circles inside your village.
which would be ironic cause they give energy lmao but still

Entering slightly convoluted territory, have drink and sip work like suggested in OP, add "gulp" and "chug" on non-water drinks that ignore the the mechanics to conserve drink. Chug could also consume the drink much faster, addressing this.

I've heard of that wonderful mechanic

[shubla]

I think its a good idea. Could only work for water. Realistically most people drink water often, not other liquids so it doesn't matter much if other liquids don't work like this or something (if devs think that not being able to generalize is good reason not to implement this)

[MadNomad]

wtf is calvados?

ROB wiki says it is alcohol and distilled cider
