I posted on this the day of the patch but got lost in the chatter.


Static spawns were nerfed horribly. Not only do creatures in these areas randomly spawn (and rarely at that), the camps only seam to last until you get out of range of the nest and poof, they are gone. If you manage to isolate a baby and get to far from the nest, it will dissapear with it.


This is still happening in game. I confirmed it now in both the grauls and rancors on Dathomir. It took me 4 hours to tame 1 rancor and 1 gnarled rancor. I never saw frenzied grauls but a few mixed camps of the lower ones.


I don't mind them being rare, but the dissapearing thing is annoying. Especially with these being high enough aggro to chase you off.

And, how exactly is this a problem? I assume most of the gripping about this is because of losing a steady income, instead of keeping a few as pets.

Well I haven't gone and looked myself but have you checked DEAD EAST of the outpost (the north one not south). You generally have to travel about 3-4km tilll you find any.

I don't mind rare, and preferably even ultra rare high level creatures. As long as they aren't GONE completely, I think this change rocks.

I wouldn't mind if they were just really rare. Thing is, there are no animals--of any kind mind you--in the wilderness of Dathomir. You can walk for hours (and I have) without seeing a single lifeform.


This leads me to believe that something is horribly, horribly wrong. In 3 days I should at least *see* a frenzied graul.


Maybe it's not so bad for you guys who already have these or want to do it the easy way and buy them, but I got to Dath for the first time right after this all started happening, and it's more irritating than you can imagine.

I think the baz mission runners are killing the spawns on the planet. The same thing happend on Endor with jax. My theory is that Destroy missions replace natural spawns 1 for 1 so the only mobs you see are baz around the outposts. I got lucky last night and found 2 spawns of FG

Ok, you guys talking about selling high level pets have lost me. Who and why are these people buying them? Are they unaware of the nerf that is coming? If you can tame one why would you buy it? The fun part of this class is finding and taming new pets.

So has it occured to you that if you REALLY want to keep everyone and their dog from having them you should STOP SELLING them?

I'm sorry, but you're 2 points here directly contridict each other.

"I hate that everyone has these! Oh? You want to buy one? OK, here you go!"

I'm going to start taming them and giving them away for free - no reason not to with people like you selling them to everyone and their dog Skippy.

It's things like this that make me glad that the 60 cap is going in - only a Master CH will even be able to call one, so there won't be any reason for people to be selling them.

What good does being able to tame a creature do you if you can't find it....
