Thread: Old Bug? New Bug? (Harvest first = destroyed items)

Hey all,

I've been gone from the game for a while so I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not. I went back through the forum pages to see if I could find any mentions of it, but either it hasn't been mentioned or it's too old for me to find.

I was slaughtering Rancors today for meat. After harvesting one, I got the system message (paraphrasing) "one or more resource containers was not acessed". I already know to, and had been regularly checking the rancors for normal loot, which I tried on this rancor. I got about six lines of "Rue looted %TU from an enraged rancor". Puzzled, I opened my inventory. Nothing new. I tried doing this "harvest first, then loot" procedure a few more times with the same results.

Obviously it's not gamebreaking since I can just remember to check for loot before I harvest from now on, but is this a known issue? Think I'll end up with a combination of 20 rancor hides/teeth next time the server restarts?

Any chance you were in a group and it went to someone else as the master looter?

I was grouped only with my harvesting droid. I guess I should check his inventory to make sure.

This happened to me on Yavin - turned out my inventory was full. Check yours, that might be the case.

Hmm..well not full, but I think you may have found it. I only had 4 spaces left, so perhaps that was the cause. Would have been nice if it had given me 4 of them, instead of poofing all 6. Of course, would have been nice if it had warned me in the first place, but I digress.

Looks like its the system message that is buged with the %TU in there. I make it a point to /bug at least one messed up text string a day. A well placed sytem message can prevent many CSR tickets so if they haven't noticed this case they might want to know about it.

Looks like what happened is %TU sould have been the name of the loot, but you got nothing so no name.

You get a message if you harvest and don't have room. "One or more resource containers where left on the corpse" or something like that. At least you get the idea from that message. If you make room and then loot you get the resource.
