Yeah, I've noticed something up, but assumed someone had messed around with repeaters. I didn't realise there could be other reasons.
Not quite sure whereabouts the problem area would be, but I had two characters working by a radio at the same time for a couple of days and they used to hear the same messages but now it's like the network is cut in half somehow? Though, my Cantr character could hear at least some messages from Treefeather.

Would be good to know if it is a bug of sorts or whether to keep trying to figure an IG reason to check the repeaters are still all set up the same.

It's much more likely that someone changed the frequency of a repeater than that there is a bug. Just saying.

Repeaters are changed, I would say. I saw one changed to 200 so obviously someone has been messing around with network (about 8 days ago, though I don't think that's problem, cuz all the normal blabla can be still heard)

*Sighs* Unfortunately, without actually stumbling upon evidence of it, it's very difficult for a character to point out such a thing IG because the first assumption would be that there's just nothing being broadcast from the silent area, or the person/town you're trying to contact is sleeping or just not manning the radio :(

I'd say losing contact with the whole of Threefeather would be enough reason to start an investigation ;)

Or a party :P

My character on Treefeather is hearing Cantr just fine so it might be a specific bit of Cantr or Treefeather cut off from all but their nearest neighbours rather than the 'bridge' between the islands broken?

Can a staff member PM me who can help with the radio? Having some trouble since the big change.

It's just an issue with range. Don't really want to go into further detail and out my character. If it is a bug that is currently being worked on post radio nerf I can sit tight.

There are no known bugs related to the range adjustments, however there are some unrelated radio issues ongoing for a while. These may have been corrected (again) this morning, but if not, please notify me (as GreeK is currently on vacation) via pm.
