Harvesting Delay

Aram500

My partner and I have had an issue now for a couple of weeks. or more? when harvesting surveys or nodes. When we press E, the toon just stands looking at the node and will not harvest/pick up untill you move and press E again. Also taking 2 hits or more when collecting ore. Both of us maxed out in in the green CP tree and no problems until recently. Taking so long now to do our survey runs. Any one else having this isssue, or suggestions as to what may be causing this problem. Thanx in advance

Its a new bug, I just spam the button and it gets harvested without the animation.

I also started a thread about the same issue. Hopefully ZoS will pay attention

Noticed this too, I thought it was the Companion that drained interwebz resources.

See, I have seen similar delays in death animations. I fight a couple of crabs, say, and I keep hitting one but nothing happens, turns out is is already dead, but it's HP is still above zero and it still stands there for a moment or two. often just one of the crabs though, not both, so it isn't just lag, I think.

Odd.

Thank you for the reply's. Good to know it is an issue and not us

I've been having this exact same problem.
It makes doing surveys even more of a chore than they already are.

Was this issue ever resolved? I’ve been having problems harvesting since update 32 and was wondering if a solution was in place so I searched and found this (not-quite-dead-enough-to-necro-it) thread. Note: I’m on console (PlayStation) if that makes any difference.

In particular, I seem to have difficulty harvesting when it involves the mining animation - blacksmith and jewelry, though it also seems to happen when I’m hacking away at wood nodes, just less frequently. My character will start the harvest animation, then stop as if interrupted. They don’t resume and the node doesn’t get harvested. I have to re-click the node (sometimes multiple times) before it will work. This is usually when I’ll see NO animation but successfully harvest the node.

The only reliable workaround I’ve come up with is to click the node while still moving my character. If I’m moving FORWARD this method will work reliably - every other direction seems to have the same initial (buggy) results.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Happens often to me on ps5, usually have to grab a different one then try again or walk away and come back. Standing there spamming button never works for me. Toon just stands there in lala land. Sometimes a quick spin then hit again works

I am on PC and I have experienced this as well. It is most noticable when I am going after surveys. I usually have to swap weapons or use a skill or mine a different node and come back to that one.

I’m wondering if this is related to the update to targeting priority in some way. I experience similar buggy behavior with quest objectives.

For example, the burning of items in Brandfire Reformatory (from one of the Fargrave dailies) seems to bug out just like harvesting survey nodes.

I click the cargo/boxes to ignite them but nothing happens. I click again, still nothing. I move slightly and click again. Nothing. I move and click while still moving - the object is lit and the quest tracker updates.

It’s really annoying and I hope it gets fixed soon.

EDIT: autocorrect made “buddy” out of “buggy”

Same here, just on PC. If one node bugs out, I need to grab another and then bugged is harvestable.

I've noticed it too (PC) while doing some surveys lately. I thought it was lag or something, but it kept happening. It's like you described: character targetted at the node, but can't interact with it, and it takes a few button presses for the node to be picked up, sometimes it will be picked up without the animation showing. Could this please be looked at by the team @ZOS_GinaBruno?

I found the quickest way for me to get it to be targetable is to bar swap, then I can harvest

Same issue on PS5 for months.
