Whatever they did yesterday fixed the problem entirely for me, I did inv3 missionsall day from the restart until the early hours and every single mission was a success.

About 3000 m away from my marks wp something aggroes me. I notice its an npc and I'm thinking theres no way this is my mark because it's so far away from the waypoint the droid gave me. SO it take him down and what do you know, it was my mark. So jsut out of shear luck I happen to find my mark driving by him on my speeder and I was very lucky he aggroed me or I wouldnt have even stopped. I'm not expecting to be this lucky every time so something needs to be done about this. I'm thinking other people who's marks are not at the wp's they get are propbably just as far away as mine was and it is nearly impossible to track down without some form of luck.






Thats just crazy, and some kind of update is in order?

Update? Of course not. This bug was in the game at release and they still haven't even ACKNOWLEDGED it yet... It's as if they refuse to believe it exists, even though there have been hundreds, probably thousands of bug reports, posts, replies to this thread all saying the exact same thing.

Im doing Inv IV just now and I had bugs all the time getting 1 out of 4 to work. There was never a Mark at the WP. So now I get Ranger Tracking, as soon as I get the WP on my radar at 512m I do People Tracking and the mark pops up on the search I travel to the WP and the marks not on the Orange triangle but approx 50m away from it.
So far using Ranger Tracking before reaching the WP ive had 10 out of 10 missions a success.

Hope this helps a bit for those who are stuck.

I took a mission out of Kaadra and it sends me to Dathomir. So i get to Dathomir and send out my seeker droid and start heading out to the first wp. THe seeker droid finds the mark and it turns out to be right in the outpost that I just left. So I head back there and there is no mark, no npc, nothing. So i read in the forums that they move around a lot and are not neccessarily at the waypoint. I think it cannot be too far away so i hop on my swoop and start doing circles around the outpost looking for my mark. No success. I send out another seeker droid and it gives me the same wp.

I agree that this isa major bummer.


I play for 4 hours and get maybe 2 missions done. the rest are not to be found. I have worked hard to get what I have in this game and have no plan on leaveing it. I am currently 2/4/4/4 so no much to do other than hunt marks, just wish they were were my droids say and here is a sample of how I hunt .


Mission pick up Kadarra Naboo


get bio and run out to launch probe


launch probe and upload data then run to straport and waite for update


get update that mark is onwhatever planet (had problems on all the planets so far )


buy ticket and waite for shuttle (waite time anywhere from a few sec to 10 min)


get to planet and launch seeker while rideing to original mark location


get updated location and adjust heading to that location, Launch second seeker


get to location and get update that mark has moved to new location


launch 3rd seeker and go to new location


get to location and get update that mark is there (no mark)


launch 4th seeker and ride in big circle around location given by 3rd seeker to try to find mark


updated location same spot as 3rd


delete mission go back for another

Last night I tried two missions (Investigation 2). The first two marks were on Tatooine, and I had no trouble with them spawning. The third was on Dath, and that one didn't spawn (though there were to enraged rancors by the waypoint, one ~70 meters north, the other ~70 meters south). I think the latest patch may have helped a little, but there are still many issues with the spawning system.

I only did one mission last night and my mark was there...I was so happy I went over to hug him...then he started shooting at me so I killed him....then I remembered thats my job...im not just an inter planetry waypoint patrolman.....anyway I read in an earlier post to always take fugitive pirates...so I did...along with the rest of the BH 2+ proffesion I work out of Kaadra and my lovely mark last night was on Talus (a risk if he wasnt there coz Talus is a 2 hop stop) and I caught him just as he entered Deadra....hooyah for warcry.


Oh and then I went to Dathomir and joined the galactic push for the extinction of rancors....killings so many I went through two carbines (with a successful repair in there too).


Cheers, Wargfang

4/4 missions today that I attempted were bugged. Only 4 because each bugged mission made me more and more disgusted with the whole game.


1st - Taken from Kadaara, mark on Endor. Mark wandered into the battlefield north of the science outpost and stopped updating. I searched the area within 500m around and no sign.


2nd - Taken from Kadaara, mark on Talus. After first seeker update mark WP jumped into Narmle. Biked into Narmle to find no sign of mark. Attempts at bringing the mark out with ae attacks did not work.


3rd - Taken from Kadaara, mark on Yavin. After first seeker update mark WP jumped into the opposite outpost. Finished biking to the outpost and a mark was stuck in the wall where my mark's wp was. However, the mark in the wall was not my mark and mine never showed.


4th - Taken from Kadaara, mark on Talus. After first seeker update mark WP jumped into Narmle. Arrived in Narmle to find no sign of mark. Attempts to bring themark out with ae attacks and quick relog did not work.


Maybe it's Kadaara that's the problem... I see a definate trend that most of the bugged missions come out of there. This fits since it's the most popular place to grab missions. However, has anyone had as bad a ratio of bugged missionsgrabbing them from other locations?

I have had 6 diffrent missions that have had no mark at the end. I am BH (2/0/3/2). I tried Ranger tracking and found nothing. Mostly they where on Endor and Dathomir and Yavin 4. It really sucked I ended up barley coming out with 100 credit profit at the end of the night.

The successful missions I've had have been on Tat, Yavin, and Lok, with a bugged Dath mission. I'm starting to just apport if the target is on Dath or Endor.
