I got Altruism and Courage after about 2 weeks of looking and spent countless hours looking for intellect. Then I got honor, intellect and the hero in 2 days. Intellect must be fixed, I have seen the BH about 4 times just on my travels since. It's obviously been fixed but appears to be much too easy now. I don't know if I was just lucky but it was a bit dissapointing that it all started as such a challenge but then finished too quickly and easily.

It was fun though, more please, but keep them just a little frustrating.

I finally found the bounty hunter and crew yesterday very quickly after looking and looking for days. It seems like it's working just fine now. Had no trouble with the other parts. Overall fun quest, just the bounty hunter was frustrating. I look forward to more quests

I just found a couple of hours ago the BH in Mos Entha (Radiant Server).


I had no problems with the other marks so I'll be another Heroe of Tatooine

Experiences so far:


3hours with guildmates camping the intellect badge spawn points :- completed

6 hours plus driving/walking/riding around the courage spawn area:- Nothing

6 hours driving/walking/riding around the altruism spawn area:- Nothing


Havent even attempted the pirate quest leaving that till last.


While i understand the need tomake it difficult it seems the current formula for content is make it impossible via super battle droids or make it so time consuming that people quit trying.






I agree. It's a crap idea to force people to spend this much friggin' time on something like this. Sheesh...

"Quests:
  • You should now be able to loot the Mark of Courage item from the Ferocious Beast, even if you have acquired the Mark of Courage badge from before the Hero of Tatooine revamp."

  • this update was made in today's patch. so why just make the mark of courage badge available and not the other three? i have still been unable to get the mark of intellectreward item to complete the mark of hero spherebecause i already did the quest last july or august. so i have the badge "mark of the hero", but i have a 3/4 finished reward item. unreal.


    JUST GIVE EVERYONE WHO FINISHED THE QUESTSLAST YEAR THE SPECIFIC REWARD ITEMSAUTOMATICALLY FOR THE QUESTS THAT THEY FINISHED.simple as that.

    <---- LATEST HERO ---->


    Yep just went to tatooine, and made the rounds on Chilastra... noticed people camping various spawn points... then met the BH in Espa.

    Grabbed the Intellect Badge

    Buffed and went to the squillcave and got my Hero Badge.


    Thanks for fixing the spawn, Mr/Miss Devs ^_^.

    I have attempted the hero of Tatooine quests.


    My experiences:

    Time to complete quest: Roughly 8 hours, including stopping for buffs and the daily server down time.

    Experiences: Trying to locate the spawns can be frustrating at times, especially when you see so many other players looking for the same spawns.

    One buffed player with a master elite profession, good comp armor, and buffs breezes through the combat portions.

    I've been told by several people that I got really lucky with the spawns (found the moisture farmer within 20 minutes of starting the search)

    For the most part I guess it was fun, and it was something to do while waiting for Pub 10 to come out so I can play as a jedi.

    The search times for the moisture farmer put me off doing these quests. I don't pay for this game to fly around a huge area for hours wasting my time. The difficulty should be in the combat or a puzzle or the assembly of an item to "track" the farmer, but not just a random spawn somewhere in 20 square kilometers of map!


    Bad implementation!

    well... i started the Hero Quest yesterday.


    found the BH spawn relativly quickly. did a quick tour of the cities. no joy. decided to go look for the pirate. while waiting for the shuttle in AH to go to Mos Eisley, the BH and his buddies spawned right in front of me. lucky day. or rather lucky minute. following 5 hours consisted of aimed wandering, depopulating spawn points and general boredom.


    i have decided that i will just do what i want to do on Tat. if i run into one of these spawns, lucky me. if i don't....i will not spend another minute looking. ( well i probably will )

    I have Attempted and completed the Hero of Tatooine Quests. They were definately challenging in the fact that some of the targets are hard to find, especially finding the altruism spawn. I had courage, intellect, and honor complete in a few hours but altruism took me over 3 days just to locate the spawn. The squill cave is a challenging place to get to the hermit. One thing that I think would be awesome would be a similar set of quests on each planet. For now, I am happy to join the proud few that bear the Mark of the Hero.
