I once found a gurreck with the converse option. He didn't say anything though, just an empty chat bubble. I have screenies but it's not really worth my while to post them.

OK i asked the csr's about this here is what i said:


Yesterday i was told that a shaggy gurk "baby" spawned, is this a glich or is this supposed to be in the game? I also noticed that "crazy gurk destroyers" read as tamable: yes....are these at the moment tamable or is there a known bug which would say something along the lines of: even though these read as tamable they are not spawning babies at the moment? If you don't know the awnser to these questions or are unsure please state that in your answer

thanks for your time-Mela



the response i got was this ( I summed this up bit):


I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. In this caseI would suggest you visit the forums and speak with the correspondent that speaks with the dev team. I hope this helps, your patience is greatly appreciated


So unless I am mistaken Vertexon is the CH correspondent,...SOoo Vertexon, same question, if you don't know please just say you don't know, its cool. But either way please respond to this soI will know you saw it otherwiseI will post just this so i know you got to see my question and that it didn't get lost in the zillion other posts.


-If this is a bugged I wanna write a ticket so it can be fixed


-if this is not bugged and noone is ever finding thses the I would like to sugguest a spawn increase.


but i would like to know either way,...A gurk friendis the thing i want most of all in this whole game silly but true.

Swg slips stuff in and out all the time. Last night I of course was out Gurk hunting and that was the first time I had ever seen crazy gurk destroyer or shaggy gurk youths so( It's been awhile since I been to Lok tho) I am not really sure what to expect,..If u live on lok and or have info of any kinda about the way the nests spawn out that would be nice for u to post to.


boss creatures such as shaggy gurk youths and crazed gurk destroyers have been in the game for the last several publishes. and yes, they're boss spawns only, aside from a single static spawn i've found that has a couple of shaggy gurk youths on an hourly timer. possibility being that he thought he saw a lair of them from them spawning while someone was beating on it, killing the player, and healing the lair back to full.

on my server, there's about 7 or 8 different player cities on lok, and it's one of the more heavily populated planets thanks to a strong faction-based presence there. most people know to not expect gurks to have a baby, so if one spawns i would have heard about it by now.

stranger things have happened, but i do believe he's pulling your leg.





wow lol on kette there is only one city on lok o0 at least one city wtih a shuttleport

Thats awsome! I really appreciate and want that! Thankyou!


.....Tho I would be REALLY happy with just a rare spawn increase hotfix


(only on rare spawns that no one has ever tamed obviously they are too rare, to much can kill them and get in the way ect. when they actually do spawn anyone who is not a ch is apathetic to rare babies and will blast em) The rate at which mantrigue screecher and bull rancors spawn is a good rate for rares in my opinion. LOk is pretty desolate on corbantis server as it is on most I am betting,....And with the info my friend gave me I think I have scenario which might have happened that day: I think a somewhat noob came to the static gurk king spot probably killed the king didn't get a hide looked around a bit saw a gurk lair and started busting on it, got surprised when the boss spawned happened and 3 destroyers and a bunch of shaggies over took him, one happened to be a baby but he didn't get a chance to blast it cause he died,..my friend then who happened to be riding by saw them all outta the nest then wrote me the mail(which i wasn't on to get for another hour) He then left it....Gurks have a tendency to charge stuff (not attack just charge) the baby being left alone for an hour probably charged one of the many snakes that were around and got eaten.....of course I am guessing on all this but Its more then likely. I belive that these may have started spawning babies even if they where bugged before (I have hope) I plan to kill about thousand (wild) lairs..Its gonna take awhile, In that time if I don't find another I will assume it was a glitch baby, and ask for Gurks be unbuggedso they willspawn for everone not just as a glitch...I am at wild lair 18 atm, I will keep ya posted.

No, I'm afraid this thread is the first time I've heard of shaggy gurk baby sightings. I've killed crazed gurk destroyers in the past because they have the "Tamable: Yes" examine item... but I've never heard of an actual baby sighting.

Well you said friend so I take it you trust the person who sent you the email that they had seen a shaggy gurk baby to create this post.Perhaps he was confused and considered the youth part of the name to mean baby and sent you the tell believing that. Even if it was a baby it would be aglitchand unlikely to ever happen again.


I would recommend letting this go and signing my petition from BEAST with top 3 issues about the profession. One of theissues is having all creatures under lvl 70 tamable.

Speaking of creature glitches, have any of you had pets appear in your datapadas black cubes with big red question marks on each side (and with the smaller words "default appearance")?


That's how my Ancient Reptilian Flier appears.

I have wanted one of these from the first time I saw one like 9 months ago, look so cool like a missing link lol. This is probably my most desired pet over anything else in SWG. I sure wish we could get a screenie from your friend.
