Bio Engineer Archive

I swear to GOD DNA sampling is bugged right now. I have sampled nearly 100 times in a row off of small critters on Naboo and have failed everytime, Submitted2 bug reports and even talked to a CSR in the chat room. This needs to be fixed. I ama 4414 Bio Engineer on Flurry and it gets frustrating when you are so close to mastering this profession and you can't because of a minor bug. I'm going to assume the dev's are going to overlook this one for a long time. I gave up yesterday in the hopes that server reboot would fix the problem, but it didn't. Anyone else have this same problem?

Sounds like another case of "Backpack full" syndrome.

There is no problems with the dna sampling other then like you might be to far way or just the random part where you could not get the sample would have to repeat sample.

Like the post above me covered check your inventory cause if your packed solid and try to get the samples in there they wont go and you will get the problem your getting. Try that and let us know cause i been doing the dna line first my self so i get better creations out of the mix.

* Dna sampling not working due to iventory being full is a common thing with bio enginer's cause if your focusing on the grinding part before you know it your inventroy is packed full of creation's or alot alot of dna samples .

Nope. Nothing wrong with Sampling. did a bunch this morning.

yup i sampled stuff today with nps. i think it would be a great idea if SOE could put it a 'sample dna in practice mode' mode so that dna wasn't put in ur inv and u got a little 5% bonus for it. would makethe grindersa little happier

I would tend to agree.

I sampled the same creature 25 times today with no success.

And after you spent 5 minutes sneaking up on a Mutant Rancor and being chased away repeatedly, it get's a tad frustrating to get repeated failures!!

But I am not real upset. I think any DNA as powerful as this SHOULD be difficult to get. Although I would have liked to get more than 7 samples for a 3 hour hunt!

7? you got 7?! i've come away with just two samples before and considered it a job well done

Inventory was completly empty, I'm no noob this is my 2nd time mastering this profession. It just kept telling me that I failed whenever I sampled. However I jumped on a few hours ago after spending the day out of town, logged in to see if it worked, and all of a sudden it started to work again. Strange.

I had something similar happen to me. I was sampling greater sludge panthers (took me two trips to find some), got 2 samples then nothing for 30 minutes trying to sample off 4 different mobs. I finally gave up.

Maybe there's a glitch in the code that loops fails under some obscure conditions?

More likely a synchronisation problem - sometimes get this with crafting. After 3 fails in a row I always relog - seems to fix the problem.
