I was just on rori seaching for a chemical spawn,, found a nice one really flate and 79% ! who says rori is hard to place harvesters,, errr wait wrong forum j/k
Well i was on rori, and i was looking for chemical, but thats not the point.. the point is i saw zero spawns in the entire 2 hours i was there. Well wait,, i lied there was thugs around reutset or what ever that northern city is. I saw a post a while back that said rori was screwed and i was there a month ago it was fine one day and a few days later i hunted the same thing and could only get critters if i used terminals,, now what self respecting ranger uses terminals??
Is this crap still going on on other servers? the last i hunted was radiant, and this time was chimaea. I got a hot line on some 50 cpu herb meat, but i think im just gonna head to lok and kill gurks and take the 20 i know i can find a ton of them there /grin even with out tracking..
Any word from the devs on this one? Mr ranger corrispondent can you make the devs fix this /grin. to me its totally unacceptable to have the spawns on an entire planet screwed up for a month.What they dont care cuase its rori? People dont like rori? i love rori and would trade spawns on Rori for dantooine any day of the week, i love the swamps. If the spawns on dantooine were screwed this long people would be in an uproar. Why are we not complaining more about this?

Not sure myself, but when I was driving to and from my harvesters on Rori two weeks ago, I didnt come across a single spawn. And the drive to and from the Rebel Outpost was about 6km.

I was on Rori just yesterday (on the Chilastra server) looking for Rorian avian meat (which incidentally has now migrated from the uber meat mentioned on SWG Creature resource) and the only MOBs around were immediately outside the cities and POI. The rest of the whole planet was safer than Tatooine and i drove in a huge circle from the Imperial hyperdrive facility, southwest south, east, northeast and north back to the IHF.I *very* occasionally saw a swamp cat spawn. nothing else though. i just assumed it was like that. There must be something up with it then in general.

the interior is a barron wasteland with puddles of whater everywhere all the spawns seem to hang out twards the "edges" of the map. Talus is almost as bad in some areas.

rori is not densely populated as the load screen says but is rich in resources. take missions if you really want to find creatures OR go to the mountains, there are creatures in the mountains people, there really are!
however that is not to say i do not understand your dilemma. i myself wonder how people gather the resource information on creatures who are not around.it amazes me that they can knowthe qualities of all the creature resources but yetthey do so the creatures must be available.

About two months ago, I was pleased to find that Talus' spawns *had* been fixed, and were indeed so rich that I had to clear lairs every time I set down harvs.
I went back about three or four weeks ago, and it was a ghost town--again. Rori and Talus are like the redheaded stepchildren of the galaxy already. They might get more player love if you could travel, say, from Dantooine to Talus, Tatooine or Lok to Rori, etc. And if the spawns were fixed.

FYI: North east city is Restuss. The other one is Narmle. You need to have traffic of some sort to generate the spawns, one person isn't enough to do it. NPC's, however, have some static spawns that don't need traffic... How long have you been playing this game? Please, I didn't mean that in a bad way, but the devs have outlined that it takes some sort of traffic to trigger spawns and too much triffic will take the resorces away from the spawn system.

Ive been playing since launch.. I hunt in the wilds and never do missions.. I normally travel where there is not even anyone in the area, i do player searches and no one shows up.. sure they might not be searchable but when youi get closer to a starport or even near citys they always do. Even on the far easter side of yavin 4. or the mountains of naboo,, or the south west of endor where i know people havent been atleast in a while there are spawns.I am on late night when server trafic is very very light.. but these problems have been also on saturdays when a serch pops up 20 + people.
They are definatly broken. Dantooine has had this problem in the past along with a few other planets, check patch notes you will see, Spawns fixed on"XXXXX" I tend to be where others are not. Even running back and forth with a group and camping wont get those critters poping. Besides on the server im on there are 5 big player cities on rori, and diong a serch showed people in the area. Poeple are always going in and out of the bat cave, yet there is nothing there.
Ive hunted on Rori many many times,, this is definatly a new problem. like i said i was there one day and it was fine, 2 or 3 days later it was barren. Also the hide i was hutning that had been in shift for a good week when i was hunting the first time was still there about 3 weeks later. To my knowlegde there is no resource that stays in shift for over 3 weeks and could be a symptom of the same problem. Ill go back today just for the hella it and check to see if its shifted yet.

They say it's that way, but I wonder. I've been through spots on Tatooine where no one would go (because I'm just funny that way) and found spawns. Maybe not a lot, but enough to hunt, and more than I do within 2k of Dearic or Restuss. Maybe it's tied to planet population as well?

Rori and Talus have been busted for months with Endor being fixed just after JTL. Oddly enough after the release of JTL the spawns on Tatooine, Lok, Endor, and parts of Naboo increased on average of 250% with Endor seeing the biggest increase in spawns. I recall first playing this game back in July of 2003 and spending a week or so exploring each planet. It never ceased to amaze me the amount of wild life and natural spawns that seemed to be plentiful everywhere you looked. As the months went by so did the spawns as it became harder to find spawns located in the center of the map. This was/is rather upsetting as originally the centers of the maps and certain regions have traditionally housed some of the rare and highest level creatures for the individual planets.
Sure as some suggest we can pull missions but that's not really the way of the Ranger. Rangers are the outdoorsman so to speak; able to wonder off in the wilderness only to be seen some time later to trade off their resources that they've gathered while away from civilization. We shouldn't have to depend on running endless missions to pull resources for our customers as this consumes extra time add to the fact that resource drop rates are borked beyond belief in this game. Aside from all of that, some of my fondest memories are of the times I ventured off into the wild with little skill at hand and survived several day long (playing only 4hours a night) trips around planets not to mention all the guild hunts we used to do for xp and resources.

not to discount what has been said about the traffic thing but i was on endor around 3 am and had plenty of my carni meat to hunt and never saw a soul. i did a /who and got three names so i dont know if the traffic thing is a fact or not. and yes rori is empty of natural spawns on chilastra server as well even with a /who= 10 names.

It comes and goes like a tide. Sometimes it's rich, sometimes it really is bare, and a lot of the time it's somewhere in between.
I used to live on Rori, right down at the south edge of the map. The 6k run from the rebel outpost down to the homestead took forever and, near the starport I'd see a 'reasonable' level of spawn, the further south the less there was, till I got just past my house, maybe 500m from the edge of the map and I'd find all manner f goodies lurking back there.
So, near towns with a regular traffic flow, spawns, in the middle, where its more deserted, very little. Some static spawn points that I could go to and find 'something' but most semed to be related to the level of activity locally.
Having said that, I went up recently (past month) and it was pretty ghastly. Next to nothing was out. The big herd of torton had gone, one static spawn still seemed to be there but it was just a pair, no herd. Figuring it was cos I was on a bike I walked out to the old house and, apart from some skanky bugs, there was literally nothing.
