Scout Archive

Like many scouts/rangers I use a macro key to harvest from animals. Sometimes you hit the wrong button though. if a creature doesn't have that resource, you're SOL, because you can't use a different command.

• Using /harvestCreature to harvest a creature resource that doesn't exist (like bones from a Piket) will no longer cause you to be unable to harvest a legitimate resource from that creature. You will also get a message saying the creature doesn't have the resource you wanted to harvest.

Score one for the good guys. By which I mean scout and ranger.

Yup - Calc, myself and Owen have been complaining about that bug for a while.

That's probably not a good idea.

Name him Brisc instead.

Hey, my harvesting droid is named N'Raas.

ok so how about that "already been harvested" indicator we have been asking for.

Nothing worse than lying in a pile of dead bols constantly targeting them to harvest and getting the "there is nothing more on the creature" message.

Holy crapzorz, how long have you guys been asking for a fix for this? When I saw this in the patch notes had to make a visit :-D

This has been a problem since pretty much day one.

LoL very weird that it is listed under crafting, however.

At one time, it may have been in beta, critters that were harvested poofed when you harvested them.

Of course, now that any member of the group can harvest if they have scout skills, this would not be practical, but I really do have problems sorting through corpses to get harvests. Just last week my group ran into a wild gaping spider lair on Dath, we killed bazillions of them, and many of them insisted on dying on the exact same spot which meant that harvesting became a serious pain. Isn't there some sort of command that allows you to tab through corpses?

The real problem with this "fix" is that it does the reverse of what it needs. Instead of giving these creatures all of the resources it fixes the other side of the issue. Pickets, Quenkers, Thunes ect have no bones?! Well then fencers should have no problem popping the air bladders thats holding there bodies up.

Oh and Hostile Thune Mothers are still bugged and cant be harvested at all. This has been there for a very long time and I bugged it a bunch of times.

Pretty much that long.

Green is working on some bug fixes for long term stuff while they're coding the CU.
