I was chilling in the cantina at trade outpost dath healing my mind when I happened to mistaking click on a npc inside. The npc named Wallaw Loowobbli offered a mission to save a Bull Rancor from cruel hunters trying to turn them into cybernetic juggernauts.


Here are screenshots of this bugged npc mission


Clicking on the npc in the cantina:




Getting more info about the quest from npc




Clicked on the next post explaining how I am to rescue the Bull Rancor




Then clicked on the part of how challenging the hunters would be in combat. I really wasn't worried about this part as was going as Jedi Master CH.




Here is the Bull Rancor I found at the mission wp




As you can see the last link he is not a Bull Rancor and you can see from examine that it is listed as a Bull Rancor. I did not bother finishing the mission as did not want to bother trying to escort a trandoshin Bull Rancor back to the dath trade outpost.


Vert if you read this please pass this onto devs and inquire why this mission does not have a Bull Rancor. To those of us that are fanatical Bull Rancor hunters this mission would be a change of pace for us and would be enjoyable.


At our next BEAST meeting will announce this bugged mission in our discussion about bugs in the game.

Heh I've had that too. I took a screenie but forgot all about it.

The poor little sucker died in a whirl of swords amongst the fiends that had "implanted the device".

Weirdest damn rancor I ever did see.

Maybe the bug is that the Bull Rancor is actually a randomly generated NPC? And not a monstrous beast the size of a bus?

Yeah, I had seen that mission in the past. It's similar to Corran Horn's "rescue the NPC" quests. Very, very difficult to keep the frail rescue target alive long enough to drop the attackers.


It would be kind of cool to rescue an actual rancor, but I don't thinkchanging the NPC's appearance tomore properly reflect the mission fiction would be a very high priority item at this moment. It's my hope that eventually we can get planet-wide mission revamps, as was done for Tatooine/Dantooine months ago.

Vert


Are u saying the npc was always designed to be a npc character and not a Bull Rancor?


If that is the case then the mission needs to be changed to save a scientist not a Bull Rancor. I just feel that this mission where it says you get to save an actual rancor should have an actual rancor and feel this mission would be very enjoyable. For me it was just disappointing to discover such a mission and find that it was not what was intended.

I think there are a couple of missions like that, where the Devs have a sense of humor. An NPC pops up with the name of a critter. I think its kinda funny

I did this mission a looong time ago. It actually was a rancor, but there was nothing special about it other than it only hada 100 HAM....
