    almost impossvible to complete mining treespeak

    Tried this leve earlier and its almost impossible 7 rank 49 hogs covering one node and about 6 ixali covering another. This needs to change.

    In general mining grade 5 now is a nightmare (have tried Treespeak and Halatali only so far). Due to the fact that u now have to stay wihtin ur gather class - 3 mining nodes are nescessary (not 3 nodes of any type) it is also very much harder.

    Treespeak: the north and the northeast is cluttered with hordes of R46+ beastmen. A node i saw was within aggro-range of 10 of these. I was able to get to 2 nodes but never a third.

    Halatali: there are groups of R40+ Assassins in around half the cave areas and half the outside is filled with hordes of R40+ antlings. Not possible to find 3 nodes.

    This makes the ranking of miner and possibly botanist impossible. I welcome the fact that beastmen tribes have been added, but there is enough room outside the node areas for those.

    PLEASE CHANGE!!

    Same problem with Botany, just made a thread for that too. Bit irritated! I wasted one leve because I couldn't finish it and took 20 minutes to complete a 5 minute leve so got a weaker reward, through no fault of my own did it take 15 minutes longer.

    This destroys what I loved about gathering. Finding the 4 most efficient nodes in a zone and running them until you drop. Even if you take away the 4 node trick, I would still be happy with having to cycle fully through 3 nodes compared to what we have now.
