/examine never seems to work properly for me on diseased bocatts. I get all of the information up to vunerabilities, but then it is blank, no aggressive/stalker , hide/meat, or creature level or special attacks or anything else. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, either with the diseased bocatts or anything else?

I have tried to use /examine of the diseased bocatts on differents spawns in different areas of the planet and during different play sessions, didn't work properly on any of the times i've tried it.

I have seen this behavior with a lot of different creatures. I think it is server lag more than a specific creature (I suppose it could be a database issue with specific creatures though).

If you see this happening, try targetting the creature then hitting the radial key (~). Leave it up for 5-10 seconds, then try examining again. This forces the mob to synch, although you may need to do it a few times.

With babies and as a creature handler it is easy to tell when this has worked because the tame option will show. With anything else you have to guess when it is ready to examine.

I have seen some creatures where I get no information. I thought it was something to do with the fact I hadn't killed on since a patch. I killed a couple and harvested and still no information. Maybe this is a bug or somethig to put on the gameplay list.

"Maybe this is a bug or somethig to put on the gameplay list."

Actually there already is an item on the listregarding missing data in the /examine window.

• I will rewrite it a bit to make it more generic, so that it encompasses the problems you are all seeing.
