I was just going to link this!

Thanks

Actually, I'm more excited about the areaTrack improvements

I'm going to have to change my macro now LOL.

YAY! I'd like to see what these "proper" levels are. Is it back to what it was before or the intended reduction.

- You must have been just sitting on the Dev Tracker refreshing to post one so fast.

- Can anyone not at work, like myself, check out these changes, and post results versus the live servers?

- I'll check them out whenI get off work, of course... But I'm so impatient.

/cheer, what are the correct levels . Areatrack changes are great!

Cool, glad to hear the harvest change, but like others said, does that mean they are putting it back to what it was before the patch, or making it how the patch was intended to do?

And I'm also very glad to see the changes to area track. Looking forward to /track. Mwuahahaha

NRaas, I think it's only on the TC for now. So we won't be able to test this in game, for a few days.

Guys,

The "correct" levels are the pre-patch solo levels.

The 60% rule is still in place, as far as I know, but the solo levels will be back to their pre-patch levels. This is what I asked for in my email to the devs.

ROFL, I rushed to post theharvestfix so fast, I read it I didn't even see the /areatrack changes.

I'm at work and to pass the time during really slow days I check the boards every 15 min or so. I had just looked at the dev tracker and found no interesting info, so I actually went to the TC board to see if there was anything interesting there. When I saw the update I looked expecting the same old "fixed an exploit" message. When I read the harvest fix was upon us I had to let my fellow rangers know as fast as possible.

On to the /areatrack changes.

• has a much shorter delay in returning results


• ignores pets and vendors

These twomake me very happy! I don't have to hold up my entire group to track anymore, yay!

I Hope it goes into effect tonight!

I dont understand why we can't keep moving to track. Part of tracking is examining your surroundings, not looking right at your feet. I'd like to be able to track while at least walking. Small gripe but indeed, great fixes.

It may be a programming issue. You need to look at a list of things withinZ meters of P(x,y)and ifx and ychanges all the time this could complicate things.

Unlikely. Most changes go into effect in the morning after they restart the servers for maintenance.

Guys,

It's going up on Test Center first. So it should go live either Thursday or Friday.
