  • Change in the way forage works?

    I've had the forage command tied to my right turn arrow for a long time and this allows me to do a lot of foraging. I also have been intentionally hanging around Lesser Faydark, foraging for Sylvan Berries and Morning Dew, and making sure I hit the right arrow as soon as the forage became available.

    I played early this morning for the first time since yesterday's maintenance, and suddenly, I was getting a message saying something to the effect of "It is too soon for you to forage again" even though the button had de-pressed.

    However, I had to wait just as long to forage again as if it had done a forage. So effectively, I was foraging half as frequently, which made me glum as I make a good living foraging up stuff and selling the bazaar. I ended up trying to pay attention to when the button became available and then I would spin to the left three revolutions before clicking. This seemed to add enough delay so I didn't get the message, but it meant that when I was not actively foraging, I would often accidentally got right and get the message because I was not micro-managing.

    Is this a "fix" they inserted during the maintenance? Is it something that was supposed to happen to me before but never did? Is there a way to make it stop?

    The only difference I can see is that I defeat Ivie Bramblefoot this morning and had the Sylvani Berries in my possession. I highly doubt this would cause my foraging to slow down, but you never know.

    Thanks,

    Happened to me once

    A few weeks ago this happened to me. It *seemed* to be when I "pounced" on the forage key just as it was refreshing, so I make sure to give it a second refreshed, and it hasn't happened again.

      I've been getting that for a while now, if I'm trigger happy on the key. Like Albur said, just wait a second longer and then click it, usually takes care of the problem.

        I used to get that a lot when weilding my foraging machete. I don't get it any more. At least not that I've noticed.

          I spent a LOT of time last night foraging while farming pelts and didn't get the message once... I do not have it tied to anything though; I just click the hotbutton. Have you tried un-mapping the key for a bit and then re-mapping it? IF something changed internally, there might be some sort of conflict with "old" things. (Purely a shot in the dark.)

              I get this from time to time, I assumed it was a lag thing. Incredibly annoying though.

                Knock on Wood -- it seems to have abated

                After getting this message for several days, suddenly it seems to have stopped happening. Whether it was lag or not, I can't say. And just to confound things, I also finally reached level 21, so that my forage skill got off of 105, where it had been placed for the entirety of the problem days. So my hope is that whatever it was, it won't happen again, and I can go back to LFay and gether up some Morning Dew for funding my frivolity.

                  Nice use of alliteration.
