Today was my day off and I decided to devote the whole day to bounty hunting NPC's only. I went through 2 whole arakyd deeds, thats 20 missions, and I only got the chance to do 4 of them... 4 of them. 90% of the missions were on the very edge of the map, true this used to happen to me off and on, but it happened way to frequently to be a coincidence. I am not whining here, I just want to know if this is happening to anyone else today

Did about three missions last night and it happened. But i waited for some time and then i sent out another seeker and he had moved in the map towards the SP like they are supposed to.

Water and the edge of the map. Very fustrating indeed. I see two options for this.


1) Drop the mission. Suck up the cost of the droid(s), travel, and time.


2) You started it, might as well do it. Stay in the starport and lauch another seeker. After it updates a few times, the MOB will move inwards. If you get to close while it is updating, it will give you a mission failure.



Good luck, Happy Hunting, and all that.

Not always, but they do move "back inbounds" most of the time at each update. Just as long as you aren't close enough to trigger then to be "drawn" in. That's why you get the mission failed when you are too close. They system places a marker and attempts to draw them. Much like when you move close to your grinding mission and get an update. If the system marks them in water or out of bounds to may times, it aborts the mission. Give your updates enough time to mark the Mob in bounds and you can complete your mission.

Nothing to fix, they made it like the intentionally. They don't allow BH hunting on kash or in sapce end of. Well 'don't allow' might be too strong a word, they want to make it as hard as possible for us to hunt on kash and in space.

I once had a mark which was on the edge of the map. As I got closer I realised he was actually off the map as I was just 'sliding' along sideways whilst trying to go forward to get closer.


But, as luck would have it, when I reached him, he was in range of my rifle so I could shoot him. I enticed him to follow me out back onto the map.


Whenever I get waypoints in a lake or off the map I always head forthem as only 2 or 3 times when theyare in water have I had 'missionincomplete'


I had a mark on Naboo once, was a level 80. I could not attack her. I sent a ticket and logged, next day she was still there, and attackable - but she was only cl 4! And I got full bh xp and good loot /cheer

Ive been quite lucky to only have 2 marks do the mission incomplete thing on me so far on my grind through investigation again. The bad thing is I was getting used to it not happening and made the mistake of going after a mark 5k m + away from any town. Taught me real quick to just drop the mission when I see that, especially if its near the edge of the planet.
