Feast of Delectable Birthday Cake does not apply the nourishment boon.

[quake.9023]

Since today´s update, that is 7/Nov/2023, the Feast of Delectable Birthday Cake does not apply the nourishment boon.

I can drop the feast and interact with the cakes as usual. Once I click on it, there is a familiar 2-minute cooldown. However, the nourishment boon does not apply.

None of my 14+ toons can get the nourishment boon, regardles of the instance and maps in PvE and WvW.

It seems to be a global issue: I asked players in different PvE maps and, to my knowledge, every single one had the same issue.

It works provided you don't already have a nourishment buff or the malnourished debuff. It may be a step towards preventing us accidentally eating the ubiquitous cake and cancelling the effects of more expensive foods.

This needs fixed by next patch.

It's complete kitten chow right now because we can't keep our cake buff going in OW content. It needs to provide nourishment, remove malnourished, and be able to refresh cake duration when used. I'm glad they've "made things nice" for folks using posh food buffs but right now the rest of us are being punished for it. If they implement it properly then everything should be fine. So please fix it, Anet.

(Can't believe I've had to finally activate my forum side account over them breaking this with lack of testing.)

We need more people raising this issue to ANET. Needs a fix ASAP, should not have been messed with in the first place.
