Bounty Hunter Archive

Well I am so sorry that we are all going through this but it is good to know that we are comming togther as a community (like we always have) on this matter

here is a new one just happened on endor track him into the water and then the mission disapeears out of my datapad lol I think it is getting better!

Tried again today, from Talus. Same deal, my mark was on Naboo and a no show again. However, since I was on Naboo, I made a trip up to Kaadara to try it there. No problem, my mark was near the waypoint, I tracked him down and sent him on his way. I think Talus is part of the problem, at least on my server.

Well i may have a sort of a solution, I think you need a second person to spawn, I had an empty waypoint, flew 1000M away, came back, still empty, made a camp sat there for 20min waiting for my ranger friend to come do tracking. The minute he showed up, the mark spawned on top of me!

Not holding my breath (about it getting fixed) - I'm sure Tanks HAS reported it, since they refuse to visit our forums, but I seriously doubt they give a sh!t anyway - obviously something this last patch seriously focked up the spawn code, and the fact that, a week later, it hasn't even been acknowledged, let alone fixed, speaks volumes.

Yesterday I had two different mission that spawned two of my marks (two targets with the same name standing virutually on top of each other) Ofcourse having to kill two and get xp for just the first one is much better then traveling to Lok, Endor, Yavin4 and not haveing any marks within 300 M. of the waypoint and the waypoint not updateing to a new location; of which I have had about a half dozen mission like that in in the last few days

Yes I too have fallen victim to the empty spawn point. I am working on INV III and take my missions from Kadaara. I had 2 out of10 have empty WPs last night. I believe both were on Naboo. One was near Moenia the other near Bella Vista. I sent multiple seekers at each and they came up with the same WP each time. I did the move 200 meters away and come back trick, usually works with invisible players, no luck here. I may have to recruit a friend to come alone and see if this solves the problem as mentioned above. Haha and I thought I was on my way to MBH in a week...ok a week and a half! Well I was until last night anyway.

Over the last four days I progressed through investigation 3 and 4, here is what I discovered.

Seeker droids will not function properly when using, "Find and Track Target". The waypoint does not update when in fact the mark is actually moving. If you use the "Find Bounty Target" the waypoint will actually update to the actual location of the target.

If the "Find Bounty Target"remains in the same location for more than oneseeker droid, the mission is more than likely buggedso just head backand get another mission.

What I found worked the best was upon landing on the marksplanet I would send out a seeker droid and wait for the location to update before moving anywhere.If the mark was heading towards a city, I would send out another seeker droid from the same location and wait until the mark reached the city and then I would shuttle over. 10 out of 10 times the mark was somewhere in the city close to themarker. If the mark was heading out into the wilderness,Ifound itwas much more likely to find the mark when there was no other creature activity in that area. If there were very many lairs and creatures it was a 20-30% chance it would actually have a spawn when I arrived.

Twice I've taken missions out of kadaara, and my target was located on endor. By the time i get to him, he's in the middle of a town and has disappeard. Sending out another seeker droid updates the position like 10m away, and he is still not there, just a wp to nothing..... This has happened to me twice.

Scylla

6 missions in a row taken out of Kaandra. I launched a droid and got back

2- Lok

3- Tat

1- rori

I was on a shuttle to each planet no less than 2 min after I got the planet location from my droid. Got there, launched a droid. got an updated wp each time, went to wp (3 of them were 5k away or less) nothing there. launched another droid and 5 out of the 6 times got a wp back that was within 20 m of my last wp with no mark to be found.

I know of 2 rangers that area track and it tells them the mark is there but it is not.
