[Resolved] R58 - low encounter resources?

So no reason to gather until Monday when they can fix it, I guess.
fun

 

There were only two nodes on the upper floor in Graff this morning. Boo!

 

There are reasons to gather, just not the possibility of gathering.

 

There were some missing in the Epitaph, too. But I still found them in the bottom of Hilt.

 

I really hope it's a bug and not a negative choice of change

 

I was in the lower part of Upper Tiers last night and also noticed the ore spawns seemed a bit odd. Not sure exactly though.

 

Port did increase yield of granite per node but why not increase yield according to meticulous lvl.
Actualy u get more exp and granite by abborting mining then expecting meticulous... this is a game design problem that never been looked at.

 

If that is what they did, it is a bad decision.

 

Its surely a bug, Just managed to find time to drop into Elysium. No silver or any ore nodes at all, totally empty. Its broken. Should be a quick fix I imagine on the server side, but requires an on duty programmer and maybe a weekday.

 

'Patch finished. Must now go drink beer. <check status of patch>? No..must go drink beer....'

 

Bug entered, #62137

EDIT: This is now resolved as of build 842.

 

Where do we find the Bug reports and then can follow their progress - this game is heavily dependent on the resource gathering and crafting system and if resource respawn is broken so is a primary aspect of the game!

Late Edit: I note that in-town animals (sheep, chickens, cows, etc) respawn as expected.

 

Port uses a bugtracking system called jira which to my understanding is not publically visible in any way.

 

So the only meaningful way we can attempt to stay abreast of this "major critical bug" is to post in a thread like this and hope when an update to Bug: #62137 is made that any and all threads with this noted within will have an update?!?

Frankly I am surprised this is not a major bulletin on the forums front page, even as a banner, it would save a lot of wasted effort and time for many as the game is highly dependent on resource farming and crafting and yet we have to search through the forums to find any notification and then note it is players who have initiated the inquiry process!

 

@BoldEagle easiest is to read the patch notes after each update.

 

Do they make you come into work on a weekend to do overtime when something breaks? Let them have their weekends. They don't exactly have a lot of people working there now either. Maybe if we had that "50,000 regular players", they could afford to have people that work on the weekends.

 

ore nodes seam to be working in ulifiem but thats open non instance i assume the rest the open areas are working also

 

I was in The Epitaph about an hour ago and the copper nodes there behaved normally. It is possible that this was a back-end ninja patch, so you might not see it documented until the next client release.

 

Yup.... those guys could use some slack.....
They work hard.
And that's comin' from a guy who gives them a fair amount of s**t from time to time.

 

Naa, still broke. Probably a fairly quick back end fix Monday, so its a fighting day!
