So I'm in Anchorhead...and I am doing random npc missions.....a commoner gives me a mission to rid their village of tuskens....and mentions something about a tusken king. Well the waypoint is about 5000m away...really close to wayfar. THREE TIMES I went there...and everytime...there isn't really anything there...I just get a finish mission message. When I get back....the commoner doesn't say anything about me completing the mission...instead asks me to do it again...like I never talked to her before! Anyone know anything about this?

Also have this problem with a guy right outside the cantina in Mos Eisley. He wants me to go to fort tusken and investigate it...see if "old ben" (read: obi wan) is there or something. I get out there...and I get teh finished mission message. same thing when I get back...he just gives me the mission again....nothing..no reward...no mention of finishing the mission....gah.

Help! =)

Well, the devs did say that the NPCs would be giving hints to static locations. Sounds like this is how they did it. Quite nice, to give you a waypoint and everything. The "mission" is probably just the NPC's way of saying "Go check out this cool location!", with a little roleplay flavor added in.

As far as the Tusken King..... there's a guy in a tent near the camp who has a word or two to say about the king.

There is a tusken king north or so of the squill cave. he is down in a basement of some building. he is guarded by several other tuskens. myself and five others headed down there. first time we all had been down the steps. we werent expecting the reception we got. we went down single file. i saw my friend fall in front of me, i started firing and backing up the stairs. we were all wiped out in short order. it was kind of funny actually. the king had 19k HAM. I dont think we ever got a single shot off at him though.

That place you're talking about is the Tusken Bunker, dubbed as that on many sites...

it's NW of the squill cave actually, the coords are -1493, -208

Seeing that I'm not the only one to encounter this. I decided to make a warning post about this new and very deceptive mission type.

Below is the address to my post.

Thanks for posting that viddy. It's just frustrating to run so far and not really get anything out of it. I guess I'll have to get a group together and find this tusken king.

the first time i went to fort tuskin the king was there, i didnt know what was going on, i didnt know he would be so hard, but there was like 5 guys just standing there and they were all thinking about takeing the king on, but no one made a move till a creature handler came up with two pets and so then we decided to try this guy.

while the pets beat on him we were fireing at him, it took like five minuets and we had him down to about 1/4 health and he killed the pets, then he turned on all of us, he ended up killing all of us but one by one and we all cloned at wayfar and ran back to finish him off.

when we finnally beat him i got the loot off him, got some random tuskin cloths and a really good skill enhanceing attachment, it had like plus 10 two hand damage, plus 5 surveying, and plus 5 something else, i gave it to some two hand melee guy who had taken down the king with us.

but either way the king gives up awesome loot if you can kill him

The imperial colonel next to the hospital on bestine gives a mission to take out the bunker. Of course the mission is bugged.

I went to the bunker and when I was within 100m I recieved the message to see the mission originator for my reward. When I went back he gave me the mission again. So I went back to the bunker and cleared it out with my gurrick and went back again. The same thing happend, he gave me the mission again.

The only thing I got from looting was 4 medical items (used in crafting), oh, and the King dropped a pair of Tusken gloves (not armor, just gloves).

There used to be a small tusken camp NE of Wayfar that was more or less a Pokemon center. A static spawned 5-10 tuskens of various strength and a king. I visited that same waypoint last weekend and found nothing there now. A few tuskens milling about the area, but no more hollowed out buildings and what-not. Wonder if you're getting the old "Kill the King" mission that actually spawned the king at this camp.

I was having trouble with several quests as well. First, like the earlier post, with the Colonel outside the Med Center in Bestine. Second, with the Imperial Major near the bank in Bestine. Both quests (as opposed to "missions") are marked completed (e.g. I have many "Finish Quest" waypoints in my databank), but will not allow me to claim any reward - then reassigning the same mission. I have submitted several bug notices and customer service requests, all to no avail. Anyone recieve any official word from SOE?

broke broke borked and broke...

i never got the bestine npc missions to work. but the one from the prefect (in the capitol blding) does work (go thru his assistant first, room on the left)

add to this list:

the imperial npc's at dantoine fort:

the stormtrooper that gives missions, his 2nd one does not give a waypoint.

the oc's 4th or 5th mission, he doesn't give you the card you are to deliver

emperor's retreat:

no rewards from vader ('a reward has been placed in you backpack' message, no goodies)

one of the npc's at the imp fort in talus is broken (can';t remember which one)

i've been just running npc missions lately for something different, and it's a pain when they are borked

the dark jedi missions on dantooine work though

and there is no recruiter at dantooine fort??

I'm getting the missios complete message all over the place, yavin, dath etc. Thought it was just me, good to hear everyone else is having the same problem.

Didn't Q3PO leave a message about how to enjoy swg? exploring, running missions? pfffft
