Still want to know if the harvest reduction is a bug or not.

I've been reading more posts where people are now speculating that it was a bug. Have you noticed that when you /examine now it no longer has the base value of the hides and meats like it did. Could that be a result of the bug?

I hope to God it's a bug.

I'm getting one unit of bone off giant baz nitches. I used to get 104.

I kid you not, one unit of bone of a level 30 creatuer.

Has to be a bug.

The"oneunit/skinny" harvest thing is a bug that has been in-game since beta. It is a different issue then the overall reduction ofharvestable goods. The "creature is skinny" switches from mob to mob with no type of pattern. Server resets ussually fix the creature that are producing 1 unit, but of course another creature somewhere else will now only give 1 unit. The overall harvest reduction would be; Baz nitch give 104 bone before patch, baz nitch gives 60 bone to each scout/ranger in a group after patch. A solo hunter after the patch should get 104 bone, but is harvesting 60, like he is in a group.

The skinny creature only giving one resource isn't a bug (well, not exactly anyway). It happend when that resource is shifting. If you were there the day before, the creature was probably giving a different type of bone (or hide or meat). When it shifts, you get one of the new with the sknny message. The next day they should be fat and healthy and giving the new reduced number of bones.

I understand. I was just trying to point out that the "skinny bug" is not the what the original poster was talking about.

Guys,

Looks like they answered.

And one thing I always need to force myself to remember is that they are on Pacific time - not Eastern time, so when I'm getting home and playing (on a good night) they're still at the office.
