Last night i was hunting with 2 master CHs and sporadically got 'out of range' messages on my AE stims when the target was well with in range. By well with in range i mean inside 35m. I could switch targets to one right next to, or even further away than the original and have a successful AE heal. This happened several times during the evening.


It seemed to happen more when we were in the forested areas of Dathomir but also happened on the plains and low hills so it might be tied to line of sight. It also only happened when i had pets targeted never when i had other group members targeted but when i switched to another pet the heal would work.


We didn't have much fire power so i was tossing a lot ofpoisons and i never had the problem with AE or single target poisons.


I have done this same type of hunting many times and never had this problem before on any planet or in any terrain. I am MCM/MDoc useing AE Cs.


Wondering if anyone else has seen this problem recently or in the past?

Its a lag/sync issue. Your client says you are X metres away from the target, but the server says you are actually Y - and its what the server says that counts. This affects everyone, not just CMs.

I dont understand why this is the way it is though - the population is lower than it once was (therefore the server load should be lower), but the problems are getting worse. Must be bad coding on SOEs part.

Happened to me now a few times in the last couple of days. And yes it is a bug that costs. Can cost people ther life


I hope whatever is causing this gets fixed. I had to run within 15m last night to throw a ranged E I can normally throw 55m. Ridiculous really.
