i checked two planets when i logged on today before i got frusterated and logged. Dantooine and yavin were both bugged as such that the random spawns were not spawning. I can only say that i realize why all my friends quit and starting to wonder why i am still playing this game?

I've had problems with crafting lag recently (Sunrunner).
And I've always had problems with spawning and lag on the "advanced" planets. (Flurry)

Hey TickTock, which server?

I dont have that problem on my main...

Well, as you have the "testcenter" as your server, that's hardly a surprise, or are there like 200 people on the imp outpost alone on weekends?

Fact: Spawns on [Endor,Lok,Dantooine,Yavin4,Dathomir] are worse than ever, especially on weekends. Yesterday i drove for like 6000mtrs or so and i found 1 (one) lair, that was in 500 mtrs distance from the imp outpost (coming from southeast corner of dantooine).

BTW, my server is Loading....errr...i mean....Gorath (if i remember the name correctly, coz it says "loading" most of the time...)

It's like that on Kauri.

Alot of it could be lag. I'f I am driving full speed across a planet I dont see much at all. If I stop for 60 seconds it is another story. Monsters load around me if I stand still.

Thunderheart: I am on the Tarquinas server, and I have a jedi.

So needless to say, I am on any one of the 4-5 given planets in this thread at all times - and out in the wild.

It's really bad when my jedi can lose his saber TEF because I can't find anything to kill.

I definitely have ridden across half of dantooine and not seen any spawn. Thats stopping every 200-300m for a few seconds to see what loads. Same for Endor and Dathomir. Past 1500m everything disappears.

I have had good luck with Yavin overall though, but the experience per creature makes it a tradeoff most trips.

I havent tried Lok much yet, but have friends there who tell me its not any different.

On intrepid the player city I stay in is on dantooine. It's rare to find random spawns unless they're huurtons which aren't much to kill anyway. Awhile back when few adventured on planets like dantooine I remember going there and it was hard to walk 500m without being attacked (Even when carefully avoiding creatures). Now you can go from one side of the planet to the other and likely not be attacked.

I was hunting kimo on Lok, doing a search pattern with a friend we covered the entire southern third of the planet. Found 2 kimo (one enraged that got away, how DO they run 1000 m in like 3 seconds?) and, i think there were 5, maybe 6 lairs of other animals that I saw. That's out of an entire third of Lok! I used to like it there but i haven't been back since.

Will Lok be looked at too or is it supposed to be ... sparsely inhabited?

On Kettemoor, the spawn rates on Dantooine feel a little light, Lok is barren beyond the ring of reds around Nym's and somewhat at the POIs. Endor is quite healthy in the number of random lairs and whatnot and Dathomir was writhing in Rancors during the last guildhunt we did.
