ammo packs and rocket/nade launcher refill

[Rahabib]

not sure if it was mentioned anywhere but it seems like refilling rockets and grenade launchers was changed recently (admittedly I haven't played for like 2 weeks until this weekend). But sometimes I can refill, sometimes I cant. Is there a max refill now? If so what number is it?

If its a max refill number, its probably a good thing for the game, just curious because I dont recall seeing that change mentioned in any change logs.

The combination of number of players on for double XP this weekend and the lag from GU04/other srouces meant that things like the operation of ammo packs became very buggy - at one point I had to stand on an ammo pack for 30 seconds before it started reloading me.

So anything you observed just this weekend might well have just been buggy.

No doubt others will correct me if I'm wrong....

I think it has to do with player render distance and the amount of lag and burden it puts to the server. They did increase the render distance on map and that might have something to do with it. Might be some other cause too. It was this way on miller when they were testing out the new render distance. Although I did see someone from SOE say this is different from the miller lag, but who knows.

I think its the same bug as always but lag is causing it to happen more often.

strange, it was never a problem for me until this weekend. But then again, I haven't played for a few weeks and back then Connery was kind of a ghost town.
