I'm being held hostage. . .

<p>That used to happen to me when I was chronomage mentored down.</p>

[Jihanna]

<p>Try moving somewhere else.  I get that from time to time.  Not sure what causes it, but usually if I move and/or remove my mount...It'll let me camp.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>....  and here I thought that this was a good post.  If you find out that it is the chronomage mucking it up, be sure to do an in game /bug so that the Devs can look into it <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Is it a bad post? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/49869fe8223507d7223db3451e5321aa.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p><em>/quit desktop</em> always works for me.</p>

<p>Its a bug with being Mounted.  Right click and cancel your mount, you can camp fine.</p><p>It could be the RAF mount, it's the only one I ever have issues with.</p>

[Notes]

<p>I get this also while on RAF Mount</p><p>Noets</p>

[Jesdyr]

<p>Me too .. only happens with RAF mount while I am chrono mentored (else it is fine)</p>

[Katz]

<p>Well that would explain why it was only sometimes while chronomentored.  It was my toon that rides the RAF mount.  So apparently the combination of the 2 does it.</p>

[illaria]

<p>I also ran into this diffulty, now I just know to camp the alt toon first : D</p>

[Rothgar]

<p>Which RAF mount are you using?</p>

[Avianna]

<p>the issue is in fact being mentee wether chronomentored or mentoring someone else it will not allow you to camp. I have tested and confirmed this to be the case with a friend of mine.</p>

[ashen1973]

for a long time now I have not been able to /camp while mentored (chrono'd/normal mentored/RAF mount or not) . I just assumed this was normal.

[Katz]

<p>I was using the evil RAF mount also.</p>

[Pyra Shineflame]

<p>I've encountered this as well, however with just mentoring in general. If mentored and unmounted, no issue. Mentored on a rhino, no issue. Unmentored with Armored Pinto, no issue. Unmentored with Deathcharger, no issue.</p><p>Mentored on the Deathcharger?</p><p>"You have abandoned camp preparations."</p><p>So yeah...</p>

[Jazzia]

<p>Deathcharger keeps me from camping most times, too. And I get "Invalid Target" or something like that while travelling with public transport. Can't say if it's every time but I've noticed it a lot while travelling on a sokokar in RoK.</p>

[Nightshade]

<p>I can confirm that Saryrn Deathcharger + Chronomage mentoring makes for abandoned camp preparation bug. I stored it while still chronomaged and was able to camp just fine.</p>

[brammator]

Must add I have this bug (both /camp and "wrong target") on chronomentor + RAF pinto. Unmounting helps.

[Bunji]

<p>The RAF /camp bug has been reproduced internally.  Thanks for everyones feedback on this issue.</p>
