Thread: Aug 6th hotfix = end of Rryatt trails (part 2 of Pub 21)?
Seems that there will not be a huge 50 person group grinding down there anymore (at least at the huge Feral Wookie spawn). Plus, the AFKers will be most assuredly killed (I hope) if tried in a group of 8 using their weakest attacks every 5 seconds.
Thoughts?

What? When have there ever been 50 person group grinding??? Something I never saw. Always groups of 8 and only 8.
The new fix does makes sense, glad they did it.
Yeah they are countering what jedi do in the trails.
For whatever reason, when Publish 21 hit live, a bug was introduced where *anyone* who hit a critter even once got full XP for it when it died, regardless of whether or not that person was in the group that killed it.
So, the obvious result was that a whole *pile* of groups would get on the Ryatt trail and kill feral wookiees. You'd have four, five full groups sticking together and nailing each wookiee as it spawned. Regardless of which group actually killed the wookiee, everyone in any of the groups who hit it would get full XP.
This hotfix restores the normal XP grant behavior, where XP would only be granted to people in the group that hit and killedthe critter.
you should see instance 4 of ahazi

makes missions a mess again now. On eclipse they are always on the same spot
Yeah, but on the bright side, it will be hard for them to AFK grind in a group of 8 on one spawn. They just won't be able to do it. I mean, it's so sad if I walk down there with my 1122 damage HLR and can take every single kill if I so desired with just one spray shot. If they can't even do enough damage to outdamage 1 person, then they won't be able to take on all the wookies at once.
lol, i take it you haven't tried taking any player bounties since publish21, have you?
