Thread: Good bye krayting. What to do now?

Greetings,

As everyone trying to solo even a juvenile krayt post-publish 24 must have noticed how hard it has become. Due to krayts using pet specials like pet armor break or snares. Still, most of us would be able to kill a juvi 1on1, however it is quite impossible now to attack anything in krayt populated areas 1on1. With canyon krayts wandering in to defend the juvi, most people have to run and lose aggro on one of the krayts. Due to the pointless and hugely unbalancing snare/movement buff changes, and with the huge power that the krayts' snare attack has, getting away from a krayt is now close to impossible. Even better, ancients seem totally invulnerable to force suppression or force wave. This all could be handled, but thekrayts have the nasty habit of spawning all over the place. I had an ancient spawned on me countless times, and now, imperilling feint'ed and hampstering attacked they guarantee an instant trip to the cloner. I've tried it with a master squad leader, and fully buffed. With huge pain, and burning most of my Force, we managed to kill a canyon krayt.. 5 secs before an ancient spawned on us, and sending the unlucky msl to the cloner.

Now i'm not suggesting that krayts should be easy or anything, but lower level krayts HAVE to be solo-able. There was never a problem of them being to easy, being afk camped, because if I wasn't watching, I could have been easily killed by a juvi pre-pub 24 too. But.. With no premium pearls, the only way to get a half-decent saber is to farm loads of pearls, and tune them all hoping for some luck.. Tuning 100+ pearls has given me the saber of 630 max dmg and 30 force cost... Pre-pub 24 I was killing krayts in 60% of my playing time, hoping for a slightly better saber, mostly solo, because in groups you have to split the pearls.. which makes the process even slower.

My problem now is that since I can't solo krayts effectively (not dying 50% of the time) and since I am full temp (no grinding) and since there is no FRS in any form (no content) and since I'm European and getting a group for anything is very hard due to time zones, I have nothing else to do other than sitting in Theed as an overt and yawning. I loved this game, but the better I became the less I liked it. I wish we all remained the noobs hunting squills out of AH unbuffed...


Btw I don't think this pub will last much longer than pub 22 did...

I was having trouble trying to figure out something to do w/o feeling burnt out about it anyway. At least City of Villians comes out next week!

I wouldn't mind the new Krayt powers if they dropped premies. Would be worth the effort.

You have no clue.

Content would have less bugs if LA didn't enforce strict deadlines.

"Good bye krayting". Krayts have been semi-useless since the CU, they were ok to hunt before the Bounty Hunter npc revamp, after that patch they have been officially useless...
