Hey VI!
Hope this note finds you well.
Wanted to let you know about a few issues I've noticed with extended hunting with .23
- MOB corpses last forever. I don't know if any others have noticed this, but on both of my machines (one is XP, the other Vista), hunting mages, archers and UAs, since upgrading from .20 to .23, the corpses of my kills seem to "last longer" (ie, pile up, decay slower, etc, etc). This is 100% repro.
- Double fletching. My archers sometimes end up with an extra 250 arrows in inventory (in addition to the equipped ones). I have no recipe to make this repro, just happens.
- "Excessive mana charge use". On two separate occasions (on a UA on my Vista machine), I've blown through a dozen Massive mana stones in ~30 minutes. I have no recipe for this either (sorry).
And of course, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't make a few requests for your consideration
- "Don't buff self buffing itesm if I can activate them". Big request, and you'll have to decide if it's worth the effort. But, for example, my 210 UA has all his 7s and fights EO with his Paradox Olthoi Katar. This quest Katar has full lvl 7 buffs (which my UA toon can activate), yet I spend time to buff it anyway.
- Use mana stones. It would be great if you could replicate LTX's ability to loot (player definable) "high mana" items (that wouldn't be looted based on any other rule) to sacrifice to mana stones, which in turn could be used to recharge wielded/worn items.
- "Define order/when to use items that have the same benefit, especially if one has a skill check". An example would be if I add both healing kits and wafers to my items list. Ideally, I would use my healing kits until out and then wafers (or even more ideally, use wafers if I was likely to fail to heal). Same for mana charges; use the little guys before the massives that double as my DIs. This may be my error, but I can't find a way to influece vtank's selection (other than not add eg the wafers); things in the Items list get reordered 'alpha descending', so I don't think that's it.
Much <3 to VI for the best Tank available!
