You took a great game and ruined it with ROTW. Making these new weapons quest rewards, the one thing we had to have fun with was the variety of weapons and now you are taking that out of our hands, has made me think about going down to one account.

maybe its a little too far with the weapon loots , however its not giving the power to the ws or the looter (if in limited schematics looters drive up prices) a ws quest like RIS would have been a nice balance

Yeah so this is thethird time this has happened... I'm on the last Empirial Yavin mission where I go to the Endor system and protect transports... I don't even know how many I'm supposed to protect, because I never make it to the end... everytime I finish a mission, it gives me another.. and another... and another... and another...


but the real problem is, I play late at night... so for thethird time, I've gotten really far, thinking maybe one more transport and I'll finally get to train for tier 3... and then I get a message saying the server will shut down in 15 minutes... and the server shuts down and I lose again...


I mean, this mission takes well over an hour to complete and you need to have at least two other people with you. It's hard enough to find anyone to fly with me late at night, so I hang out and wait for a friend to come on, get him to join me, go try to find another pilot to help, start the mission, protect a hundred transports for two hours and then the server shuts down...


so, the easy answer is, "Do the mission earlier." Yeah, I know. I don't even start thinking about pulling a mission until after 1am central usually... then an hour of finding someone, chit-chat, finding someone else, getting to the mission, killing 50 guys and whoops time for shutdown. It just sucks. And I wasted two hours of two other peoples' time, so I feel like a jerk.


I understand the server needs to shut down for maintenance... I guess my biggest problem here is... the mission will NOT END. It goes on forever! Sure, I like a challenge, I have no problem with a hard mission, but two hours of the same thing over and over? Oh, and having tier 4 ships that have nothing to do with my mission wander over and attack me between mission assaults is GREAT fun too. Not to mention the times when another guy's mission gets put in the same bit of space as mine, so I'm chasing guys I can't shoot half the time.


It would be one thing if I failed because I wasn't good enough and got killed... but losing because of this crap is pointless and frustrating.


So if any Gorathserver Ace pilots want to help me move on with my life, send me a /tell, my name is Bakka.


end of vent.

Are you *sure* you are not running Duty missions ?! Doesn't sound like any of the missions I'm familiar with.. try going to the Admiral at Theed Palace and see if he will be kind and give you the destroy 30 Rebels in Kessel mission, you may have finished and not realised it - I'm assuming here that you are 4/4/4/4 and not mis-reading the text from the trainer?

Dude... you are on a duty mission.

All you need to do to bypass it is to get the xp you need to learn your next box.

Go to kessel, kill some stuff... quit wasting time with those transports... there will be plenty of babysitting to come in Tier 4.

My XP is maxed out, I'm at 2/2/2/2 and I can't train anywhere. It's not a duty mission. Everytime I go back to the guy on Yavin, he tells me to go finish my mission before I talk to him again.


It starts with a freighter protect mission, then I have to recapture a freighter, then more protect, at some point I have to incap and dock a rebel recon to get some information from his ship, and on and on.I've run this mission with a 3/3/3/3 friend who was given this same mission and couldn't finish it, so she ended up going inquisition.


If this is just a matter of training a tier 3 box, let me know who the heck will do it. Because my commanding officer guy sure won't.

Yeah, some of the missions are just way too long and there's no way to take a break in the middle. When those random spawns wander into your mission action that drags the fight out even longer since you gotta spend time just trying not to get whacked. They need to break the missions up so you don't have to do the whole thing in one sitting.

Yea all SS missions are very long and require a lot of escorting


Theres nothing really you can do about it. All the advice i can give you is if your in trouble hyper to another sector of the same system and when the next mission in the string of misisons is in another system you can log out or land or something b4 going to that system
