Essence bug?

[dolljointed]

i'm not sure if its just me or what, but for some reason 90% of the essence i get won't spawn until i walk far enough away from where it should have? like, if i'm chopping down a tree, the essence for it won't show up unless i walk about 5 steps away from where the tree was. and it's not just trees, it's with almost everything. i feel like it most likely causes me to miss out on collecting some essence, and when i do notice it it's kind of aggravating to have to do a little loop back around. obviously essence isn't very hard to get so it's not a super big deal, but it is something i would like to see fixed!

It's just got a delay. It spawns if you just stand there it just takes more time than the other drops. I can't imagine it's on purpose so should get fixed at some point.

It would be nice if it spwned faster, but it may be inteneded?

It can be... Though I'm not sure behind intent here - to teach us not to run? So far the only thing it make happens is frustrate players.

The dragon does say something about keeping an eye out for the orbs, so I guess it could be possible, but it's not a fun mechanic at all so needs changed. I still think it's most likely not intended and is due to having separate spawning from the initial drops.

But the day runs so quickly not running isn't really an option. Slow drop wastes so much time

I believe the delay for the trees to drop essense is the order of drops. From what I've seen the trees tend to check for drops in the order of wood, hard wood, pine cone or acorn, random forage item, and finally essense. This makes me think it's not a bug, but rather a part of the code that checks for random drops not being quite efficient enough yet.

Yeah and then the memory leak issue can make it take longer to show up. Like sometimes they show up almost right after the wood and sometimes they take almost a whole second after.
