I reported the problem in Klients about 4 minutes after the server was up, and I was told origionallly that it was intended to be that way, about 6 minutes later the channel was flooded with complaints, to the point there was an apology about 11 minutes after the server reboot.
You see I dont understand the complacency of some people in this thread.
Digging is painfull and boring and a crap grind, its not enjoyable, its not theraputic, its a nessesary evil.
It sort of worked you could max out your dig and use the last tick or so to regen focus whilst sitting, which was enough if your stanzas were perfect to continue with no down time, now due to this stoopid mis code I now get about 180 XP less per node, as I cannot regen for last tick and so have to adjust my stanza to suit this mistake.
In a word "Pissed"
Reverse the damn patch, I wouldnt have called it a patch I would have called it a puncture.

I wouldn't put it like that but I agree, this needs a fix and preferably soon.

So around comes thursday again, I've held off for this long but I must join in on the protest.
If you can't fix the damn thing it's about time we had it patched back to it's previous state. It should of been an immediate reversal in the first place tbh. >.>

digging is wonderful and enjoyable and my favorite thing so dont assume not everyone likes it. Yes people that sit down during a dig havent got good techniques, but thats not the point really, you shouldnt have to to dig.
Please roll this back if you cant fix it, 2 weeks is too long. The only real problem is sitting down, the rest of the temp inventory changes are understandable.

umm if you have time to sit during your dig to regen so that you can get some more mats then in my opinion your not looking at the wider picture. the most efective way of digging is with no time and running out of focus just as the timer hits 0. yes you may get less xp per dig and less mats per dig but it will be way faster. i have found that diggin a lower land as a 250 digger i can start my digg off at ql 30 with max gentle speed and max harm rate. then half way through switch to same action but with max quality. this is still working up to ql 210. i pull 16 mats and have time to dig 4-5 spots still. dont' think xp per source think xp per hour
the only time i have ever wanted to sit mid dig is when i've just spawned and have raced to get some sup mats and not had my self heal up in time. damn those vorax
feel free to pm me ingame and i'd be more than happy to suggest some alternate ways of digging. i cahnge the way i dig all the time to suit my needs, whims and for variety.

Aye have to agree with you sash, digging is best part of the game
but then maybe we are odd
, plus that little method of digging works up to Q230
only need to drop one gentle rate to have it go up to Q250 ; )
Thats it, im gonna head home and dig some

I came back to game for the digging and harvest. There was no point to making the changes they did to the inventory and its obvious that it wasn't a good thing and not many want it to stay. The old system worked just fine. Put it back to the way it was and I actually might log in to dig some.
Ps. to those bashing those who sit down/ run / heal/ etc while digging, just because we don't dig your way doesn't mean that our way is wrong. What if they dug a source that only had 12 mats in it and they wish to sit and regen from the prospect? should we lose our mats for that? no. Changing it was just plain stupid and was effort that was focused on the wrong part of the game (there are soooooooo many other things they could have put that effort into. If it was uninentional, then its been way too long without them fixing it). The old system let the non-sitters do their thing and the sitters do theirs.... it worked and shouldn't have been changed.

sorry didn't mean to come across as bashing. i agree loosing mats when amps are equiped to heal is damn annoying. i was just trying to help and offer advice about more effecient digging. however, a small note: when the timer runs to 0 your focus returns to the point it was at before the dig starts so sitting to regen focus from prospect will do nothing mid dig. i personally use a small self heal (400 or so) just after i prospect so that i start and end the dig with full focus.
