hey kaylais, tell them about the time you and the CL 69 toon tried to get the commander back with the CL 69 toon escorting. That was fun

More like my idea of hell. Twice. Tried it twice with that guy. Commander just runs away every 30 secs on him.

Finally did it tonight. One of the hints that was given here on these forums was golden . I successfully did this quest on my Jedi alt the 1st day of phase 3 on Infinity but on my Total Experience alt I failed over and over again (because of running out of time and line of sight issues with the Commander).

So, tonight I grouped up with a newbie to the village and we hit the Xi base on Infinity (2200m from village... closest one). We both got killed by a bugged turret before bringing down the shields. Went back... killed turrets, dropped shields (my partner did) and then killed the front gate and the five Siths. Waited for despawn phase and rushed in. Killed 2nd gate and then waited in tent for next despawn phase. Grabbed Commander as soon as Siths despawned but they respawned so quickly we had to wait for another despawn phase before heading out. Made a run for it as soon as the Siths despawned next and the long dreadful walk to the village began.

Now here's where one of the hints on these forumscame in very handy. I did the escort and what I did was 1) set a droid to follow the Commander and 2)I targeted the Commander and hit the "~" key (the key left of the "1" key and right below the "ESC" key on the keyboard that brings up the radial) every few seconds and then I hit the "2" key (2nd conversation option = "Follow me!"). I totally spammed the poor guy with follow me commands but it worked out great. We could walk the steepest of slopes this way. The range for conversing with the Commander is 20m so you can stay well ahead of him even! You will sometimes not be able to see the radial because it opens off screen on steep slopes but it's still there and all you have to do is spam "~" and "2" all the time. What's also great about this method is that you will get a "You can't see this object" message when the Commander is not in the line of sight. This makes it easy to tell when you need to run back a bit.

We made it back to the village with plenty time left and as soon as we got out into the open (near village) I ran up to 40m -50m ahead of the Commander. He has no probs to follow on flat ground. Oh, and my droid had long stopped following the Commander by then so I'm fairly sure that it didn't play a role in succeeding on this mission. What really counts is spamming "Follow me!" ... then you can walk him from any base (well,"any" as in below 3500m or so )to the village in a straight line without losing time by going around slopes or having to recapture him.

Good luck .
