Couple of times tonight I tried calling my vehicle (later tried with pets and mounts) in an HTFB and got the 15s delay as if in 'the wild'. Is this a known problem? Something that's just popped up?
Bria server. Naboo, southern edge, near beach. around 4500 -6000

Is it possible that tent went abandoned by combat?
That might be the case.

I've had that happen in lag... It just never registered that I was in a camp, so everything took 15 seconds to call.

I tried calling a pet in a camp last night and it worked as normal. Not sure what is going on.

Also, remember that the effective radius of the camp is smaller than the visual radius of the HTFB. If you are on the edge of the HTFB, your are technically not in the camp.

Really? You learn something new everyday. That would seem to me to be a bit of a bug there Mr Chocalate Lizard guy

Hmm. IIRC I was 'inside' the camp, but I wandered about a bit trying different stuff. (How cool is that? A camp that's big enough to wander about in...)
My next guess is that you were on a server boundary and that messed up the camp's radius. Let me know if it happens again, and give the coords/planet/etc. of where this occurs. Now, I know you aren't using HTFBs for calling vehicles are you?

That would be a waste after all the only true use of an HTFB is for Wedding Receptions

and impressing the newbies around Tatooine too, don't forget... or for that matter, fellow guildies who have only ever done combat template stacking and are even funnier to hear them say "Oh my God dude! That camp is #(*!@* AWESOME. Now find us that Kryat now!!!"

ROFLMAO! Of course I use my HTFB to get my speeder out. THo, thinking about it, by the time I drop camp, drop camp, drop camp and find a place that's far enough away from a nobuid to actually bring the camp up, craft another HTFB, couple of traps, drag out all my pets, fire a quick StimB in my arm, make a camo kit, mount speeder and then head on out on the trail... why the heck am I bothered trying to save myself 15s??
OTOH, I've got a shedload of wilderness XP for the next time I go hang with the Village people.
Oh, and I never disband the camp, just leave it sat there till it phuts out by itself. Hey, might get me 2, 3 extra points...
