A guild mate and I followed a peko peko albatross for like...200 meters. We were going to attack it as soon as more able-bodied guild mates arrived.

Then, out of nowhere, the thing just disappears.

WHY!?

"WHY!?"

Dynamic spawns have a set life span...

• If they are not engaged in combat before that timer runs outs, the system simply removes the spawn to make room for something else.

You probably ran into a older spawn whichhad reachedthe end of its time in the system.

Been there, difference was got incapped had bleed on the critter and POOF!!! like about 10 sec to recovery and 2 more shot and he was mine. But, guess what? About 2 sec after incap ends another POPs up in the same spot and the same thing happens. Both times where on my first incap!!!

P.S. When the third one spawned in the same pattern I said THE H.....

Aye... I've had the system remove creatures while I was fighting them as well. =P

One day everything will work perfectly... Yes... One day. =)

Happened to me with a rogue fambaa that I had almost killed.... I was waiting out the incapp when suddenly it despawned, 30 seconds after combat had ended.

yes this happened to me yesterday, ny long grueling search for a Gorax was over, i called my friends over and within 5 minutes they got there and then the gorax went *poof*. It took me 3 months to find one and it was gone, i could have cried.

Try fighting an Albatross for 20 minutes with a group of 5, each of you using pets until they drop and cloning at least once, only to have a Gungan get the kill shot.

ARGH.

Whew! Good to know it's not just me.

the only time i've ever seen the mythical ppa, it was fighting a pack of bolle bols. i walked to 100m to watch the fight, bolles dropping all over the place. suddenly, im shooting it. I do a quick /exa and it does an aoe special, I noticed my hud had about 4 status ailments on it. so i died, ran back out to it and it was gone, no dna for me.

To add to the wails:

I was fighting a piket, had him mostly dead, ran away to recover...once he stopped attacking, I followed him back to the lair, where I watched him lie down--AND THEN DISAPPEAR, only to be replaced by a full-HAM version of the same animal. The lair was still there, the other spawns stayed where they were. He must've just went to the medical center in his lair.
