I stopped doing BH missions all together last night cuz i was getting pissed off and decided Night Sisters would be easier, and they are. I haven't tried any jedi missions yet but I'm fed up with the npc missions already. I did 5 npc missions last night and only finished one because the damn target kept warping away. I get within 200m of my npc mark and ZOOM he's 2800 meters away in another direction. This went on for about 20 min on each mission and each mission did it so i dropped them. The last mission only warped twice and i was able to kill him finally. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a bug or something? I have no problem soloing level 82 npc's, so its not an issue of being able to kill them, I kill level 85 night sisters all the time solo.Once i got to my last npc targetI killed him about 5 min but I was so irritated with the friggin npc warping 2800 meters away as soon as i was within 200m of them.
I thought it was a coincidence at first so i started watching the waypoint distance. As soon as the distance dropped below 300m the npc would warp 2800 meters away EVERY SINGLE TIME. This is not cool. Even non bh misions only warp once or twice. Are the new npc missions bugged worse than before?

There must be something funky going on.
My last5 NPCmissions have been one mark killed, 3 bugged (including one standing IN A ROCK! This made it unable to be seen) and this last one just blew on me as I got within 500-1000M of him. It just said out of the blue MISSION INCOMPLETE. That was it, mark was gone.
I dont mind one or two bugged missions now and again but these take time, and I lost over 1000 BH XP on these last 5runs.
Im on the last box of BH and intend on seeing it through to master no matter how bad its mucked up right now. After all this work to grind my toon this far I have to hope it will get better.

I started a new charater just to see how hard the grind woud be thorugh investigations.... crazy hu?
So far the level 1 missions are working fine. Had to wait for bug patch to fix the CL level, but no warp at the noob level.

Haven't seen any warping issues with the NPC marks, but I didn't get one NPC mark that decided to become a sailer and go 1000m north of Kadara (sp?).

I've been fortunate - all the NPC bounties I've done since the CU have gone off without a hitch.

The marks do sometimes "warp," but the high level marks are supposed to move. Occasionally, one will get "stuck" and warp 2-5km away, usually towards a starport. If you launch seekers regularly, you can track the movement better.
However, if you get one 6km from the nearest starport, and he doesn't move through multiple seeker updates while you drive all the way out there, you've got a warper. In my experience, once they "warp" the droid updates usually move properly.

if your mark is in a tree or rock or some other object try sending in a MSE bomb droid and detonating it. This should put the mark in combat and they will move to fight you, or kite them away from the object. If you have AoE attacks you can try hitting another MOB close to the mark to get them into combat, but then you are fighting multiple targets. This used to work, but I havent tried it in months so not sure how it works now.
