Do you like the way some nodes allow only taking some of the items, and thus not respawning

Rune Stones, Alchemy Nodes, Thieves Troves, do not re-spawn unless empty.

I have come across hundreds that have only 1 item in them. Rune Stones with just a TA. Alchemy Nodes with only worms or crawlers. Thieves Troves with only lock picks

So what do you all think?

They should start respawn timer once opened, any item not taken is destoyed as node vanishes.

They should not allow selective taking of items, you take all or none.

    I'm sure its jut people's not collecting the rest of the items. Not the nodes themselves not letting you take them. But yes I think all item in the node should be collected when pressed.

    I'm pretty sure it was confirmed by ZOS that the respawn timer begins as soon as the node is "opened" regardless of whether anything is taken from it.

    I had that problem about a week ago too. Pretty irritating. Oh, it's a unique item so you can't have more than one in your inventory... Well if it's so bloody unique why are there 2 of it in this trove?!? Gah!

    Nodes respawn even if items are left in there. If you're coming up to a partially filled node, it wouldnt have been there at all otherwise.

    Nit that it matters since forum polls didn't actually show what the community thinks, but your poll is slanted and baited make it ut less informative in the end.

    To many answers slightly different and no only the post but also the poll question baits those who choose to respond.

    I just sweep everything when I pass through. Let it all respawn behind for the next player.

    I like this option. Take it all or leave it all. I'd also add that if you leave it all, it should start a respawn timer of about 1 minute before it destroys the node/chest and sets it up to respawn later.

    I do that too. It doesn't make sense to be picky. If I open a flower and there's only a crawler there then it takes no longer to grab the crawler than it does to leave it - I'm already hitting R as soon as it opens.

    To be honest I don't mind finding an area stripped clean, because I know that's what I do myself. Finding it half-stripped, with people competing for each node (that they know about ;) ) is more frustrating.

    Dude, this is misinformation. They do respawn.

    So what do you all think?

    I think you need to check your facts. :smiley:

    Also, when the node despawns, whatever is in there goes away. It does not get added to the next spawn. I think the timer starts when the node is CLOSED, not when it is opened.

    Isn't it a myth that nodes don't respawn if you leave stuff in them?
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.
