Bio Engineer Archive

Not only is it a pain just to get close to them, but everytime I fail on the first sample they all decide to kill eachother then I am screwed and can never get another chance to sample. This seems like a bug or something to me.

What level Bio-engineer are you? At Master, I fail a lot too, but don't force aggro all THAT often; when I do, I run away, come back to where they're fighting each other, help them along with my T21, and sample the victor(s).

he's not saying that.. he's saying they agro each other I believe.. and at that point it's worthless to wait around for the end of the fight.

actually, I've seen many pets in the wild agro'ing each other since this last patch. I've watched a fight between a giant kimo and 2 dune kimos out in the wild. one dune backed out and the other one lost. kinda neat till they intertwined and all you saw was a head sticking out of each other's asp lol

bug, maybe.. a pain, definately! great for hunters, I'm sure. but after sampling for many hours now and making half-ass stuff with excellent dna, they have bigger things to worry about then the wild agro's. they really need to get us a decent dna construction system instead of all this guess work/random acts.

angel.

even with my +15 maskscent shirt and pants I can't get within 30 meters of the stupid things.I have exploration 4 and they break mask, and then one will spot me lying there and run me off while the others fight each other...

I believe that they start fighting each other is because they have an area of attack (AOA) attack. I think its bleed if im not mistaken. When they use this they hit everything inthe attack rangearea and agro that as well.

This has always been like this for as long as I remember. A good example would be Krayts, have you noticed that they attack each other if you find a group and attack it? Its because of the AOA.
