[Scosciss]

Increased spawn time = longer in between spawns, I would think. So they toned it down.

[Seret Sajet]

Well loot drops have certainly increased. Last night I fought a minimal amount of NPCs and looted 2 imperial disks, 2 rebel disks, an SG82, a DH17, a Stone Knife, a treasure map, and some Resillince compound from some NPCs. Though NOT A SINGLE LOOT KIT ITEM! Thats just my luck.

But this story does have a happy ending.
After fighting a Gurk King I looted 4, yes 4, Gurk King Hides. WOOT!!

Increased spawn at the squill cave means that there will be more jedi camping the Geo Caves now.

# NPCs will use special abilities in combat.

well I can verify this works extremely well

I went to the force hunter crystal cave last night, cuz I had never been there...

first opponents, untrained wielder of the darkside...

so I buff up and decide, wth, let's see what these bozos can do, and three rush me....


they come at me with a variety of melee weapons, ad are hackin away, and I'm bringing the beatdown, then, ZAAAAAPPP

bolts of force lightening come out of one and are dancing on my skin....but these guys aren't too tough for me, and they go down....

looted red crystal....hmm this could be fun....

so now I'm all cocky, and I venture a little further, and this time 4 aggro me....except these were force hunters, not untrained bozos


then encircle me and the lightening is jumpin from the start, except now it stuns, and dizzies, and blinds (not all at once but they were all zappin at one time or another) and the new move I encountered, force Choke!...now it doesn't do the movements of a choke (ie vader) but it says "you are choking) and it's a DOT damage like bleed....

so I was still doin alright, until I got kd'ed, then I couldn't even get up....eventually i expired...

so I clone and decide to go back, that was fun

I buff and get all ready, can't buff mind as much since I'm still full fom before (how can my clone be full devs, duh)

I go in and /taunt just one hunter, and just he aggros and we start duking it out...more lightening and choking...but my mind keeps going down from specials and his attacks, so I go to run since I was right by entrance and there was my speeder, well the tenacious bastard follows me out of the cave, and keeps following me, and keeps following me....at over 1200m oustide of the cave I realized he was gona follow me to the ends of dantooine, so I get off the bike and wait...

we duke it out a bit more, he blows up my bike with a force lightening cone attack on me, and it's coming down to my mind bar or his health bar....and I win out in the last second...WOOOOOOT...cheering for myself...long fun fight.....loot the guy


nothin


but was a fun area...will be good to go back there with a group

I can confirm the special attacks and switch weapons patch.

Fought some Canyon Corsairs, doing just fine. I watch them switch from carbines to pistols to axes and suvival knives. That was pretty funny to see.

Then immediately after I heal myself I get incapped. My action bar is wiped out with one single shot. Bastard used Leg Shot 2 on me! Grrrrrrrrrr.

And then a roar was heard over the Dantooine sky:

"OH FUCK AND NOW I HAVE TO WALK?!?!?!?!"

nope, i figured this might be a possibility, so I used my BACKUP speeder

still had my swoop

This exact thing is the reason all of my characters have a crate of Swoops in their backpack.
