Well I never... LOL
Just had my first invisible mark since making MBH last October.
Ok so here is how it went down.
I got my mission from Kaadara Naboo , Gorath Galaxy.
Mark was found on Yavin IV by my arkyd droid, so off I go to yavin getting there in less then five minutes.
The mark jumped planets on me but only after a chase, I had guessed wrong and he beatme to the other outpost and shuttled off.
I sent up a second arkyd and located the mark again, on Dathomir.
I guessed wrong again but this time the mark never moves. He is at the northern out post and I'm in the south. Instead of waiting for the next shuttle I rode to the other outpost on my swoop.
Once I got near that outpost I really slowed down because of the lag. There must of been40 or more players there and most just were hanging out at the outpost. Lots of vehicles left out and many pets too.
My marks waypoint was invisible and I checked the surrounding area for 20 minutes and waited another 20 just to see if the mark would show up.
Players were flickering in and out too , sometimes there and then becomming visible again.
I'm inclined to believe that the huge lag was to blame for my mark not showing or spawning.
Time of mission was 5:00 pm central , probably one of the laggier times to play.

Got back from work tonight and attempted 7 inv 3 missions in total, 4 of which were empty. Last one was there then the second I highlighted him he vanished, which I found much more annoying than the standard bugged missions by far & that made me log off early tonight in disgust 
I've sent tickets about it and got a pasted reply telling me to just file /bugs in future, that went a long way to reassure me everything is being done to fix this asap.

I had a few bounties the other night that were not there, about 3 or 4 outta 5 or 6, cant remember the exact number. what I did realize was the ones that were disappearing were from the same mission. I started taking the "insulter of jabba" on and did the last 12 or so I needed to finish inv 4, and didnt have one bugged mission when I did that. May be problems with certian missions. Or maybe I just got lucky.

The fact we've gone this long without a hotfix let alone a "we're looking into it" brush-off speaks volumes for the attitude SOE seems to take with this class.

Had my first "twin mark" just now, right before the shut-down.
Found my mark on Endor, got into position, fired of my carbine, down she goes but OH NO! There's ANOTHER of her! Who is STILL SHOOTING AT ME!
Luckily I managed to set a bleed on the fallen one and lured the twin away. By the time the fallen one was able to get to her feet, she decided she was more interested in picking on my poor swoop than chasing me down. The twin almost got me (couldn't get her to fall down... maybe the knockdown-timer thingy counted both of them as one person?), but I managed to finish her off just in time.
Went back to her twin, who had meanwhile bled down to about 100 HP while beating my swoop to within an inch of it's life, and finished her off. Only got mission credit for the first (who was actually the SECOND I attacked) but got XP and factionfor both.
Neither had loot... it would have been interesting to see if they had the same loot on them.
A dumb bug, but I must admit it was pretty exciting.
Much better than last night, when I spent a jillion credits and minutes flying to Dantooine to find that my mark wasn't there. I ended up picking on a "force crystal hunter" out of boredom and frustration, and he felled me in 1 attack.

Famous last words there from me, since the patch today I've done 7 level 31 missions all of which have worked and they had a 0% success rate for me before - thanks for fixing the problem.

Fixed a problem that caused spawning to stop on some planets.
Is this the fix we have been waiting for? I haven't had the chance to go onto Farstar and test it yet, but it may well be. Here's hoping
Hasn't helped me one bit, as a matter of fact I think the empty waypoint BH mark problem is worse now.
2 out of every 3 mission I;ve done today ended in an empty waypoint, mostly on Endor and Talus, before the patch only 1 out of every 4 or 5 missions would give me a empty waypoint.

I did 8 missions out of kaadra, and it took me to various planets. Out of the 8, 6 were dead waypoints... no mark. That's at least 2400 xp and a good amount of money that was lost because we have to pay for shuttles. If we don't get any fix by publish 7, I'm not only dropping the profession, I'm quitting the game.

Looks like this patch is really bad this time.
Out of 5 missions tonight, 3 waypoints without marks (used Ranger Tracking 3 to find that they were 0m from my location), 1 good mission to Corellia, and 1 mission that just disappeared with a "Mission Incomplete" message when I got within 200m of the mark.
Things were a little better last night before the patch. I actually ran 6 missions and only 1 was missing the mark at the waypoint.
Please fix this...

Hay guys and gals. I think they fixed it. I ran missions all day long and they all spawned. JOY!

I have gotten plenty of empty waypoints. Every mark on Rori has jumped planet almost instantly after I land on the planet. I retrack to another planet just to find the waypoint is empty.
Lots of empty Lok, Rori, Naboo missions.
