Treasure Hunters
I also just dug up a gold Barbarian's Stash chest in Malas... picked the lock, removed trap, no loss of items... and literally there was no loot besides the gold and gems. Not a single item.
RANDOMIZED Treasure Chests locations mean an increased difficulty for those wanting to raid Treasure Hunters in Felucca since they would not be able to just hop from a rune to another to check where there is any player doing Maps in Felucca....
It would be way too much time consuming for Raiders to go walking all over Felucca to see if anyone was doing Maps in Felucca....
Not saying that there won't be some players with plenty of time at their hand doing those extensive walkings, just saying that RANDOMIZED locations for Treasure Chests will make it a WHOLE LOT more difficult and time consuming for Raiders to go annoy Treasure Hunters in Felucca....
Bottom line is, I WAY MORE PREFER Randomized locations.....
Besides, it is MORE FUN because Treasure Hunting, to my opinion IS having to search for the location of the Chest and not a simple recall to a memorized FIXED chest spawn location....
But from reading the Publish notes I could not gather that detailed information....
This is the first implementation of our planned Treasure Map update. Everything should be considered a work-in-progress and subject to change and/or removal. This update does NOT represent the final implementation, especially of the following systems as they relate to treasure maps,
Cheers MissE

More amazed by the amount of people that clearly haven't even read the full publish notes to understand the full gamut of what is being proposed before complaining about it.
Don't like what is proposed in the publish notes? Go and test it, and give constructive feedback. Some things are clearly broken (like the no loot in chests), which I am sure is being addressed. They are not going to go live with no loot in chests or maps that won't decode.

Just an idea, but could loot themes for the new t-maps be changed to reflect (harken back to, tie into, etc.) Ultima prime a bit more closely? Rather than 6 profession themes, increase to 8 themes to reference 8 professions/companions? I mean, you're most of the way there already.
i.e.
Pub 105 = Original Professions
??? = Shepard
Artisan = Tinker
Ranger = Ranger
??? = Bard
Barbarian = Fighter
Warrior = Paladin
Mage = Mage
Assassin = Thief (in place of Druid)
Bard could just be bard. Chests could have....Instruments? Mana gen gear? Ice/Shock/Acid horns? Music gears? (Honestly items...for lore? Items that require identification? You know, bards, lore. Like chocolate and peanut butter.)
Shepards aren't herding animals for fun, but to get resources from them, so maybe a resource chest? Logs, ore, fish, wool, yeast, seeds, meat, hides, conversion elixers, etc.
Artisan's represent more than just Tinkers, so maybe..."Workers"??? (Lumberjacks, Fishers, Miners, Gardners, etc.) could represent more than just Shepards?
Just some thoughts.
Pub looks good overall. Powerscrolls in Fel maps will be nice. Hope you can find a way to bring in Remove Trap. I say that if you trip the explosion trap, telekinesis or otherwise, the chest should just blow to smithereens and scatter mostly broken loot all over the place. And kill you. It should always kill you.
Had a couple of maps in the batch that I couldn't decode. Got the message "You study the treasure map but need more time to attempt to decode". Someone else said they got that message too but we're able to go back to it and decode it later. I didn't find that to be the case. A couple hours later I still get that message on both maps. One is and Assassin's Cache for Ilshenar. The other is Ranger's Stash in Trammel.
Had no problem with dropping Mining and using Cartography to easily find the spot to dig. 50 points in DH works fine for using RT for now. I know I'd be very happy with the build / builds I can create for a treasure hunter if DH goes away and RT can be used on its own.
I know the idea that Telekinesis won't get to all the goodies in a chest doesn't make everyone happy. Personally, I like the idea a lot. I think it makes sense. Looking forward to what's next.
