| Author | Ambush auto canceling |
|---|
Anybody else having this problem? Within about the last hour I have had my ambush cancel by itself 4 times now. I have had this happen before but only after a long time of not getting an ambush, like an hour.
Earlier today I had something similar happening. On the map screen where it says
Thieves guild, you are in ambush Cancel
It would disappear as if I hit cancel. Then when I would click on something, or refresh, it would all of a sudden go to the ambush. Once the timer was at 300 seconds when it finally loaded. I was on the map screen the whole time.
But now my ambush is disappearing as if I hit cancel and when I refresh nothing happens, I have to set the ambush again.
Anybody else having similar problems? |
| No, this is not a problem. The game will auto cancel your ambush in 15-20 minutes if you ambushed no one. |
| hmmm....really? This has never happened to me in the past, only after almost an hour of no ambush it would but not every 15-20 minutes. |
Ambush will be auto-cancel if battle doesn't start in 15 mins. Always have been like that.
en when I would click on something, or refresh, it would all of a sudden go to the ambush. Once the timer was at 300 seconds when it finally loaded. I was on the map screen the whole time.
I have had these too, not sure why though, probably just because the page got "stucked". |
Ambushes time-out after about 15 to 30 minutes (you didn't catch anyone).
You have to re-set the ambushes after they time-out.
What you are describing is more likely to be that you caught someone, but your screen does not refresh correctly into the battle, but still removes the Ambush text
Maybe it's a browser problem? How it handles the scripting for the page refresh? |

Wow that's weird then because I swear I have gone much longer than that until today. In fact it would always be just shy of an hour because I would set ambush then enroll and if I did not ambush anyone about 5 minutes before my next enroll was due my ambush would auto-cancel.
But I will assume that nothing is wrong with ambushing. I just wanted to make sure that everything is as it should be ;) |
kinda funny, after I hit post message I got an caught a caravan. I have never had the ambush time out this fast before, like I said was always near an hour for me. But none the less everything seems to working as it should be.
I use Firefox, never had a problem before with an ambush triggering but not switching to combat before. I have had the normal delay in page refresh and coming into combat a little late. But never like today when it appeared to time-out until I did a manual refresh then come into combat 200 seconds late. |
It is getting harder and harder to ambush...primarily for 2 reasons I notice:
1. Too many OTHER thieves hijacking caravans before you
2. Not enough active players on servers, moving around
There are too many players that just sit in a region, log for work, etc, and never really 'play' the game. Just rack up gold, probably to sell their accounts someday, etc.
