and all I got was 2k credits !!!! I know uber loot is rare but c'mon .... you kill something with 200k+ HAM and you get less that the payout from a mission terminal?? That doesn't even cover the cost of weapon power-ups and wear and tear on the weapons I used to take him out. Have heard how the loot system needs work now I see the truth of that sentiment. Anyone else have a similar story to share on this subjeect?

You can find them running around behind the tusken fort, where the cave entrance is. And I have also seen(knocked/incaped off my bike) just outside the squill cave usally just chilling in the heat of the tat suns.

This one was in the area of the Squill Caves. Have seen Tusken Witch Doctors there too.

This is a perfect example of what I've been griping about to deaf ears. All of the uber creatures not only should "not" be solo-able, but when a group takes them down, the groupshould be "guaranteed" a worthy prize.
My example: My buddy (Mstr Rifleman)and I (TKM/Mstr Swordsman) took down two Ancient Krayts in an hour. The first one gave us crap for loot, the second gave us tissues. We received roughly 8k xp for both in an hours' work! And now, we have one set of tissues to split between two people. That is absolutely ludicrous.
My suggestion would be lowering themaximum number of groups to 8, which the CU is doing. When a group takes down an uber creature (Ancient Krayts, NS Elders, etc.), EVERYONE gets the same thing, not necessarily the same quality, but the same thing. This would make us want togroup rather than being forced to group in the CU. AND, they need to giveusappropriate xp for doing this. I currently can get 1 mill xp in a cave inan hour if no one else is there. If it takes a group of four 15 minutes to take down a Krayt, then each member of the group should get 200k xp, not this 4k or less BS. They can base the xp on our "level".
Consequences: the only consequence would be that there is more uber loot out there to make uber weapons. This would bring down the price of weapons drastically. Well, I haveone word for that, GOOD! One of the biggest holes in this game is that if you want the cool weapon, you not only have to pay the 5 mill for it, but you also have to pay 12 mill for an ADK so it won't be gone in a month. This is morbid. SOE is trying to standardize our weapons, well, here you go. Make the uber weapons more accessible. The players that are getting these weapons are the ones that have multiple accounts. They have a pure crafter to make the credits, then they have a pure combatant who takes those credits and buys the uber weapons. A single account player gets hosed...

I don't think you should be guaranteed a good item every time you kill a high level mob. Otherwise, a group of strong people would form a group and take out a ton of high end mobs, sort of like Krayts nowadays, and soon there would be tons of great stuff that it no longer would be so great.

AND SOLO WHINERS .... /CLOSE MOUTH
im not sure if you were back in the day or not ... but ive played it all ...
do you have any idea how long it takes to get a group of idiots out on a hunting trip ...???? im not talking about you clan girlies that tickel each other ....
to get morons out and hitting the same thing takes far far far to long ........
we might as well go back to 10 min shuttle wait times and no buffs at all
(can we say death by durni?)

Basher I was ingame 2 weeks after launch and I know exactly what you mean about trying to get a group to act as a group. Just getting a group together and ready to move out is a joke. That's why I prefer the BH career and soloing my marks. Though, the 10 min shuttle can stay gone !!!

Try killing a krayt dragon ancient (400k + HAM, 95% resists) and getting nothing...

ive killed him twice and got creds both times. most challenging time was when i only had 2200 buffs, no mind buffs, and half broken armor. the next time i found him fighting a nova trooper and helped my fellow imp out.
