Thread: 10 straight DNA sampling failures on a group of Longhorn Pikets....

I'm master BE so it was to my complete surprise when I failed 10 times out of 10 tries to get DNA samles from longhorn pikets. Thinking it might have been a *random* event, I went to a different longhorn piket lair and tried it again. Same results, 10 failures out of 10 tries. This happened to 4 different longhorns in 2 different lairs.


Is this a bug? Or a new Dev Team feature? Anyone else seeing this?

I have been failing alot also lately. I only have dna 1 even though thats not alot i usaully get a sample from a creature after 4 or 5 trys but i sampled a bull ronto today and i usaully do pretty good with those and i sampled one and i never got a sample i had muon gold and sampled it over 30 times and never got a sample so i tried another and same thing!



If AMERICA outlaws hog hunting the last true test for bulldogs will be gone. They have already outlawed bull baiting and pit fighting. If AMERICA loses its bulldogs AMERICA will lose its courage and will be its downfall!!!!

im pretty sure its not because i sampled a few gragonets and desrt squills later and i did ok on them so doubt it!

whenever I get a significant amount of sample failures, it's because I'm either


a) sampling something I shouldn't


b) inventory is full

I was also thinking BF had a play in it. This is the first time I sampled with about a 400BF rating, and let me tell you, it wasn't a walk in the park.

I spent almost my entire apprentice hood sampling various types of Piket's on Dantooine. What great DNA sampling xp they are for the risk.


However, I've noted they're very strange. At times, I would agro EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT. It's like, once you agro a Piket, forget it. You'll never DNA sample it again. It'll agro every time after that.


I seem to have less success also. I've been DNA Sampling Pikets now for the last couple of days for some critters I want to make. It's a long, grueling experience trying to get 75 or so DNA samples from them.

I have the same problem with Sharnaffs and Sharnaff Bulls. Everything else I can get close to I can sample and I have plenty of room in my inventory. I think I tried in the upwards of 40-50 times all being failures and the more I tried the more I wanted that sample. I finally gave up without ever being successful in getting one. I then easily sampled swamp humbabas.
