AuthorHow does triggering a caravan work now?
Before you could have friends walk some routes, and you'd get caravans. However, now I ask friends to walk the path (of different levels) in the most un-trekked courses of the map, and it doesn't work anymore.

I've even tried hunting other level 13 players, and sometimes, they cross safely without getting caught by my traps (and without having lost to another thief in last 3+ hours)...something that I had NEVER seen before the admins tinkered with the game so much.

Maybe I didn't read something in regards to this?

Cheers,
LS

I don't know about level 13 in particular, but it is a fact that it's not 100% chance that you can ambush, get ambushed, or proc a caravan just because a player is walking the same route. Maybe you never noticed it before because the map was smaller and you do your ambushes during the high traffic times. I normally play during the low traffic times so for me I've experienced 1.5 hour ambush waits (6 ambush tries) many times.
Remember players of the same military clan cant ambush each other, I wonder if this is extended to triggering caravans for others too or not, and if your friends were in LoS or not
I know about the same clan issue...all folks were either A. From another clan, B. No clan or C. A different level.

Used to work just fine before.
