Scout Archive

I've noticed that today every mob I've harvested, they've all been "skinny" and yeild a single resource. Especially odd since I'm C-Harvesting +55... Anyone else notice this or am I bugged? For the last week everything's been nice and fat and yields a fair number of resources. Seems like today that's not the case.

Oh my god, this has got to be a stealth nerf... I just found a medium creature, yeilded like 7 hides... I can't even make enough resources to keep a camp up, this is just wrong.

Haven't had any problems all day. Got the usual 27 resources off of peko-pekos and so on.

Has to be a bug. Logged out for 15 minutes, when I came back in everything was back to normal. Weird.

I noticed this as well. Everything seemed to be "skinny" all the time.

Same thing has been happening to me. Something like 75% of the creatures I harvest for hides are skinny and give one hide. :\

It's definitely a bug guys, and the problem really shines when you try and log out (for instance i've a pet group bug currently) you really don't log out... you only LD in game. Soooooo when you think you're trying to clear the bug you're only coming back into it again. I just tried logging out again for 15 minutes and I still have the same bug. Sigh... sometimes the feel of "beta" comes into my mind... alot latetly =/

I have serious reservations that it's a nerf. I've seen in the forums that other people are having the same issue I am, which is hide. I usually hunt paralopes because of their nice wooly hide, and every single one now gives only 1 hide. If I do bone or meat they creature jumps back up to medium. But the hide always remain one at a time.

Maybe it has something to do with your character over harvesting one type or something, but I doubt it, and also why would they not tell us of this new "feature."

Finally, while it could be a nerf, it's going to end up hurting a lot more people then just scouts. How can a craftsman make clothes or armor if the people who supply them with that material can only pull one resource at a time. The costs of armor and clothing will shoot through the roof and possibly cripple some classes.

I think we'd all feel a bit better about it if they would just tell us what has happened (if bug/feature) instead of leaving us out here in the cold this weekend.

It's not a bug people. It's a Ninja nerf/balance. I've also been getting those 'skinny' animals on occasion. It didn't last long, just depends on what you're killing. For me, it lasted only 1 nest. The next nest I went to, the harvesting was back to normal. It only makes sense that not all animals would be 'medium sized' or 'fat and healthy'.

However, logging out when you're in the wilderness does leave you ingame for several minutes. It says so in the manual. I don't think it's a problem, other than when trying to clear a server-side bug, of course. Just tonight a groupmate logged out in the cantina, and his avatar remained in the game for about 10-15 minutes, all the while LD. Had we been out in the wild, I'm sure he'd be killed in that time.
