Well if a long time means less then a minute then I guess I was taking a long a time...I did notice that the farther away from Rancor Valley I got the less they actually disappeared. I eventually found a spot that had good spawns and I got about 50k carn meat in 2 hours or so. It is really annoying tho, I wonder if they did this intentionally to stop soloer's from staying in RV all day...

Happened to me and it wasnt on creatures i was taking to long to kill either. It only happened on dath and wasnt always limited to Rancors. Some other creatures did it as well.

This has happened to me as well. It seems to be when I am using an area attack.
If I am 1 on 1 they dont despawn.

Mine have always been 1 on 1 since I don't ever use area attacks(not really fond of them for some reason) and it has happened to me with more then Rancors as well. Everything that its happened to me with has been a wild spawn and its never happened with NPC's. Not sure if missions do this since I never run them either.

I have had something like this happen from time to time, just not to the extent that you are talking about here. Wanderhome several months back had a really good spawn of both Tat wooley and Tat Herbivore, so I was on a Bantha/Ronto killing spree. Several natural lairs or spawns went "poof" on me. It is really aggravating to have wiped the first wave, tapped the lair, have a strong respawn, and then they just disappear. I would have two or three kills down, and working on another, with several more standing around waiting in the wings. Then there is just silence as the wind blows dust into my face, while I stare at an empty landscape, going HUH?!?! And, the dollar signs in my eyes get whipped away in that same wind, tumbling away over the horizon mixed with grains of sand LOL.


It seems to me that I had read somewhere on the forums that players spawning mission waypoints may have an effect on the natural lairs, causing them to disappear regardless of what was going on at the natural lair at the time. I have no clue if it is actually true, but it makes for a good excuse, and gives me someone to blame and cuss. Even if I don't who it was.


As far as the warping the only time I have seen this has been on things like Kimo's. But I was lucky, because while they would skip hundreds of yards at a time while running away from us, I never lost sight of them for long.


I don't know that this really ties into the problem that your experiencing, because I have never seen it happen repeatedly one after another. But, I have seen similar things happen numerous times over the course of a single hunting session.

Happened to me several times Sunday morning. This was the 102M warp others experienced.


As with most of you, this happened when they were running away. I would be able to find most of them, and chase them down to deliver the final blows.


Once I noticed this I started to do posture changes / knock downs on whatever was the weakest. Then I could kill them before they could run (warp) away.


This happened with Rancors, and with other things I was fighting.

From time to time doing destroy missions from terminals the lair has despawned on me while killing like the 2nd wave, so its not just wild stuff.


One thing about natural spawns ... of anything including NPC's, there will be 4 spawns total and the final spawn doesn't last long.

Shubacca, the only time i've had this happen to me on Lowca is when fighting Ancient Bull Rancers, since as a TKM, it takes a while to drop one of these. Moster other Rancers i drop in a few seconds so they don't have time to warp. the warping problem i get is the same that i get with Kimos and Krayt. when they are nearly dead, and they start to run away, they will sometimes warp about 100m away, and i need to burst run to catch them.

I get that one too and I also am a TKM so I can kill most Rancors in a few seconds......if you ever get bored of space(I haven't but I'm bugged right now and can't kill anything that shoots at me so there is no point to even go up in space right now)let me know and I'll take you on the most annoying hunt you've ever been on...it happens to me at least 5 or 6 times every time I'm on Dath now

sure, wouldn't mind going on another Dath hunt, and should be fun with a fellow Ranger. a VERY good friend of mine (a Rebel Wookiee Master Bio-Engineer) is loving the current shift of Dath Carn meat. it isn't the best meat around right now, but she can get such large stacks of it easily that she's making tons of BE tissues and pets out of it.


plus, maybe you just need a smelly imperial Rodian to tag along to stop the warping.

I should be as long as my school internet doesn't crap out on me again. It's been pretty good the last few days which means its either going to be ok for a while or its due to go down again...
