Camp changes in pub 7? What is TH talking about? The only camping change that I'm aware of is not needing a camp to call pets of vehicles but the way he wrote this makes we wonder if there are more changes to camping on the horizon.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't read too much into it. Simple statements from TH all to often end up picked apart and then wildly blown out of proportion.

Correct. That was one and there were others. You could store pets right before they died and also do things like get into a duel with someone and then whip out a pet and other "suprise!" poke-pet maneuvers.
The other part of this equation is that camps have changed a lot since their original design as well - - that was why Holo thought it would be a good idea to lift the restrictions.
As part of the camp changes, we'll see these in Publish 7. I can't wait

I copied this out of that link....I have a couple of observations.
1) I find it wuite humorous that TH refered to Poke-pets. If I recall **edit** is a forum banned word, inplying that the devs don't care for it...
2) TH's statement on camps was VERY vague...hmmmmm...does that mean a caming revamp, or just that the camp requirement to call a pet is changing then?

I believe that is the only change he's talking about. There are more changes on the horizon for camps, but not in publish 7 (next month) presently.

I thought the vehicle/pet calling was publish 6, not 7. Hewas eithertalking about something else, or it was a simple error.

The pet calling changes are in the publish after next... Not the one tomorrow.

"I believe that is the only change he's talking about."
Actually, I've stated in several previous posts in the forum that there are improvementsin the worksfor camps.
From what I have heard, the developers will be making "some" improvements to camps to compensate for the "loss" of the pet calling requirement. I simply had no idea when those changes were scheduled.
By the sounds of it, we may indeed be seeing some changes in publish 7.

But do you know what they are?
Well, I think we understand if you're not suppose to tell us... we won't tell though

Maybe one of the improvements is the ability to crawl faster while in a Ranger's camp?

ROFL!!
Maybe they'll just fix some bugs... like the "bug" that causes them to repel mobs (sometimes... sorta).
