and do you know the current level of the drops?
i think 102-123 bones were still dropping yesterday.
have they gone down more? or is that the high standard?
any info as to why they did this?

I really haven't received any word on these. I've given feedback several times. The most recent feedback was that these guys seem to be a bit messed up what with not having all of the regular stats of reinforcement cores (i.e. speed modifiers, ranged mods, wounds, HAM costs). I know there was some concern about the Acklay bones and about the combat medic enhancers but I haven't been able to get word of what exactly they changed.

statement yesterday
We expect that these should be going out to the live servers tomorrow.
Geonosian Bunker: Increased the spawn time for the fire spider and the Acklay.
Geonosian Bunker: Slighty decreased the power of the fire spider and Acklay loot drops.
Geonosian Bunker: Fixed a bug preventing creatures from leaving the Geonosian bunker while in combat.
Geonosian Bunker: Fixed a bug that prevented players from getting their pets past the first room of the bunker.
Thanks,
sounds like they just toned them down or nerfed them from the wording.
it also says SHOULD BE going live tomorrow (yesterday morning) so i just don't know if it's still droping.
glad i got 2 sets of bones before this

they nerfed the damage for one reason alone....STUN batons! the bones were adding 150-200damage to stun batons since they could be used in the place of one of the components, resulting in 300+dmg stun batons, which was in their opinion unnacceptable especially for pvp. LAME LAME LAME imo.

I don't like how ackley is spawning every two hours. It is very annoying to get to that back which can take a half an hour and up and not fight ackley because someone an hour or more ago killed him. It wasn't like the back was being camped, because everyone needs to have buffs to kill ackley and the buffs wear out after 2 hours meaning the group would have to run out of the cave every two hours to rebuff. 20 minutes may of been too fast for the good loot he was dropping, but now with the nerfed loot 20 minutes seems fine. Once a group gets to the back they have at most 3 tries to kill ackley and get loot (half the time he drops nothing) then the whole group must escape and rebuff to do it all over again. Now it is just a big pain to get the loot, and some of the fun has been taken out of the cave because of it.
