Crafting / Harvesting

* There will no longer be a penalty to harvesting while in a group. Instead, there will now be a 20% harvesting bonus if you are in a group and at least one group member is within 64m of you when you harvest. If there is a Ranger present in your group and is within 64m of you, the group harvesting bonus will be 30% for you when you harvest. If there is a Master Ranger present in your group and is within 64m of you, the group harvesting bonus will be 40%.







!!!!!!LAST!!!!



*cheer* - this is very good news indeed! Thanks devs!

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Started this game in August 03. Left the game in June 04. Just came back and leveling up a new ranger on Intrepid. It is great that I am in the game to actually witness the Ranger Revamp.

Not to rain on any parades, but when you're on a long, looong hunt (ie. like a whole shift of wooly hide), how many rangers actually AREN'T solo? Just curious, because I was 90% of the time, unless a guildy was bored or needed help grinding scout.

This is the greatest case of false advertising I've seen since I sued the movie The Never Ending Story.

Do you know how bad you have to screw up to get computer nerds to leave a Star Wars game?

Calc, imagine you work for me and I pay you $20 for the job of work. I decide am well pleased and say am giving you a 20% bonus.

Now, are you expecting $20+$20 (no, that's a 100% bonus) , or what I'm intending giving you, $20+20% of $20.

One of us is expecting $40, the others got $24 to hand over.


QFE . The best part is, we are arguing, and we aren't even the ones who are confused, BUT you were arguing that people were confused and we needed a dev to clarifiy. I was simply pointing out that there was no confusing statement anywhere!

Yes, Rangers are insane.

Sorry Xinea but its a step backwards atm.


In this form everyone benefits except the master ranger, imo this is wrong as this is a group bonus. Ill try my hardest to get this fixed asap.

How can it be a step back when it promotes grouping with Rangers to get harvesting bonus... That was better than the first alternative where of everybody received a 20% bonus (which I am not very happy about).


Am I missing something? (Just answer "yes" or "no" and I'll spend some hours researching.)

yes but a few have.


Say if i have 19 non-ranger group members with me in range. They get 40% bonus, we only get 20%.


Everyone gets the bonus from the ranger but the ranger


What this means is that when we get normal group harvests (20%) the others who are not even rangers will be getting 40% if around you. Worse than the original concept in my eyes. The number one problem was that people who dont spend as many skill points as us are still getting the same % increase as we would get in group. Now it a big mess because they have changes it so in the same situation (in a group with only you as the master ranger) everyone will get more bonus % than you, even though you spent all those skill points in harvesting.
