Forward Camps graveyard bug

JeffKnight · April 2014

Forward camps are getting hard to deploy. More often than not, you get a "you are too close to a friendly graveyard" error, when there is no forward camp deployed. This is frustrating and more than once tonight stalled out our offensive (Daggerfall) because we couldn't deploy a camp.

On another note, deploying them inside a keep's outer wall seems to not cause this problem. This probably shouldn't be allowed either.

From everyone in PVP that I've talked to, this appears to be an issue only with Daggerfall Covenant Forward Camps. It's happening to the DC in the EU and NA servers and doesn't seem to affect the EP or AD. This is particularly frustrating when we can't use a basic item to help us in the campaign but yet have it used against us. Until the issue can be resolved, the forward camps should be temporarily removed for everyone, in my opinion. I like the idea of the forward camps, but it isn't fair to the DC to have it glitch out and be unable to use it or put down a new one. Please take a look at this issue.

I tried to put my camp down yesterday (DC) When we were attacking AD's Keeps. Kept telling me i was to close to a friendly graveyard, i was no where near any dead players and ended up walking so far away from the keep i just swapped it out for my treb and started sieging instead.

Yep, I've hit this bug many times over the past few weeks. I submit a ticket every time, but others should too.

AD here. I've had the same forward camp in my inventory for a week because I can never deploy it (when I remember I have it), and I always get the same message about being to close to a friendly graveyard. The one time I did get one to deploy I was questing and pretty close to our "home" gates, and decided to give it a whirl. Of course it worked then.

I have a feeling its some bug that when a forward camp is destroyed or "used up" the area it covered gets bugged, keeping you from placing another camp.

This really needs to be fixed.. /bug it every time you see it and maybe it'll get some attention.

If I had to guess, sometime after the release another 4 zones for PvE and fix all the PvE bugs.

i also get this message, while deploing that on exact same position just 1-5 secs after despawning of the first one.

Same issue, unable to deploy camps when no camp is anywhere near or even any camps on the map. Was quite far away from the action as well, got "too close to enemy graveyard". Daggerfall

The error here, is that the deployed camps actually become inaccessible after a set amount of time... 2 minutes?

I've watched a deployed camp disappear from the map, but sit right where we left it.

The health still ticks down, and enemy players do appear to be able to destroy it... but it is completely inaccessible to respawn to after a certain amount of time.

I have seen a camp setup and twenty people spawn at it right away... and a camp where only ten people use it.

Both become inaccessible after a minute or two.

This prevents other camps from being set down within that same area.

I was no where near any camps or where fighting was taking place, like half way to a different keep and still could not place, Nor others that were attempting the same thing.

Hey, all. Thanks for your continued reports on the forward camp bug. Our Dev Team is actively working on a fix for this bug, and we'll push it when we can. When we do push the fix, we'll be sure to include it in our Patch Notes. We know that this is a frustrating issue, and appreciate your patience!

The bug is on already existing camps. On your map you will not see the other camp so it looks clear to put one down, but when it says "too close to friendly graveyard" that means there is already a camp down in the area and it's bugged.

The bug happens randomly - it can be as soon as you put it down, after two people spawn, after 15 people spawn, etc. Enemy players are taking notice as well, they often don't burn camps they notice people aren't spawning at.

It is also not faction exclusive. I play AD and we had 10 out of 12 camps used yesterday bug out on us.

This bug effectively ruins most engagements and has been going on since beta and now almost through the entire first 90 day campaign period (and three months of sub fees).
