Shorter mining range on HB 1.9.5.7?

[zim79]

Hi,

I just downloaded HB 1.9.5.7 and I'm running a private mining profile.

The settings are:

Loot radius 100
Ground mount farming mode

I find that it often skips mining nodes that are on clearly visible on the minimap, I have 450 skill so that isn't the issue, the nodes are not blacklisted either. I used to be able to farm anything visible on the minimap with no problems on previous versions of HB.

Did you decrease the farm range or what could be the issue here?

This is to confirm that I saw this too while running 1.9.5.7 in Searing Gorge yesterday. Nodes would be visible in the game world and flashing on the minimap, but HB couldn't see them. A few times I even stepped on the nodes as the profile went through its hotspots. But HB just couldn't see them. This happened on all node types for Searing Gorge--Mithril, Iron, Dark Iron.

At one point, I thought maybe Bliz changed the 'types' of those nodes so HB couldn't see/interact them, but a normal human could. It would be one way to detect automated farmers. If a bot basically took a large number of nodes out of the zone, but left the 'special' ones, that might be a form of detection. But that is sheer speculation on my part. Since I don't bot *that* hard, I looped around the zone a couple of times and moved on.
