I've had a few like this. If you launch another seeker droid and wait for a couple of minutes it generally updates to a location 500-1000m ish away and your mark will be there. I think its the seeker thats bugged rather than the mission...

Thanks, I'll definitely try that next time. I hope that fixes it.

Ellec,


Ref your 7 Bugged missions, did you ride a circle going out to 500 Meters from the waypoint? I have found that when the mark is not at the designated location they are somewhere within 500 meters of the spot usually in a strait line from the initial starting position but not always. I think this may have something to do with Tracking Droid Effectiveness (i.e. we need the CA and AA's to always have the mark where the seekers tell us they are). Also I have noticed that sometimes when this happens I have had 2 exact same marks spawn on top of each other so I get 2 kills off one wission with loot from both.


Hope this helps everyone else that has been having these problems where the mark is not at the location the seeker droids give.

if in an npc city, just look around manually. if not, ride 1km away and wait 1 min, send another seeker

I was very bored last night and decided to do an experiment. I ran 10 missions on marks all over 31k credits and made a note on their CL, elite status (single silver, double gold, etc), payout, HAM and what they dropped. I'll post the actual figs if anyone's interested but it was mainly bugs and slicing equipment.


I've just satrted running missions on the lowest payouts I can get (<28k credits). i've only done a couple so far but I,ve noticed a significant improvement in loot drops both in terms of number of loots on the body and quality of loot. So far no bugs, better slicing equipment, more schematics dropping and a reinforced casing. Will run the rest of the lower level mission tonight (wife permitting) and see what I get.

It seems that everyone's upset that uber stuff just doesn't drop for 'em ... There's no place in game that guarantees good loot everytime you go there, BH missions should not be any different.

Going for solo groups even under this new nerfed xp system would be a mistake. They were good pre-CU because ... well, mobs generally couldn't hurt you and you could spinon a lair for lotsa damageevery 1-2 seconds.

solo groups wouldnt be awful for me, getting bol missions. i can dish out the damage but it might be better with 1 other person. dual groups i guess. but the xp is crazy now, hardest its ever been

It's doing just fine for me. I grinded npc's to fill up Investigation 3 and 4 before Pub 21 and it's bounty changes. And you're right, after Pub 22 recently, every single one of my bounties were elites, single white chevrons. I've had no gold chevrons, single or double. However, my loots have been spectacular. Just after 21 when they began this boss mob spawns along with the chances to drop BH armor schems, I EXCLUSIVELY looted SEAs, the occasional crystal, Mandalorian Intraframes, ICBs, RMPs or DTAs, along with BH schems infrequently and the ever infuriating Jar of Foraged Bugs. Since 22 yesterday, I've looted pants, cdef rifles and pistols, HC Scatter Pistols, TWO Aakuan Rings, as well as an ENTIRE set of BH armor schems.

Man, something is broke on this game but it seems to be broken in a way that's best for us, is all I'm saying.
