Thread: Yavin4, Endor, and Dathomir random spawns...

It seems to me, that Lok and Dantooine have problem on all the servers with a high population (I'm playing on Bloodfin).


The current problem for Lok and Dantooine, is like what we had with Tatooine about 6 months ago where vendors were extremely slow and there was always a 5-10 second delay on everything you did (combat etc). Lok isn't as bad as Dantooine though. When the servers have gotten their daily reboot everything runs smooth on these two planets, but when the US players come online at primetime, things go really mad! It's almost impossible to do anything on these two planets.


Also something I noticed what might add to this lagare all the vehicles standing around at the outposts on Dantooine. I was there last night at one of the Pirate outposts (the southern one), and there was like 20 vehicles just standing around and humming.. My suggestion to fix this, would be everytime a player takes a shuttle if it be off-planet or not, force an autostore on all his pets/vehicles to prevent this crazy buildup of vehicles at the outposts. People simply forget to store their pets and vehicles, and it makes the rest of the players lag horrible at times.


Currently Lok and Dantooine on Bloodfin is a nightmare! The sub-servers for these planetsare choked down most of the day, and I really hope something can be done about this soon...

Hey TickTock, which server?

UMMM thats a problem on most servers if you are on a bike... cuase the bikes move faster than the npcs can render...


as for eveyrone else who wants more server for dantooine - I would like nod my head in agreement.



just so you know TH and whoever else reads this... dantooine has been laggier than coronet ever since you guys gave everyone a reason to go running to dantooine - holocrons. dantoine gets worse and worse every single day since the initial holocron craze in november... or whenever it was. SOE was responsible for this, and they have failed in backing up the game play changes with more hardware to support the increased demand on the planet.

TH - which server do you play on? do you play at all? if you played on ahazi you wouldn't have to ask... you would've noticed all these issues like 2 months ago....

I went 30000m on Lok last night without encountering a SINGLE spawn. As a BE this is a HUGE problem for me. Now that our profession is nicer, it'd be nice to be able to find creatures to sample from on Advanced planets? Please acknowledge and fix this!

There may still be problems with random spawns on these planets if there are too many people running the missions. If this is the case, they should pick back up after the initial COA rush subsides.
We will be installing COA on the European servers during their regularly scheduled downtime tonight.
thx,

You guys can rest soundly knowing Dantooine on Kettemoor rocks! Theres random spawns every few hundred meters, maybe 3-6 player cities and I only every get lag when its raining, when I'm fighting with a group (and theres a lot of FT's, fog effects etc) or both. Even then its not very play-hindering anyway. Great job

Don't forget about Dantooine. The same problem exists there. By the time I logon at night I can often travel for 15min outside of the "outpost spawn zone" and not see a single creature.

I have seen a problem driving and not seeing mobs but more often than not if I get off my bike and run or get on my mount I see the spawns.


IMHO they are just not loading cos we are going to fast, this is just an extension of them only appearing once you have passed them it seems.

Put Kettemoor's Dantooine on thelist as well. I go there with my bio-engineer and can walk (not drive, not run) for literally 1000's of km without seeing a single random spawn. Not much fun when you're trying to find some decent DNA to work with.
