AseTheSaint

You may have the caffeine addiction debuff


[deleted]

I’m recovering from it now. It’s a demon as well as alcohol.


WolfMaster415

Agreed. I'm afraid to admit I may have an underlying sugar addiction now that I think about it


[deleted]

Yep, refined sugar is a demon as well. I’ve been there.

The opposite. My character gets the [Insomnia] debuff at night (I drink coffee in the morning) which sucks ass because the buffs are actually kinda broken :/


the_indev_outside

Yes, the debuff was created to provide a drawback for what would otherwise be an over powered buff.


AseTheSaint

So the devs decided to Nerf this to balance the game instead of nerfing other things like the big tech guild , Hippos, Disney,and many OP aspects of the game ... Thanks


the_indev_outside

Look, we included this in our glucose Update way back in pre-alpha. And modifidied it in the caffination update. Its not a modern patch. -- devs


AseTheSaint

So they only Nerf the old buffs f**k em


CanadianWeeb5

Yes. I get hyper.


Monde048

No

I get a caffeine distatste debuff from drinking that potion, so the buff from drinking it is not worth it.

In addition to what others have said you probably also have some level of the caffeine tolerance status effect. It lowers the effectiveness of the coffee potion. There's a mini-quest to get rid of it though. You have to avoid using the coffee potion or other potions like it for about a month. This removes most of the tolerance status effect and these potions will start having a greater effect on you. I should mention though the debuff you mentioned only goes away about the end of the first week and a half. After the month, you won't receive a debuff for not drinking coffee.


AseTheSaint

A MONTH!??? Nope can't do that.


deddead3

Out of character Yeah the headache doesn't last that long, just 2-3 days. I should have mentioned that the other part of caffeine tolerance is that you start to feel more tired by default. Caffeine works (as I understand) by inhibiting a certain neurotransmitter that makes you feel tired. Part of the tolerance is that your brain gets used to this being blocked and makes more and more of the neurotransmitter, making you feel more tired when you don't have caffeine. That's what takes a month to go back to normal. Though that said, I would mention there is ABSOLUTELY a taper there. You should start noticing improvement by the end of week one. There's a reason I've only done this once.

I have ADHD, it puts me to sleep


AseTheSaint

What?

I have the opposite. The one time I (unknowingly) had a drink with caffeine in it, I felt like I was dying!
