Okay... so I got the locations/shield disabler things, ready to go. I get to the place, and the turrets can fire on me from 100m away. I cant get close without being slain. Is there a way around this? Or is it a bug? Whats goin on, I need help!!!

i just did this solo and what i did was to not take the shield down straight away.get buffed up and go hit the turrets as many times as possible till i get slain.keep going back once respawned until both turrets are down .then take down the shield,5 sith and the other turret and the rest is fairly easy if you do a close by base.hope that helps a bit.Incidently i died whilst taking on the last turret inside the base but went back once cloned,did the rest of the mission and still got the credit.

*sniff sniff* I smell something starting with a b and ending with a t. Unless you are the lone soul on your server(which may be the case with as po'd people are with phase3) someone would have swooped into your little love fest with ths turrets and the cloner. Unless you were at a base FAR FAR AWAY from the villiage, in which case there is no way possible to have the commander WALK back to the villiage in the one hour time limit.



Okay off the soapbox and onto the teaching platform.



The easiest way to take out the turrets is to get a decent droid and use him while standing way off from the turrets. I have done that part of the quest twice now and it works like a charm to take out both the outer turrets and the gate.



Oh and BTW SOE please give us some sort fo fix, the easiest would be to either give more time for the commander to live or shorten the timer on respawn.



Thanks now flame on.

There are tons of tips in here if you look. The same thing happened to me on my last attempt right when the server came up, I too was able to clone and make it back to the base before someone took the base so it's not BS. You just have to be the first one to log in or get up at 3am.



I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Thanks for that Sheeana.I dont post that much,and certainly am not a B*********r ,guess i probably just got lucky.I am playing in the UK so when i tried it the time in the US was about 5.30-6am which may have been why i got away with it.This quest seems a little random and you have to get a lot of luck if you are soloing it.For instance i was only attacked by sith shadows about 3 times on my way back and by only about 2-3 at a time.I even got incapped on the way back and had to go retrieve the commander.With a bit of luck this quest is very doable solo.You just have to have the persistance to keep trying when you fail.A bit of persistance and hard work is probably a fair requirement for becoming a jedi.

I have a tip for you. Use a pet or droid. Turrets do not lock onto them. It may take some time to do it thru a pet/droid and you may need to repeatedly spam the attack command. But it works and you can stand well out of turret range (as long as one hasn't already locked onto you).

The turrets can be taken down by rifleman really easily. If your not then here are some ways.


1) If your a ch send all your strongest pets in to attack the turrets while this happens run in and help out


2) if your melee, use your best weapon and use some food buffs and if you can buff yourself aka doctor profession


3)Range has no problem just shoot from a distance


4)Non combat professions....dont go without a group lol


But its the turrets that is the problem its the sith that start spawning once you get the commander yikes.
