Last night I drove from Dathomir's Trade Outpost to the Sarlaac and halfway back before I saw a single spawn (and yes, I was zig zagging and covering a lot of territory). Finally I saw one enraged reptilian flyer. I flew all around it within 300m and nothing else popped. I turned around back to the Sarlaac and eventually found a regular reptilian flyer, and nothing was around that one either. I headed back to the OP to log off and out of nowhere, 6 spawn points emerged in a 75m radius circle. It totaled about 20 MOBs, but only about 7 of them were worth real xp to me. (Jedi get next to nothing for many creatures.) So I droveN, S, E, and W within 3 kmfor another 20 minutes and found nothing.
I could've pulledmissions the whole time, but with 1km-2km travel time and 1-2 minutes to pull the right missions in the same general directions, it's a highly inefficient method. By the way, the planet was only slightly less populated than it normally is.
What have you observed about the new system, and do you have any tips for making more lairs/spawn points appear?

Fort Tusken seems to be spawning less, or at a different rate so that it appears to be less.
Many have commented at the fort that they feel there are alot less spawns within the fort - I am not a daily visitor so it didn't seem much different to me.

Well having checked on my 10 harvesters this morning on Corellia I can tell you there were a lot more spawns out. At least in the Riverlands of Corellia. At a couple of my harvesters there were 2-3 lairs with aggro creatures, made it a bit of a challenge to get everything checked.
There was so much stuff that I logged on with my combat toon and started going to town, it was awesome. That was just in the Corellia, Riverlands though...I didn't really check anywhere else.

Yeah that sounds a familiar tale, I noticed the same today around the rivers, tons of spawns. Eventually logged my combat character on to be a bodyguard formy no combatcrafter, almost never have to do that on corellia.

I've realised that spawns won't appear if you're riding your bike, you've got to get out and walk around for the spawns to appear.

Actually, on Lok, I was riding my swoop between two towns and WOW!!! spawns EVERYWHERE!!! I couldnot believe how many kept popping up. There were lots, and I was on my bike.

Yes. Try a different planet as long as the village is still in phase 3 :/.
