So i'm out looking for people to kill. Stumble across a couple of blues working a treasure map. I kill them. Get on another char to remove trap, and i get an error that says "this is not your chest".
Really? So people can treasure hunt in fel, and there isn't anything I can loot from the chest? so they can evaluate items in the chest and loot with insurance cursor up?
Why even put them in fel. What a waste.
let them pick it and remove trap first. I believe then you can loot it.
But you did PvP ( I use that term very loosely because alls you really are is a PKer) and you are mad that you can not steal the chest. Must have been so hard to kill a T-Hunter, probably just a little easier than killing a PvMer doing a champ spawn.
Once they pick the lock and remove the trap you can loot it, before then it's the property of the treasure hunter.
Sure you can raid treasure maps in Fel, you just need better timing.
I dug one myself yesterday, a guy on top of the castle next to the spot watched me. I, in turn, watched him. I knew if he had hostile intentions he could come down after I got it untrapped and I'd be toast. Luckily for me he stayed where he was.
Edit: After I posted this I decided I'd better check that it was still true. I dug a fel supply map, unlocked it, untrapped it and went home. Switched accounts.
My second character has just removed a skeleton key from the chest, receiving the notice that "taking someone's treasure is a criminal offence'. She can empty it, but she can't remove the chest. I'm typing this while I wait for the crim tag to wear off so she can go home.
You can raid Fel T-Maps but as has been mentioned, you have to time it right. Once the box is open it’s fair game, before that the treasure hunter is afforded some protections. That’s legacy functionality we did not change.
I've been digging my way through the felucca supply maps I got from Khaldun boxes. I've seen other characters exactly twice. You have ALWAYS been able to loot other people's treasure chests in fel, and I have dug mountains of them. I've only ever been pk'd on them once - on Siege.
I'm digging supply because I hope to find some mapmaker's glasses before I tackle the higher ones in my Davies Locker.
Felucca is a big facet, I doubt anyone would have the computing power to ghost cam all of it. It's not like camping lost lands champ spawns where there are a limited number. Even when spots were static there were 200 spots on each facet, tram and fel. Now there are many, many more.
Even if I where to get raided, it won't stop me from visiting Felucca and digging up treasure. What I said about Felucca is true and talk about ghost cams and evil lurking at every corner is just paranoia and really silly. Maybe in 2000, sure, but nowadays...
I thought I've heard it all but now we are getting preemptive whines about big bad scary Fel
hehe only from one person.
I'm not planning to stop digging there, neither is LeBaiton.
