WHERE HAS ALL THE COLUMBINE GONE!?
Bayezid
✭✭
Ever since patch 1.1.2, the infamous Craglorn patch, the columbine drop rate has decreased so much that i have not been able to find one anywhere!
I have searched low level areas yet i cannot find the damn Columbine!
Is it just me or is this affecting everyone else?

Bayezid✭✭I have this feeling the bots not only teleport but they fly away with them with super speed.
The bot problem in this mmo is just killing me!Edited by Bayezid on June 2, 2014 12:30AM5 -
makreth✭✭✭✭✭I met new stronger and advanced bots. These new highly advanced superheroic bots don't need superspeed anymore, they just vanish and appear anywhere on map. God-likeEdited by makreth on June 2, 2014 12:34AM2 -

SK1TZ0FR3N1K✭✭✭Just got a stack, yes 100, over the last 2 hours running around by the college area in Auridine(sp).

Vanathi✭✭✭I find it all the time. Realise that's not a helpful response, but I'm also not actively looking for it. I've had issues with finding cotton. NA server. And I actually saw ZERO bots today which had me boggling.
Off topic, but which also brings to mind I NEVER get heavy armor or weapons from chests if I am on a toon that uses those items. Which naturally is my main. So my lowbies find them EVERY SINGLE TIME. Which is stupid. Please ffs at least make chests random."M'aiq was told to stay away from Oldgate. This confused him. M'aiq remembers when it was called Gate." M'aiq The Liar0 -

Innocente✭✭✭✭Actually, I find more now than I did pre-patch. But I think the early zones (1-10) have been reduced. And, that is where most of the bots hang out as well.0 -

I was wondering what the heck happened when the resource vanished in front of me right when I was about to harvest it!

Was it north of the college area where all the other ingredients are found?
Seriously though, why are there so many bots in the beginning of this MMO? It was never like this in the start of other MMOs i played!0 -

This can also be phasing bugs, the only places I have seen this lately is in towns while disappearing resources was far more common on lower levels.

Add that underground bots are easy to catch, just being underground is prof of hacking so you can ban without looking for bot behavior.
yes they exist but phasing bugs is probably more common.Grinding just make you go in circles.

Marcusstratus✭✭✭I've got one toon who does alchemy so I do a lot of gathering. Whenever I get to an alchemy station it always seems like I've got wormwood, water hyacinth, blue entaloma, and luminous russela coming out my ears.... everything else seems rather rare. In spite of seeing fewer bots around than I used to, I agree I'm also seeing less columbine along with several other useful flowers. It could just be a fluke, but I figured I'd chime in anyways. It certainly feels like the distribution is less balanced now.0 -

The reason its not that easy:
The server gets player location information from the client.
Client tells the server its in a certain spot.
Server believes client.
Server isnt designed to handle player movement. Too much load. This was a bad practice.
Hackers feed false location info into memory so the server thinks youre in a legitimate location but you actually arent.
Hard to detect and ban that when they don't even process the information server side.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I got a Columbine and a Mountain Flower at my favourite place in the Alik'r Desert this morning. Just one though. Never seem to have more than 5 of anything before I use them all. Don't know how anyone could have a stack of 100. The only thing I have 100 or more of is the crafting item for Bosmer style - bone.Shunrr's Skooma Oasis - The Movie. A housing video like no other ...

Erlindur✭✭✭I don't know if they actually nerfed the the spawn rates of some flowers but I think that the problem is partially of our own making (including myself). Let me explain.
Ever since I maxed my alchemy, I've been somewhat selective on the flowers I pick up. Especially when questing and with a semi full inventory, I only gather certain flowers (yes, Columbine, Mountain Flower and Bugloss, I'm talking about you).
So, imagine an area that has 10 flower spawn points and columbine is on the spawn list with 30% chance. At first, let's say 3/10 are columbines. If I only pick them and not the others, when those 3 points respawn, we end up with 1 columbine. If I pick that one on my way back to the quest giver, there are no columbines left.
Edit: The problem was less apparent a month ago, because when we where leveling our alchemy, me and lots of others, gathered everything. /Edit.
I know there are dedicated people that gather everything but if you happen to farm besides me, I'm the one who drops the chances.
Maybe we need dedicated crafting material bags and bank spaces.
