My main hunting char is a Rifleman/MCH. I realize that if I wanted to speed-kill a Krayt, I should train to be 2-Hand swords/Medic/Tkm type. I choose to be a rifleman instead.. Now.. on to my dilemma.
I enjoy a good solo hunt. While the Krayts were penned up in the graveyard, I have had no pleasure solo-hunting there due to dragon-stealing. It is extremely easy for a solo Rifleman to be out-damaged by one or more swordsmen. Loot denied.
Now that Krayts are spread out more, I went hunting solo for them again yesterday. I headed to the SW quadrant of Tatooine and found a mamma Canyon Krayt and her Juvi youngster.
I solo'd the juvi and a second spawn. I was overjoyed because I received my first-ever pearl. Happy days..
So I went and began working on momma. She had 329k ham and I had her under 220k ham about 30 minutes later. Enjoying it all. Guildchat keeps me occupied.. guildies want updates.. etc. Lot's of fun. Very patient.
In comes two swordsmen. Dragon is stolen.. I am out-damaged and loot stolen.
Isn't there SOMETHING you developeds can do to prevent this? Yes, I understand that to compete, I go TKM/Swords and dose up on buffs and grab some 80% kinetic sliced...
But I am a rifleman.
I hunt sans-armor.
I use a dab of brandy and ahrisa and am good to go.
I don't mind that it will take 2 hours to kill a krayt. I am patient.
But I have never compleyelt solo'd a canyon krayt due to dragon stealing.
Suggestions?
And I bet the first suggestion is to group up with tankers.
I hope the new armor/weapon changes will FIX this. *crosses fingers*

I don't think anything can be done about this problem but to change peoples attitude and play style. And I don't think that is gonna happen! This kind of thing happens all the time. One of the best days I ever had was running into a Kimo by myself. Ialso had battled for 30 min or so when a hunting group came along ... but ... one of the guys messaged me and said "need any help?" I said "it'sgonna take me a while but Ithink I cantake him". They said "cool" and watched for a while and then went on to find their own Kimo. Man, I wish I had their names so I could thank them for letting me go it alone and man I wish those attitudes were the norm and not the exception

Lock mobs to owner or owners group good idea! I think SOe must stop his harrasment policy (or kill steal policy) and make some game improvment.

A shame that happened to you... Fighting MOB's should be the first person/group to strike gets the creature. (With a time limit or a 1-at-a-time limit, to prevent people from running around "tagging" items and then coming back to finish them off.) The current system relies on the honor and integrity ofthe players, which is bound to end up in a let-down situation.
Let the "I pay my $15 same as you, I can do what I want" flames begin. I hope they do... it's fun to count the misspelled words.

that wouldnt be fair to melee professions though. i thought about that but if ur ranged and u chances are can shoot faster u lost the kill. i mean a rifleman would be the new favorite profession cuz u could steal loots from far away

We probably could.. but the general tactic is to fly around on a swoop until a krayt spawns on top of you. Hop off and begin whacking. No tactics at all except god Mode Buffs and Armor. They come in so fast they probably never see me on the hillside until after they are engaged.
Anyway.. I got a canyon krayt dragon last night to make up for the loss. I might try hunting them during weekdays when there are fewer groups out. Took an hour and 10 minutes to kill. Not bad. Got 11 scales.
Thanks for the replies.
