Scout Archive

It's a bug. A corpse is supposed to be harvested off 3 times in a group, one for hide, one for bone, one for meat.

So bug it. A hundred times, if you feel like it. Harvesting is a main vein for scouts, we need to get this fixed.

When I group hunt w/ friends we are pretty good about sharing. When I group hunt with strangers met in game, I see how the first few kills go. If people are hogging hides/bone/meat I take out my harvest macros. Harvest macros are really easy.

/harvest hide
/harvest bone
/harvest meat

Assign to a function key and you too can get those harvests done faster than anyone else.

I agree totally. After hunting with a couple groups it was incredibly annoying trying to harvest a creature. They seemed to be harvested before the carcass hit the ground (and of course nobody admits to being the one that did the harvesting). I finally decided to solo until I got all the scouting experience I needed.

Now that I finished explore 4 and hunting 4, I will start grouping again. It's justunfortunate that it came down to that.

Grouping sucks for a novice scout. Never ever have I beenwith a group that have a system for harvesting, its all Ninja looting. I get faster scout XP when soloing, but I want to grp play, I been to Lok and Endor in teams, but harvesting sucks, I bet is great when you get to do it... Theres no rotating system,

IS THERE A OPTION YOU CAN TURN ON AS A GROUPLEADER THATS MAKE HARVESTING ROTATING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR EVEN TELLING TEAM MEMBERS WHOS HARVESTING. IF NOT FOR FUxK`S SAKE MAKE ONE. TEAM PLAY SUCKS BIGTIME FOR MY NOVICE SCOUT.

I think looting got a option that announce for team members whos grabbing the loot...

And now I just stand in the newbie area, killing stuff in 1 shot/1 trapand get 42-50 scout xp each time and use my Probot to help out. Thats fast scout xp for me...but nooooo fun doh

I totally agree...there is nothing more annoying than having to race to every corpse and hope your faster. This causes me to play solo alot as well. I actually made a post on my Galaxy looking for a Non-Scout to run missions with because of this.

Again I totally agree cause thats just what im doing....I want to EXPLORE, take long trips where it is not a competition to see who can find a suitable camping site first!

...a rotating loot system would be Extremely well recievedwith me!

Sounds like what I do. Outside Theed is a killing ground. There isn't a chuba, spineflap, or nuna that gets away. People are nailing them the second they spawn.

I was in a group once where the leader told who could harvest. She was very fair. Each person got a turn.

In order for it to work as it is now that what you have to do.

I'd rather see the hides/bones/meat autosplit like the loot.

Why of why won't the devs get this fixed? Breaks my heart really it does.

I'm guessing most of their time is spent trying to keep the servers up and running. If you play on Intrepid like I do, you know what I mean.

according to the manual.. if you are the group leader, you can turn on notification that tells everyone who harvested last. i think thesettingwas in the/group options

never tried it. and thank god im done with scout xp, that was a **edit**ing boring grind...

I recall, no idea where from now, but each person can harvest one resource each from a slain animal up to the three. hide/bone/meat. Of course this is either bugged or taken out of the game for some gawdawful reason.

And Survival was the MOST BORING skill to raise ever. I have finally finished this. Die without cloning, run to make camp site. Let massive wounds heal naturally in camp. Cuts solo camp time in half almost.
