Thread: Great Gorax Hunt of Lowca (2005)
I was just finishing off the Master Weapon Crafting Techniques skill box on my other account when a friend told me to switch over to Oreet, and meet her on Endor. She said some of her guild have been killing Gorax all day, and that I should come get in on the action.
So I got trained on that Weaponsmith box (now i just have Master Munitions Crafting and i'll be a Master Weaponsmith), and logged out of Teero and into Oreet.
Suited up in my Ubese armor, and headed to the Endor Smuggler's Outpost. Cloned and Insured all my stuff, and turned on the waypoint I was emailed.
As I neared the waypoint, I kept spotting Goraxes just chillin' in the desert. I thought to myself "This is gonna be a good day". And believe me, I was right.
One of Shubacca's guildies got me buffed up, and i threw down a few shots of "liquid courage" (Vasarian Brandy), pulled my trusty Long Vibro Axe out of my backpack, and ran towards the crowd of hunters beating on a Gorax's foot.
After a few minutes of battle, we prevailed, and Gorax had fallen.
Shub set up a HTFB so we had somewhere to relax and get some mind buffs, but Gorax wasn't impressed. One of them ran in and stomped on the camp, thus crushing all of it.
During the hunt, I helped kill at least 10 Gorax. I died twice during the battle, but there was a doctor on hand who was able to resesetate me, and rebuff me.
Shubacca said they had been at this all day.
I can honestly say that last night's Gorax Hunt was by far the most fun i've had in game in a long time.
On the Gorax hunt I went on we had three of them stomping on us at once - it was maddness!

No you would not at all mate. Yet again SOE have messed up. Why the hell do they have so much trouble with spawns ??
They spawn at such a stupid rate now. Hence why gorax shards are now near worthless (on trade forums).
No fun in finding a group of 5 and each one respawning 4 or 5 times... this is what we found when it was announced the Gorax were loose again.
To sum it up :
Too easy to kill (as with 95% of the game)
Too frequent a spawn

Well, if they have the same sort of relationship with their servers that I have with my PC it goes something like this:
I tell PC to do something. PC does something else. I stare at PC for awhile hopelessly. I press some buttons. PC crahses. I take my frustration out on hapless keyboard. PC secretly records effects of keyboard pounding and introduces it into the code later.
Sound familiar to anyone?

Thank you! I needed that!
Oh, and I believe I have witnessed both the process and the resluts of Paks reeducating her keyboard...she is scary.

Not a party pooper. As much fun as it was, me and my guildmates must have killed 20 or 30 Gorax yesterday and collected over 100 shards. Thats just frickin insane. When we left they were still spawning. I think they definately need to cut back the spawn rate on those bad boys. We never had to walk more then 200m to find a Gorax and had multiple Gorax on our butts more then once. Now if they want to spawn 2 or 3 in the same area to make it harder to kill those ugly bozos then fine, but don't make it an unlimited spawn.

Whether the spawn rate was too high or not, it was really fun. i had a blast.
