So I logged in, went to Winds of Muse and tried harvesting again. I use q80 gentle harvesting stanzas and lake specialization on extraction. I'm loving my findings so far!
First attempt: Source mode 5, 5 mats of q80
Second attempt: Source mode 3, 5 mats of q80 (nodes life was low)
Third attempt: Source mode 1..3..and 4, 5 mats q80, source exploded once
Ok, so im loving it. Using gentle harvesting now is *very* gentle on the node..I've yet to try aggressive but im happy, I can solo again YAY!
Btw im lvl 71 harvesting, and getting 1500xp for 5 mats of q80. Pretty decent!

I have not logged on today, but yesterday was a blast. I love the new patch. Nothing like getting kicked around all over the place by wild animals. I enjoy the challenge. Previously I wandered outside of town and had no worries, it was too easy. Now as I get to the gates of the city I pause and consider the dangers far more. I say "Bring it on Baby" make it even tougher.
While I agree that the mini patch is a huge improvement, I think that the combat is still to hard. I went out to try and work off the DP I earned last night (alot, 100k and I get 20k per death =P) . I was fighing scowling gingos, and the rare growling, what I did notice was that I was getting hit for 64(120) alot, but there were quite a few times when I would take a big shot for 124, oftentimes several times in a row. BTW I am level 43 fight, with 960hp and wearing QL 50 heavy armor. In any event, when I was able to solo allright I would be able to kill one gingo (3 levels above me) and then have to rest for 5-10 mins in order to get my HP back up to max, because I needed it ALL to fight one gingo. If anything went wrong, I missed one to many times, or a much lower level buddy joined the gingo I would certinaly die. I logged off when my DP hit 173k. I think this is a big step in the right direction, however it's not there and I don't feel the incentinve to try and work that DP off, because every attempt just earned me more DP. I really love this game, I think the art and designs is/are in-freakin-credible, the story, the world it's all GREAT, however I just don't see myself logging back in anytime soon, I mean thanks for the good shot dev's, I'm glad harvest is fixed, but combat is still at least a "little" umbalanced.
[edit] That gingo, DP aside would have garnerd 2000ish xp [edit]
YAY!
