Thread: Bugs and NPC missions... *frustrated*
they are bugged. here are some hints to try when you have marks in trees or player structure.
strructures. if you have a mount call it out where part of it when you mount it you arein the house thr uthe wall. then go in get off mount and attack mark and run him out. might have to try a little bit to get that right. i found call the pet while on a porch or outside the door. when you call mount it will fall thru the house to the ground and it will look like it is in the wall.
trees. marks in trees drop a small camp next to the tree. it will remove the tree and you should be able to attack themark then.
hope that helps with that.
but missions spawning in waterjust plain incomplete, and not being at wp when you get there is annoying.
Just wait about 500-1000 meters out...
Eventually the droid will lose contact and when you relauch the droid the mark will most likely have moved...
This has worked for me every time.
Out of all the NPC missions I have run... prolly over 500 I have had only 3 that were bugged.

This doesn't work most of the time for me. For some reason I'm unlucky and not only get a lot of missions that spawn/start in water, but near the end of the world. In that case the NPC will never move, it says there. If you go up to the mark, mission incomplete. Then there are the ones that you track for 10 mins just watching waiting for the mark to approach land, it works sometimes but it also seems to fail the majoirty of the time when on Corellia. For some reason the NPC goes down the beach area, everytime it looks like it's on land I move in.....mission incomplete. If it was only once or twice, I wouldn't even post but dam this happens half the time lately. I only run a couple missions a week now because I stop after I get two bugged missions in a row (waisted 30-40 mins on average).
The worst bugs are when they spawn in regular cities, you go there and find they are in the middle of a building but surprise, surprise they spawned in the floor so you can't even see them. Combine this with looting jars of bugs at an increased rate, I'm thinking of farming DJK again lol.

Good hints here, I will have to try them. I have regrinded an alt into a BH lately and thus had to grind out the investigation tree. It was a nightmare, because till investigation 2, marks don´t move. Without any exageration, 3/4 marks spawned over water or in trees/harvesters/younameit. This has been an issue since when?
If you have JTL inv is a brease now days, if you get the marks on the edge of the world just abort the mission and grab another. And BH marks have been a bug fest since 03, several times i had 2-3 white marks in a row and before JTL that was quite a pain in the backside.
Anyway, thanks again! I got my mark thanks to the camp advice!
