Thread: What am i doing wrong?
When did this first start? I'll do some experimenting on it tonight. Last I saw it was working, causing group members to burst run for about 5 seconds or so. Generally, if they're not already moving, they're not going to notice it before it wears off.
Ok I'm going nuts trying totame mereks. Last night I killed the initial spawn and milked a lair until a blood-stained merek baby popped. It aggrod so I ran and got out of range easily - way out of range from the lair. I turned and targetted the baby then started moving in 87m, 86m, 85m then poof the baby vanishes. I return to the lair and the spawn is 3 adults includinga blood-stained. I start over and the exact same thing happens again - baby, aggro, run,vanish. Anyone else had this happen or know why it happens?
Ihad no pet out at the time and I didn't shoot the thing. I really didn't want the blood-stained anyway but I want to figure out what is going on before I start again.

Not doing anything wrong... thats just the way it is. Once you get a ceratin distance away the lair de-spawns. Then when you go back the lair respawns like you weren't even there.
Sucks... but thats the way it is. Try using threaten shot to send the baby scattering back to the lair.
That makes sense - crap.
As for taking mask scent off due to the aggro from breaking mask scent - that seems to be fixed from the last patch.I had one instance where mask scent broke and then I had immediate aggro but the aggro droppedand the attack stopped before shots were fired. Lately as long as I stand still after mask scent breaks I get no aggro.
My problem is I get aggro from shooting the lair while the baby spawns - I stop shooting as soon as anything spawns but I think lag is causing me not to stop fast enough. The only way I have found around this is to shoot 3 or 4 times and then stop and wait a few secs then repeat.

Just shoot the lair a couple times, don't keep shooting. Wait a few minutes see if anything spawns, then shoot a couple more times...rinse and repeat.
You can still get aggro, even if you're taming without MS on. It's a percentage "roll" apparently. It does seem to help to turn it off for taming though, overall.
I tried fishing yesterday, but it didn't work. I foraged and found some bugs. I opened the pole and tried to drag the jar of bugs into it but nothing happened. Is there some trick to this that I'm missing? Or is this a bug?

Bugs or bait? That jar of bugs may be food, see if "Eat" is on the radial menu. If it is, you got you some yummy bugs. Bait will say bait, and you can't eat it.
Fishing, boring, but possibly worth it to the BEs
