Yes, it's 2 am, and yes, there's a good possibility that this isn't going to come out coherently the first time, but I will say this.
Bread Tins need to be STACKABLE, or else the possibility of loss-on-failure needs to be REMOVED.
Here is why:
-- The ONLY thing I see Bread Tins used for is....... making bread. One Clump of Dough, one BT. Combine. Hope for Bread. Only one recipie.
-- If the Bread combine fails, there is a small chance that the Bread will be burnt and the BT will be lost. No other baking item (Pot, Pie Tin, Muffin Tin, etc) sports this 'feature', this possibility for loss.
-- Yes, the Heavy Pie Crock is consumed upon combine. However, this is a consistant thing, and HPC are stackable.
-- Small personal peeve, not necessarily for significant include in arguement: to make a BT is a difficult thing to do for a multi-tradeskiller who can freqently count her free bank AND inventory slots on the fingers of one hand. Water + 2 Small Ore = Metal Bits; store. Small Clay + Ceramic Lining Sketch + Water = Unfired CL, + Quality FS = CL; store. MB + CL + BT mold + Water = BT, I hope. Store it. Right now, I'm so paranoid that I'm taking up 6 precious slots with BTs.
-- The whole point of the spit is so someone can take a portable oven with them into the 'wild', plus a small amount of preperatory materials, and make food on the fly. If you're out there with one BT, and it dies.... where are you?? Stinking Outta Luck, till you go to Freeport or Jaggedpine or Kelethin (the only places really available to a Sullon Good with no expansions) and go through the train of combines to get a new one.
-- And, even within the context of the game, what is a BT, anyway? A flat sheet of metel upon which I bake a clump of dough over a fire in my gorgeous portable spit (when's the last time I've said I love my spit?) until it turns into a pretty Loaf of Bread. Why in the name of Tunare is a mere Bread Tin not stackable in the first place?
-- Also, within the context of the game, say you are out in the wild, making bread on your spit... if your BT dies because of one mere Loaf of Bread, how large and sturdy was it to begin with? I can understand a Pot not stacking; they are kind of large. The Pie and Muffin Tins I don't quite understand (seems rather stackable to me...), but I can accept them not stacking, as there is not this fear of loss. But a measley little BT that can die and doesn't stack.... this is the incongruity.
CONCLUSION:
Either make the Bread Tins stackable, thus acknowledging their quasi-pitiful I-Might-Die condition, or justify their un-stackability, and make them stronger and able to withstand a failed combine and the dreaded Burnt Loaf of Bread.
======================
Now, having said all that...
How does Verant receive feedback? Do I have a snowball's chance in the Oasis of Marr of being heard, much less acknowledged? If I started a petition at one of those online places, will I/'we' be shunned, or heeded? Would anyone sign it anyway? ^_^
C'mon, fellow bakers... band together. If it weren't 2:30 am, I could probably come up with some half-baked witty comment/pun to insert here... oh, I just did, didn't I.
