This doesn't seem to happen to my friends, but when I make a camp, and go out to fight, usually, I can come back to rest in my camp, but sometimes, it breaks my camp down saying I have engaged in combat, and gives me 20 xp only.

However, my camp stays up, it just has no owner. When I come back into it, it says you have entered camp, not my name, and I can't disband it or examine it, like its gone free from my control but still in game.

My friends say they never get this, but I do often.

Is this normal?

It happened to me once. I always target the datapad thingy when I make a camp. Then if I have to leave quick, I hit Tilde and disband the camp. It is rather annoying when your camp get's bugged because you can't build a new camp nearby.

I was dancing in my camp, some MOB started shooting at me, I killed the mob, then sat down in my camp

went to check the camp stats and the camp dissapeared

mentioned it in chat and was told that camps break if combat starts

That happened to me when me and my friend both built camps close to each other and then we kept running back and forth from the camps to get our visitor count up. After so long i got a message that my camp was now abandoned and i lost control of my camp and only got 20 exp, butthe campremained. My friend though didn't lose his camp and he got 300+ exp. Oh well what are ya gonna do.

Yes this happens, if you enter combat, even if you didnt initiate it, the camp disbands itself. I do beleive this is by design.

I propose that the higher level camps, even if its the Ranger ones, be more perminant. Meaning, if I engage in combat it wont disband. Also, it should not disband if I'm still within say 20-30 m of it. This way myself, or hunting party, can keep hunting nearby animals, and I dont have to keep making a camp. Not to mention it messes with the xp gain, and waists resources of used camps.

I was in a camp with group trying to rest up, got attacked by Thugs, and as soon as one started shooting me, when I was in the camp, the camp went a way. This happened a bout 4 times in a row, we get attacked from afar, camp goes away. I not only got very little xp from this, but waisted 4 camps.

The camps are supposed to break-down if you're in combat, that's how it's been since early Beta III. I usually like when the camp accidentally stays up, because then I get more experience out of it. I've always been able to disband it afterwards, though, that is another bug I haven't had to deal with since late Beta III. /bug it is the best and most direct answer, though. Just /bug it.

Yes, I think the bug is when the camp accidently stays up.

It is supposed to disband automatically if you leave it for too long, or if you enter into combat.

I agree that certain higher level camps should be available even after you engage in combat. For hunting reasons and such. I don't think that all camps should "shutdown" after engaging in combat. When I read a forum post in the beta stages of the game the devs made it sound like that you could come about a camp that had been left by a scout in the wilderness. And since getting in game I have never once found an abandoned camp due to the fact that they disappear once left, that just ain't cool. They should disappear, but I mean what if your not a scout(for the small % that didn't get novice scout) and your soloing, wouldn't you be delighted to wondered about a camp when exploring Endor?

Just my 2 cents,

Imagine the server clutter if that were so, though. Ugh, i don't wanna' think about it.

Strange .. is this new?

Yesterday I had set up my camp after being jumped by some mound mites ... bloody things are going to die ... and a group hunting dewbacks joined me .. the fighting continued around the camp with a few of them inside it healing. But it stayed up.

And again last week Wed, myself and a wookie buddy were out running missions, he set up camp and it hung around while the ... I forget the name .. big toads decided to come chomp on us. Camp stayed up again.
