Change in foraging

[Rewde]

Ok, is it just me, or did they slip in the foraging nerf in this last set of patches?

What are you talking about? There was no nerf...

What I refer to is this: I have my foraging tied to my movement keys, left arrow for foraging, right for autoinventory. Make 2 simple turns, and the product is in one of my bags. Last night, I was running around various zones, and 3 out of 4 times when I made a left turn, well before the forage button refreshed, I would get the message "you must wait longer before foraging", or something similar to that, and then I would have to wait an additional amount of time before the button would refresh again.

I have had this happen occasionally, perhaps once a week, or less, in the past, but no where near as frequently as it was happening last night.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I think that it's happening more frequently due to increased lag; probably from the anniversary mobs. I've also noticed that sometimes I have to mash the auto-attack key 2, 3, sometimes 4 times before I actually start swinging.

Aye, think it's a lag thing, as I usually see it most whenever I'm lagging badly.

Can't say I am experiencing any lag with my new system... 2.2 processor, 1 gig ram, new vid card with 256 mem.. everything is running very smoothly with clip plane at 25%, even in the bazaar.

Happens to me occaionally especially after a client crash or a LD. I find shutting eq down all the way and reloading fixes it. If not a reboot does.

Theres 2 different, seperate things that people can refer to when they say 'lag'.

1. Video drag, 'chug' or low FPS (frames per second)

Cause: Not enough memory. Crummy video card. Too many applications running. Grimling forest or Wakening lands.

Fix: More memory. Computer upgrades. Burn down trees.

2. Connection lag, high 'ping' times.

Cause: ISP overloaded, poor phone line/cable line.

Fix: Well, there really isnt any. Whine at your ICP/Cable company, and they will fix it... when Tunare joins a biker gang.

'You must wait longer before foraging' is from #2.

DSL. 348k to 1.5m connection. Most times hitting around 1.2m on the connection cycle. But, then again, they did just introduce the DSL into my neighborhood. And, last night, I had no problems whatsoever. Oh well. Whatever the reason, I am sure it will come and go from time to time. No biggie.
