Scout Archive

Foraging and dancing may seem to have very little in common, but just hear me out.

I'm a scout on one server and a dancer in another, and I've noticed a slightly annoying "bug" (for lack of a better term). I call it the "running while standing still" bug.

For example, let's say that I'm running along out in the wild and I decide I want to stop and forage. I come to a halt and type /forage. I'm informed that I can't forage right now and that I can't forage while running. I try typing /forage again. I receive the same two messages. I type it a third time with the same result. It usually takes three to five attempts before I can do so.

The same thing happens when I first run into a cantina. I hit my start dance hot-key, only to be informed I can't dance while running.

Is this something with lag, and can something be done about it? LikeI said, this is a minor issue, but I'm just curious.

Rims,

It's lag. The best way around it is to stop for a second, run a step forward, then run back a step, and it should sort itself out.

It's an annoyance, for sure, but luckily one that we can work around pretty easily.

Cycling /kneel does it for me, as well. I've pretty much come to conclusion that the survey/waypoint bug stems from this issue, and kneeling before surveying has cut down (not eliminated) that problem.

Try kneeling and then standing back up before you begin foraging or dancing,
