Currently I have a novice ranger camp that has been up for 7 hrs 26 min and wondering if this is normal. With the scout camps, they would disappear after a time. This one doesn't seem ready to go away. Is this normal for ranger camps?

Thanks,
Gabriel

that is weird.

its never happened to me yet.but then again i always disband it before i leave

to get the survival exp right away.its been awhile since i just left a camp to disband

itself,that was back when i had no idea our camps had a terminal to all that for you lol.

Back in beta, it used to be when you got booted off, you would get back online and you would get the wilderness xp. Very handy for setting up a camp at the end of the night and going to bed. Now it seems like if the camp doesn't disband itself before you get booted, you don't get the xp when you come back online. Shame that kinda went that way.

I've never timed it exactly, but it seems like my camps never last more than one hour. SEVEN sure seems odd --- I'd notice if mind lasted that long.

The camps had terminals, then they took em out for a while, for whatever reason. They put them back in few weeks before beta ended. Wierd.

When I was a scout, my camps would last at least 40 min. before I disbanded. Occasionally I would get booted out of camp around 30 min. and then loose all experience points, which was very frustrating. Since becoming a ranger I have had my camp out for 50 minutes while I and others healed up, but I have never just left it standing. Well I shouldn't say that, when I was a novice scout at first I would run off and leave the camp, and it would eventually disband it for me when I got so far away. I also still got the experience points.

I know this doesn't answer your question completely but I have never just left a camp standing except when I went to log off until I realized they didn't give you even the points you had accrued before exiting the game. Now I just take the camp down and exit.

There really doesn't seem to be any hard or fast rules with camping time limits. I've gotten kicked after 2 hours before, but..... Last week I was drinking heavily while playing. I set up a camp and passed out on the couch. When I finally woke up I check the terminal at it had been up for 11hr 55min.

Well my first generation camp macro was made around the fact that i timed my scout camps at exactly 1hour before it would poof. My macro had me standing pausing 10min sitting pausing 10min for total of 80mins then loggin me off. Since ive become a ranger though and i have been grouping alot more and i haventuse my macroyet but i might start up again with the /ui macro instead. So if the ranger camps do last that long then ill stick to the scout ones cause i know how long they last

I've tested the same novice ranger camp and it's auto-disbanded after a certain amount of time. Looks like the one that I had up for 8 hrs was a bug. I also only received 700 xp for it when it was used for various parties, healing and over 15 visitors.

Right now I'm testing to see if the bug exists only when a camp is built near another structure. The bugged camp was right outside of some player buildings. Other camps tested that worked fine were well out in the wilderness. Not sure if there is a corolation, just testing it as a possibility.

Last night I was able to get 5 first level Ranger Camps (the ones you get with Novice Ranger) to fire off in perfect succession with a

/pause 5000;

between each

/ui action toolbarSlotxx;

At /pause 4000; I was noticing that it was missing some camp fire off actions, so I bumped it to 5000; and this seems to have given enough time for the camp to auto-disband.
