This seems to be happening WAY too frequently.


It seems every other mission I get my WP is right in the middle of a lake.


When you drive to the WP it simply says that your mission is incomplete.


Am I the only one experiencing this?


If not can we get this on the issues list please, it is really starting to get annoying.

Your not the only one this is happening too. At least 3 other guildmates of mine have reported the same happening as you and I have experienced it at least 25% of the missions I have taken. It is most frustrating when traveling to Yavin and traveling 5K+ to have that happen!

if you see from your map that the mark has spawned in a lake do not approach within 500m. next time droid updates the position he should spawn out of the lake on land, failing that wait until your droid loses track and launches another. once you approach within a certain distance (i think its 500m) the mob will stop moving about and if he is in deep water you will get the mission incomplete.


when i notice a target has spawned in a big body of water from my map i just stop immediately wherever i am and wait for him to move.


there is another thread somewhere with much more detail on it somewhere on the BH forums

QFE. This has been around forever and will likely never change.

This has been going on for as long as I can remember. Some other problems you will face, will be marks spawning inside trees, rocks, buildings, etc.... Other times they will be just beyond the boundry of the map where you can see but can't shoot. The water one is hard to get around, you just have to hope that by the time you get there he has moved. The others are sometime workable if you use a pet or droid. Just use the /target name and send your pet or droid to attack. This will usually cause your mark to come out of whatever they stuck in. Hope this helps somewhat.......

I know this has been around forever (Mastered BH in late '03) but not near as often.


Some planets have roughly 5-10% of the available playing surface covered with water.


Why does it seem that marks will undoubtly appear where there is water?

Well, they have to have something to wash down the Jar of Foraged Bugs.
