Issue:Harvesting

Problem: If you accidently try to harvest a resource a creature does not have (for example, bone from an insect) you will be unable to harvest anything after the error message.

Temporary Solution: None.

Last night, my friend set up camp. For no seeming reason, a flock of vynocks attacked him. The camp was not close to their lair. I had wandered off when this happened to my friend. I returned and healed him from incap. His camp disappeared, with no experience for him. At about the same time, they attacked another bystander, who had not attacked them, and incapped him.

We all laughed about the vynock killing spree.

Cawti,

The 1 unit of resource and thin message occurs when there is a resource turnover (Yes it occurs for animal harvested resources as well). You have to wait for a day or until the servers are reset. (This is linked to other resources as well I think. Crafters can not sample a new resource for 24 hours after turnover or until a server reset).

As for backpack, it is not a ranger related problem. After the major patch, backpacks got broken, but are almost 100% fixed now. Open a CSR ticket through the in game Holocron if you have lost everything in your pack and it has not come back. (Did your pack disappear as well or just the contents? My pack disappeared but is back now that they hotfixed the problem).

Any word on when that Prone Warping bug will be fixed? It is the most annoying bug on this list.

Gronch,

Not yet.

Nite,

What's the bug there?

If he enters combat, he'll lose the camp automatically. If it wasn't up long, he won't get any XP.

If he had maskscent on and the Vy's broke it, they'd aggro on him. If they're aggressive, they could break the camp boundaries, depending on his ability level.

So I'm not sure if that's a bug, or just an odd occurance.

Delta, you commented on someone elses "getting agroed while in a camp" bug, but not mine. I explained what happened in my post, and as best as I can tell, that should not have happened. Remember my skills are master scout, master marksman with pistal, almost with rifle. And a few other skills at level 1, but my combat skills alone put me above that svorrt. They were blue to me.

I have another bug to report that I didn't see here.

Problem: Group Harvesting Doesn't seem to Work. I was out hunting with my brawler friend who has some scout skills. If one of us harvested the other got nothing. We tried this several times, with both him harvesting first and me harvesting first. Either way, the second person got no resources from the creature. Appears the group harvesting is buggy.

Squid,

Camps aren't perfect - so this may or may not have been a bug. I do know that some of the higher Ranger camps are bugged and aren't keeping creatures out - so this may be a bug. Thanks for putting it here.

Group harvesting has NOT been implemented yet - the changes the devs are talking about are ones that have been made internally, but have not been pushed to the live servers yet. They've got an internal Dev server and Test Center. When these changes have been made, they'll be in the Dev notes for the day.

Here's one:

Issue: Trapping

Snare effects dont immediately take effect under cetain circumstances. I've noticed that if a mob is chasing me and I throw a phen dart, it will continue to follow me at full speed for a few meters before it takes full effect. It just maybe how it works but it doesn't explain the next issue. If you change the posture of a creature like using suppression fire and use a phen dart on the creature while its down, when the creature stands up a few seconds later, it will run full speed a few meters before the dart takes effect. This I find weird.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about the resource turnover on the servers. Inoticed that the next time I played that it was back to normal again. Last time I checked my stuff inside the containers was still missing.

1) phecnacine darts. sometimes flying creature don't slow down at all. most recente was an aged lantern bird. but vynocks and rasps do it all the time.

2) Harvesting.

No one else has apparently noticed this, but I am a medic as well so I don't care whether i get meat/hide/bone. However, if you choose just HarvestCreature from the radial menu, it wil NEVER harvest bone. This is aggravating to me as I would like to receive a pretty equal share of the 3 resources

Iwanna,

You must be harvesting a critter that doesn't give bones, like a Krevol or one of those semi-bug things on Tattooine. If the critter doesn't drop bone, you won't get the option to harvest it.

To test this out, go to Naboo and kill some gnorts. If you aren't getting the bone option then, you've got a bug. Otherwise, try a different creature type.

B

no, its ANY animal. if you just choose "harvest resources"then it ALWAYS gives either hide or meat. never bone. i'm up into ranger and CH now, so i've been doing this for about a week and have never gotten a single unit of bone. However, if i choose bone i get bone. but if i let it decide randomly it never picks bone
