I am positively fuming at the moment and hope this is just a VERY temporary bug of some kind.
I have been hunting on Endor for my rifle xp (for FS) for the past 6 or 8 weeks.
Endor is cool, because there are a lot of spawns. I have never had to go more than 2K from the Smuggler Outpost to start hunting.
Usually, once I find a nest, Ican get off my bike and never have to get back on it.
I just logged on today, got my buffs and went to Endor. I have traveled probably 10000 or more meters from and around the outpost and not seen EVEN ONE NEST of ANY KIND.
If the devs have nerfed hunting to slow down Jedi, I am out of this game.
HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THIS ON ENDOR, OR ANYWHERE?

See it all the time, get off your bike, walk around a bit(10 minutes or so)and they will start spawning.
I am not sure if its nobody has been there a while, or if nobody has been there since server reset but it seems that creatures only spawn if someone has been around or been there recently.

somedays wheni was doing the grind was better than others a few times i found like nothing anywhere. spawns are tied to foot traffic and normally a lot of folks are trotting back and forth to the DWB and the game puts spawn there. but it is possible the patch broke something its happened before.

I read somewhere that the spawns are related to the the number of players on that planet.
Not sure though.

this is a known problem.
If your within 2k of a POI or starport/city - you will usually get spawns.
Another thing you can do is to /sit shift-esc and disconnect. Sometimes you will trigger spawns around you. (careful though - sometimes nasty spawns appear right on top of you)
CSR claims there is no problem with spawns. I beg to differ. However, since Beverly closed my ticket - i could not respond and show her exactly how they are broken.
Good luck grinding jedi on a remote planet without doing missions..... within 2k of a base/city.....

In my experience, it seemsthat there is about a 2km radius around poi & non-player cities where spawns happen, and beyond that just emptiness on a consistent basis. Often times i'll see crazy overspawning near the outpost and then nothing after 2km.
I found that endor is a little more prone to these dead spawn times inside the 2km radius that you're talking about. Dunno if its a myth or my imagination, but it seems that if i destroy one lair it "wakes up" the spawn and normalizes in a few minutes. Kinda tough if you never see any around tho 
Try taking a few missions in the meantime and see if that helps repopulate the area.
Especially on dath, endor, and yavin nowadays i dont see much beyond the area of poi/cities.

No problemo on Chimmy, right after server launch at publish11.5:
- drove 1.5km south of research OP, started killing stuff. All kinds of stuff, even 5-6 raptors (60k HAM)...in no time capped rifles xp 900k
So, I don't think there is any nerf. Try singing my wookiee song (see signature) ![]()

I was just on endor today grinding some rifles. I found lots of bolle bols and mereks all over the place. I usually make a wp at the smuggler outpost, one at 0,0 and the Jinda Cave POI. Travel from smugglers to the jinda to 0,0 and back to about 1K out of smugglers and find all kinds of good stuff to kill. Now I've had it happen that nothing spawns. What I do then is a trick I heard someone say in the cantina once. You pull out a droid or other pet and things will start spawning. Worked for me 2 times already when I found nothing to kill, pulled a droid and within 2 minutes I had a ton of things to kill allover the place. Hope this helps.

Mr Topi -
read my post again = if your within 2k of a POI or Starport/city - the spawns are ok.
now - go way out into the boonies - like 10k away from the above.
you won't find spawns.
I used to hunt in the north west corner of Yavin 4 - for blacksun.
prior to JTL patches being pushed out and JTL being released - I was able to walk 10 meters and hit multiple spawns. I was able to find enough black sun spawns to make two complete suits of BH armour and two jet pack bases.
I went there yesterday - same locations - and i didn't find one spawn.
not one - one hour of walking - not one.
there is a problem.
this makes it hard to go on hunting trips sans missions. and it makes it even harder to rp your jedi away from prying eyes....
let alone trying to find the rare spawns you cannot take missions on.....

ok lol i'm going to say this just so you don't feel like a complete n00b. get missions....consant lairs of stuff and you can get them like 500-1k away max if you want to plus you're getting cash and you decide exactly what you want to kill. pick the best missions and you get good xp and good cash can't beat that. even running around wasn't as good xp as this. or even if you're imp find a good rebel main-base with tons of stuff and just kill and when it respawns do it again. great xp can be made that way if you find (like on bloodfin we have) a cluster of bases. Where a guild puts down 5-10 bases within 1k or 2k of each other either for their faction or for the pure purpose of fp grind. good xp. oh btw stop whining that you can't grind as fast as you want this game isn't supposed to be that easy i wish they made it harder instead of just standing in one place, klling 15-20 creatures without getting hit and the only thing holding me back is amount of creatures. should contain some amount of difficulty. It's too easy getting jedi you don't even need a master combat prof if you dont' want WAY WAY too easy.
