Hmm...I've got no dna sampling on an alt of mine and have been able to sample from picket longhorn females without problems, gurks on lok after about 4 tries, and bols on dant (ones with pack runner lair) about as often. Is it maybe the aggresive critters have been cranked up too hard?

better yet find a ranger and have them camo you, camo make you invisable to npc's (walk right through a ns ranger with -5k faction and they dont blink) just food for thought

Camo kits no longer make you invisible to NPC's, we were told that it wasnever intended to work that way and was removed in a previous patch. We have been fighting to get it back but as far as i know it hasn't been put back in and any recent experience you've had with it working that way is a bug.

I'm still terribly unlucky.......this morning.

As posted earlier in the above, I think the agro creatures may have beenturned up a bit in the sensitivity dept. However, it still doesn't explain the enormous amount of sampling failures that I am having. I have also experienced the creatures running like their arse is on fire for 80m or better.....right as I start to sample.

You know, I'm not real big on buffing my stats....I generally play with what the Devs have given me....probably a mistake. At any rate, the mind cost for sampling is a bit much...especially with the number of failures I am encountering. I tried to sample a grassland voritor tracker.....4 times failed in a row. I had to wait for my mind to regenerate before sampling any further. Luckily, I did not encounter any agro during this sampling period. I have 700 for all my main stats. At 214 mind points per sample, it doesn't take long for me to haveto sit down and take a break.

I have made quite a few credits as a Master Bio-Engineer but, my frustration with the devs and their confounded tinkering is slowly driving me away.

hmm only cost me 100 pts to sample my god why dont you migrate or buy a crate of brandy, im a zab and my mind is maxed (1000 m , 600 f, 900 wp) and even with the zabs slow regen rate i can sample for a good 15 - 20 mins be 4 i have to pop a brandy

Something seems to have changed. I can definitely vouch for the decrease in sample qualities, as well as an increase in creatures attacking after being sampled. As an MBE, I could regularly attain VHQ samples; now it's more like 1 in 50. There are a substantial number of HQ, but much fewer VHQ. Odd. Are our creations too powerful (again)?

Yeah, there seems to be something different. My mask scent seems to break about 3x as much as it used to, and I got 3 fails in a row and then an above average sample from durni I created before it popped last night. How could I fail to get a sample from a comatose (deeded) durni that was in my inventory? How could I fail 3x in a row, as a master BE, to get valid DNA from a creature I created?

Just curious....

I'll be on Dant again sometime today, so I'll give it a shot and see if it is different. Somewhere I remember reading the servers change stats on Tuesday; I can't swear that's true or not.

I've been using the same clothes and skills for a couple of months, so the variant isn't on my side. I know there are species I can expect a problem getting close to such as rancors and TMBs, but I'm talking about things I've never had a problem with.
