Scout Archive

Early last week I went on a hunting trip into the Squill caves, though I was quite excited by the amount of rifle, pistol, and Scout XP I recieved while working through I ran into a couple problems that really discouraged me. First off I wasn't allowed to throw any traps while moving through the cave. On my first tip through the cave I had been able to throw TONS of traps and basically leveled all the way through my last Trapping skill level. On this particular trip, again about a week ago, I wasn't allowed to throw a single trap. It would light up, occasionally, in my combat queue but then would simply dissapear. No trap loss, no xp gain, nothing, very depressing.

I also noticed last week that I was only harvesting 1 of any given harvest type. 1 meat, 1 hide, 1 bone off of squills, no exceptions while in the cave. Upon leaving the cave and attacking squills in the are I recieved TONS of harvests in all sorts.

Bored last night I made my way to the veermok cave on Naboo. I decided to solo it and see how far in I could get. Extremely excited after one shottingthe veermok scouts I'd snared which were hanging outside the cave, and harvesting some nice stuff I moved into the cave where imediately my harvests dropped off completely.

Again much like the Squill incident, I was getting1 harvest off of every hide type, and was not able to throw a single trap. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem. I just thought I'd check because I think that it's important to make note of. Good luck scouts.

Wild,

The trap thing inside caves is a known bug and I should've put it on my last list. I forgot - thanks for reminding me.

The 1 hide thing was because the server was down and reset - whenever the server goes down and they do a "big" patch, you get a resource shift when it restarts and that's why that happened.

Delta,

this hide thing is still going on within caves... any time I try harvesting in a cave this is what happens... I'm about 90% sure it has nothing to do with a resource shift or even the servers being down. I experienced it before the servers went down, after the servers went down (both with relation to the patch) and even right now as I'm attempting to harvest from the Veermok cave again.

Is anyone else on Wanderhome experiencing this?

Wild,

I think you're right - I think it's something to do with being inside a "structure". These caves are considered structures, as I can't /areatrack inside them.

I was killing huurton's in the Warrren this morning, and I could only lift 1 hide/bone off them.

B

it gets more weird... I kited a klicknick (sp?), which had been spawned in the temple on yavin 4, outafter several poor harvests. Turns out if it followed me out I got the proper harvest amount. I then kited one, which had been spawned outside,into the structure to recieve only 1 harvest unit. Just thought it was worth adding to the description of what must be a bug. I /bugged it but with your record Delta, and the record attached to the numerous bugs I've submitted,I figured bringing it to your attention might be more productive. Good luck, thanks as always.

Caves only drop one unit of resources so the creatures therein can't be static camped for hide/bone/meat.

Personally I think it sucks I mean through us a frickin bone, but from what I've heard over on the ranger forum its intentional
