Thread: The end of macro sampling?

Last night, I was fooling around with a sampling macro on the Tarquinas server. The macro has a "/sample; /pause 350; /stand; /sit; /pause 180" in it. About a minute or so into the /pause 350, my character stands up and I get a message like "You cannot sample any more. You can sample again in 11 seconds," or something like that. After 11 seconds passes, my character just keeps standing there. If I mannually enter a /sample command, he'll go back to work. If I don't do anything, he'll sit down when the /sit kicks in. Also, when he's sitting during the /pause 180, he sometimes randomly stands up and sits back down again.


Has anybody else seen this? Is this Sony's answer to concerns over macro sampling?

I tried the new sampling last night on Steel. Instead of the usually 4-5k in 6 hours I eneded up with about 3. Its really not that bad. my macro runs for about 8 hours.

This has always worked for me:

/sample;
/pause 840;
/sample;
/pause 840;
/sample;

In the updates you will notice that the sampling rate has been changed from 12seconds to 25 seconds. Additionally, the HAM cost to sampling has increased. YOu will probably need to adjust your macro.

I have similar marco like yours. My character would do what you said. I have been having this problem the second day I use my marco which was early last week. Not sure why it is. I guess it has to do with the timing part. Sometimes if we ran out of action early and caused a premature stand up...I don't know. Still don't have this figure out. With this buggy marco, I can only harvest about 40% compare to what it should if it is running normally like the first day.

I noticed this as well, andI have come to the conclusion that the maybe the macro command doesnt like 3 digit numbers after the pause. I may be wrong on this, but I made a macro the went like this


/sample;


/pause 90;


/stand;


/sit ;


/pause 30;


/stand;


This actually worked out for me. Did everything it was supposed todo.When I used a 100 or higher anywhere in my macro , the macro simply would not work correctly.

It's the end of macro sampling for me. Especially now that I never need to rest. I can sample non-stop since they increased the sample time to 25 seconds.
