I finally had gotten a mission and was trying over and over to get the seeker to give me the name trying different things ive been reading on the forums to get it to work .. My seeker would find the mark but not give me the name and I could tell from the location that the mark was in a house or cantina in a city .. I went to Theed and kept trying the seeker droids ... i got frustrated and walked away whil i had a seeker out looking and when i come back to my computer i hear a saber being used .. about this time i get the name from my droid LOL! the only time ive gotten a name so far was with the mark within visual sight.. heck I cant even get an online jedi anymore


The mark I was after was being chased and doing fretty well against what looked like 2 BH's already .. and killed one but I jumped in and helped finish off the Mark ... gave half of the earnings (226k) to the other surviving BH and walked away happy until I logged on tonight and couldnt find an online Mark.


grrrrrr

WOW been a long time since a Dev has posted directly on the BH forum, and it turns into a flame test, sigh.

I have been having the same issue with not getting the name.

My plan of attack,

After i uplink the bio data i swoop back to kadara and await the probot update for planet.

I think select the most obvious heaviest use SP and shuttle there from Naboo.

I immediate after loading cntrl-v and drop a Waypoint on the last know position and then use a seeker with the 'SEEK' option.

In the last 10 hunts when the jedi were actually online, Ive had 5 that i never got a name on them, however on other i have, so it seems broke to some regard. However, im able to track them fine, name really doesnt matter that much to me, with the exception of a handful of jedi I know and like for one reason or another and simply dont hunt, but they will allways duel me for the thrill of a the hunt.

pull a seeker out and use "seek target" when youre 1000m away from target and you will get the name..

I know many BH's are in the habit of doing nothing but tracks because it doesnt cost you a droid.

3 Jedi missions, all 3 were online. Once I arrive on the planet given to me by the probe droid I launch 6 total droids.

1 seek
5 seek and track

I get the name everytime while the other 5 continue tracking.

I love how when BH's ask a question they get a dev response when Jedi ask a question we are told to go touch ourselves where we pee.

well, since Pub 20 I have done solely BH missions:

the results:


-38x dropped mission just after accepting it as target was 'offline'


-4x got the message that the target was offline during the hunt.

this was wrong as 3 of the targets were at the last recorded waypoint grinding, 1 was actually offline.

(bug?)


-2x out of 29 missions that showed the jedi was indeed online I received a name.

this was after sending numerous seeker droids.....at the fist mission I got the name after the 3rd seeker.

at the 2nd mission I received the name after I sent the 1st seeker.

both names were given when using the option -seek-.

Are you hitting a planet and doing a seek? In most cases, yes. Out of about7 missions,I only had oneoccurrence of Seeker droid giving me the name. In all cases I did things in the same order,except one (see below).

Are you hitting a planet and doing a track? I usually seek before tracking, so that I get the name before. However, when I realized it was not working properly, I tried once to first track, then when tracking gets lost (after a few waypoint updates), I tried a Seek. I did not get the name this way either.



If you do a seek before you track do you get a name? In most cases, no.


If you do a track before seek do you ever get a name? I tried only once, but it did not give me the name.


I know many BH's are in the habit of doing nothing but tracks because it doesnt cost you a droid. That's true (and doesn't really make sense nor help the droid engineering market).


One of our Server programmers has been unleashed on the target not online problem. Good, because this oneis very annoying (the no name issue can be tolerated for a moment, but the online/offline bug is very frustrating and time consuming for us).




See my replies above.

No

Are you hitting a planet and doing a track?

Yes and immediatlyafter that I do a seek.

Don't know,I never tried.

If you do a track before seek do you ever get a name?

Sometimes no. I noticed that if the jedi is afk and cloak sometimes you don't get the name.

Pls, all of jedi. Stop asking somenthing off-topic. Open new thread and if dev are interested they will read and aswer on that.
