Hello,
Recently i have expected very long waiting time untill i trap a caravan or a player. As it wasnt enough with one hour wait time after you die, now you also have to wait for about 15-30 mins to catch someone aswell?
Why i wonder, i have done 390 succesfull ambushes and up to about 370 ambushes it only happend a few times that i didnt catch anyone while ambushing, usually happened quite fast.
But the last 20 succesfull and unsuccesfull ambushes it takes very long to catch anything, is it just randomly bad luck or what? I usually have to set an ambush 2-3 times untill i catch something now. Anyone experienced similar things? |
| where did you set the ambush? |
Random places, now more often between yellow lake - east bay, or great capital - east bay since i guess traffic of players should be biggest there.
Anyhow, i guess there is the same ammount of caravans moving around everywhere since i rarely get players at level 9 anyway. |

| Would be nice to get soe kind of explanation because this is just really booring.... starting my third ambush now, maybe i catch some in the next 10 mins :S |
i got an information (dunno where and when) that a caravan can be ambushed if at the same time there is a player move between the place, so if nobody travel in that place, no caravans either. Please anyone confirm whether this is true or not.
Confirming =)
for Hatred:
Try setting ambushes EB-MC for a change... Also keep in mind on-line number - at times when it's low finding a victim can be difficult. |
Alright, thanks Shebali, all i needed to know, however i do set my ambushes there aswell but it takes time anyway.
I find it really bad that people on the other side of the world has to have a disadvantage when it comes to thieving. Not all of us live in europe :( |
| Starting third attempt between EB-MC... |
| I'm setting my ambushes in EB-YL, and they get started pretty quickly. But I guess I have it easier being lvl 7^^ |
So you are saying that its level dependant aswell, which means a lvl 9 for me has to travel between the locations to trigger a caravan?
If thats how the system works i must say its really rotten.
So when kusika was the first lvl 11 he wasnt even able to do ambushes (i know people say you cant complete them at his level anyway, but a part from that, he wasnt even able to?) |

Now that you ask it, I'm not quite sure.. but it's only logical - otherwise you'd get an ambush every time some level 1 tries out that weired thingie in the lower right corner of the map :) |
| for Hatred: I have had same experience as you. I can set an ambush and wait ages to find a caravan. Recently i havent ambushed a level 9. The last player i ambushed was Chrisl and that was only because i was talking to him outside the game and he mentioned he was travelling so i set ambush. |
