Picked up about 6 different missions and all of them gave me "Target is not online", is this bug back or are these missions intact on the terms after the Jedi logs out?




Classic proof of the warnings I gave during beta to anyone who would read or listen.


The problem is simple: if you add Jedi to the terminals when they log on, but you do not remove them from terminals when they log off, you don't need a rocket scientist to tell you that eventually (12, 24, 36, 48 hours after the server has been reset)the number of missions for offline Jedi will totally swamp the small number of missions for online Jedi.


The fix is equally, even stupidly, simple: when Jedi log off, and the system is saving their status etc., call a subroutine to remove their mission from the terminals.

Isnt it when the jedi is in space? I think it used to say offline whn we went to space, but im not sure.


This system is a little hate / love - i like that i now get visits from BH's which i almost never did after passing the 170K border.


Its a mystery how they could remove our names before solving the kashyyk safeheaven problem - and what you state is true - that its not only online jedis showing up on the terminal - then this should be looked into instantly.


I like the part with rebel/imp info though, and same with only showing online targets. I remember my BH times when i had to add almost every fcking jedi on the server to my friends so i could have knowledge as to if the jedi was online and if he was imp/reb

For awhile I thought the DEVs had it backwards.(IE targets go on terms after they log) But 19 tries later I got a live one.

19? Ouch. Got lucky on #5. But what are the chances that there are this many people in space, but then again. I will admit that there is the possiblity that we could be pulling the same jedi each and everytime. What are the chances of that at 2100 CST?

Players can go offline after you picked the mission. Or they can go afk for dinner etc. Theres nothing you or SOE can do about that, since aech individual player decide when they want to play. Besides, you cant really require of your mark to stay online long enough for you to fight them? Would be nice ofcource, but remember, your mark is innocent, and when they log off, they do not know they have a BH thats very pissed on them, because they unknowingly spoiled the BHs hunt!

I would also like to add that there is a greater chance now, that you will find your target online, then before Publish 20! At least all thats on the terminals are supposed to be online, if listed!

On NOTE: There is supposed to be a bug on the terminals that have forced every single jedi in this game on the terminals. Being Offline or Online. Im not sure if this is the fact since im a jedi myself, but if it is, this bug might be the reason why your target is not online. If so, you can be sure SOE will correct it by removing all the offline jedi, plus all the jedi that does not have visibility.

There is definatly a bug where offline jedi are on the terms while the bh is searching them. When 2/3 of the missions are coming back as offline, there is no way that's a coincidence. Now I'm not aware of the jedi who should have no visiblity still being on the terms but it wouldn't surprise me.
