I've noticed that my X34 only ever disappears when i'm on Corellia (where it was first generated - and got left in the coronet scrapyard after i moved planet, which it then got destroyed) , this seems to happen randomly, with nothing that i can pin down. I can sit in the vehicle for ages and it's fine, sometimes i can generate it and 2 mins (without moving) it's gone. If i jump out to do things, i can never guarantee it's going to be there when i get back.

However, when i'm onany other planetit's never disappeared on me at all, and all the above don't apply. It stays where i left it and is always there when i come back.

Nice to say i haven't had to repair it yet, since it has never gone below 2100 HP , and next time i login and generate it it's back up to full strenght (and believe me, i've done a lot of hours over the last week - only sleeping for about 8 a day lol - gotta get my fix lol)

ive had most of the above problems myself, just one thing to add... last time my swoop autostored on me i found myself standing next to 2 CH pets stuck on a serverline.

My vehicule poofed two time last night.

On Corellia, inside 1400m of Coronet. I was shooping around. One time i got off my speederbike and got in a shop, when i got out the bike was gone. The second time, i went afk for a minute or two, parked in front of a shop. When i came back the bike was gone and i was just standing there.

I can consistantly get my swoop bike to poof while riding it by starting out in the Mesric Plateau area and riding on a direct line towards Ben Kenobi's house. About 1.5k from the house the bike stores. It has happened to me twice and my wife's character once.

Last night I flew from Mesric Plateau (we have a city there) to the University Guild Hall in Bestineand back.. when I got back my swoop bike wouldn't store.

I'll exit a vehicle and jump around 50-100m away. I'll exit a vehicle and it will autostore

Like many others, my speeder bike autostores while travelling all the time. Another problem I have had is the bike autostoring while I am not on it. I was using my speeder for BH missions. I would ride to 200m away from the target and dismount. I did not want the mark to destroy my vehicle if he got in a lucky shot and killed me. I walk over, kill the mark, and walk back. The bike has stored.

I went through most of a crate of basic camps in 2 hours of play just for calling my bike.

I am seeing my vehicle deteriorate like crazy. Every two days it needs a repair.

Is this intended?

Issues with Vehicles:

1. Even since the hot fix they do not always store

2. When you try to enter a vehicle or exit the vehicle the wrong command comes up on the radial menu: exit vehicle comes up on the radial menu when you try to enter-enter vehicle comes up when you try to exit. This will provide a message such as you can't mount a vehicle when you are allready mounted and the correct options will come up on the radial menu

3. Vehicles still disappear while being ridden. A big problem if you happen to be over a large body of water. This could be an issue with zone lines.

4. Even thoughg it's probably in the manual some players don'r appear to understand how to use the garage. People seem to believe that you must enter the garage, this will cause a you can't see your target message when you try to repair.

5. You can arrive at the location without being able to tell that there are mobs at the site. This is a problem for POI spots especially if you're overt and show up at a rebel/imperial location.

6. Vehicles also disappear without being ridden. Sometimes they disappear if you're off the vehicle for an extended period of time.

7. Occasionally when you dismount a vehicle it will the player to a different spot from vehicle. The last time this occured my character was warped 50m from the bike.

Other Issues:

1. POI activewaypoints will remain if you switch to a different server. This means that if I have Corellia waypoints active on one server they will appear on another server if I am on Tatooine and cannot be shut off.

2. Lag is still an issue at cities even when populations are light.

My vehicle disappears all the time but for some reason mostly on overcrowded planets. Maybe this has to do with the duping? its making smoeone else's vehicle disappear because of the duped one?

That may be why your having trouble nailing it down in internal and why it didnt show up on TC, because it's totally about the #'s in the area.

I believe I can duplicate the auto storage problem at will. The last four days when I have done my harvester rounds which always follows the same order and path, I have had my landspeeder autostore at exactly the same time and place in the rounds.

If you need a reproducable example of autostorage I will give you the details. The initial message by JustG made it sound like you already have a handle on this issue so my offer may not be needed.

well, i can offer some of my help on the autostoring while riding issue... a friend of mine commented that it might be a result of a server boundry issue of some sort and after further investigation I have to agree with him. however it is difficult to repeat. on some server boundries I know of that my pets used to get stuck upon ALL the time (namely the ones outside moenia and coronet) my vehicle never autostores. however in teh middle of nowhere naboo, south of keren, and west of kaadara in the mountains, there is a location where I've had my vehicle autostore on me 5 out of 6 times since i've crossed near there. I keep passing this location on th way between my player city and my harvesters and i dismount all the time there. this is of cours EXTREMELY problematic for me as i have no crafter skills and immediately become stranded 5km from any city in th emiddle of mountains....

also on the out of range issue. this is the same issue i've seen on mounts for weeks now and have been bugging repeatedly. this is for sure a server boundry issue but again doesnt manifest itself on each server boundry. there is a specific mission spawn point from the final missions for garm bel iblis in coronet which has reproduced this problem for me every time. when you take the mission and go heading out of town (i think its to the northeast although I forgot exactly) upon arriving at the mission location there is no mission spawn and no buildings there even though you know there should be some. then if you dismount, the buildings and mission appear after a bit of machine lag and your pet is stuck a good 800m behind you at the server boundry thats just outside of coronet there. every time i went to this one spawnpoint while holo hunting this happened to me.

i'll say it again, SOME server boundries are still sticking the mounts/vehicles... you guys need to find out why some and not others though. a very nebulous problem indeed

I was driving around (two accounts) and ran by a reb small dish turret

At the same time our bikes disappeared. It seem related to the turret

My vehicles seem to disappear frequently. I'm using a swoop bike, and it often leaves me standing as items load onto the map. For example, mission targets, and player structures. Damage seems to heal itself sometimes after disappearing too. (reverting to an earlier bike?)

Also after dismounting and going into a building to use a vendor, or engage a mission target, my bike is still waiting for me maybe 50% of the time when I return.

There is a rather annoying warp when I dismount before coming to a complete stop. I do use the /dismount command with my /stand command in the hotbar. I replaced the default F1 /stand with a macro for /stand; /dismount. This macro has the effect of standing when not mounted, and dismounting when mounted. I often end up very far from the bike, or with a blank set of terrain for a second or two and then warp back to standing by the bike.

Are you going to re-allow the generation of pets (vehicles specifically) without a camp? When your pet/vehicle disappears on you near dense player structures that are not a city, near a lair, or in a municiple zone (due to static content, or POIs) it's often time consuming to find a place for a camp, assuming you have the skill to place a camp in the first place. At least with pets, you can walk into a public building and re-call...
