today after the patch i decided to go do a little wdb hunting, unbuffed ..a little brandy and the pig is an easy mark...i keep my radar set to 256m . at one time i had 3 ancient krayts, a canyon and a juvie together, and a giant canyon all on my radar..yes 6 krayts......made pig hunting kind of difficult..well actually impossible 
i wonder if these krayt hyperspawns, they increased again for this publish, are the devs way of getting people together to hunt, in anticipation of the CU...i mean there must be a reason for all the krayts...i saw more dragons than kreetles..
i assume there is a reason, perhaps it is along the lines of .."get used to groupingin orderhunt"
any thoughts?

Was wondering about the same thing yesterday ....
Maybe because of all loot/kill stealing complaints ?? Or .... because the armor and buffs are so Uber, they throw multiple krayt dragons at ya to make it at least a littlebit of a challenge ?

yeah i suppose it had beed more than a few min before any jedi issues had been addressed
seems like a more obvious reason why any non jedi can't walk 200m without aggroing a a kratyt...what was i thinking..hmm, too bad ch will never get this kind of attention

lol..it was kindo of late when i put that..not a flame to your comment..more like i envision an alarm going off at dev headquarters..."we have a jedi without a pearl!!!!!!!...quick what do we do????!!!"..."let's increase the amopunt of krayt spawns tenfold!!!!..poor jedi, that should help him..who cares if it crushes the ecomomy for krayft drops, dramatically decreases the profits for weaponsmiths, and takes away WDB's from ch's.."
that's what i was refering to maximus...i hope that's no the real reason for the HUGE increase in krayft spawns, but unfortunately it very well could be..i am hoping the reasonhas little more substance than a blatant jedi stroke..like as a hint to the way things may become..but who knows .....

Sounds like my outing last night. Went to the graveyard to meet someone and BAM!!! Three of them!! I was out there looking a couple of months ago, wanted to try and solo one and nothing to be seen for miles. Now you go out there and you better be buffed just to stop at a few vendors.

The grouping thing does make sense. However, if people still solo krayts, but I assume soloing 2 or more at a time would be near impossible.

Increased Jedi population means need for pearls... Makes sense to me

I guess the most galling thing about all the Jedi loving is that while they get all this instant hand-and-foot service (including an instant hotfix for the anti-decay kit adding lightsabers to the preservable items), the developers remain silent about the Phase-4 bug of Capt. Sargullo -- and THAT one is a gamebreaker for thousands of NON-jedi.

Actually its a multifold attack on the loot market.
1. Jedi need the pearls no doubt about that, and jedi are paying hand and fist to get krayt pearls. Simply upping the spawn increases the supply. While this sounds too good. It probabally is remember the CURB will do something to jedi. In all likelihood it will simplify the glowsticks. Such as it is in kotor. You will have 12 or so types of crystals for jedis to use eight will be common and four will be rare. Something like that to ensure that a sabre is always balanced and money dosent run the roost.
2. The krayt tissues have been going for millions of credits as of late. Now with so much spawn the krayt tissue supply will go through the roof. The result tissues will not be worth as much. This kind of self defeats those pike tka campers. The more they camp the less what they get out is worth.
3. If most players have uber krayt weapons it will be easy to balance in the CURB. Seeing as everyone will be loseing equally.
4. It gives players a higher challenge and more of a call to group up. Makes sense the population is very spread out after the hologrind the combat inbalances and the jedi grinding. Alot of players rarely group anymore.
5. Players have always complained that going into an empty graveyard blows.
