I just came over to post this!
Harvesting / Resources
The penalty for harvesting while in a group has been removed and replaced with a 20% harvesting bonus when harvesting while in a group.
Creatures will now yield more milk after being successfully milked.
Its been a bountiful season. The success chances of getting mollusks and crustaceans while shellfish harvesting has been increased. Expect to see higher yields from your shellfish harvesting!
Searching a creature lair will have a higher chance of finding eggs as well as a lower chance of finding nothing or finding a jar of bugs. You might also want to try searching the lair again; there might be a chance you missed something!
Increased the amount of resources spawned, so that rare resources will be slightly more common.
bout time!

I know a few Rangers that are not happy about this. I like the idea. Its becoming "job" to gather resources. Ypu can drop a Harv. down and play the game and get 300-400k of good resources. It takes sometimes days to 20k of meat, hide, and bones..unless its from Rancors

Hmm, very nice. Should make groups hunts more of an option. As it is with the reduction and trying an organize a group its usually more efficient (and less boring) to hunt solo.

The Rangers are unhappy about the fact that the 20% bonus for any player grouped is a slap in their face, professionally speaking. I tend to agree. They are happy about the removal of the group penalty, and the increased yield on Eggs and Seafood, but unhappy over the "free checker" for anyone in a group. I see and understand their point, and I think we should support them on this issue.

I want BEs to clone players and sell them as npc templates.

Wish they had told us this before offering us 30k of any available resources. I took fish, and I'm sure many others took milk or eggs, because of how difficult it is to gather large amounts of these. Now they just made it easier.
I'm glad for the changes, just wish they could have coordinated things a little better. One hand doesn't seem to know what the other is saying.

I didn't see anything about this change being removed - Could you let us know where you saw that?
Thanks
