Ok so I've gathered from reading the stickies that it is fairly common for trial NPC's to despawn on Rori, but last night I logged in and after respeccing found that I could no longer use my training saber. So I can't bank xp for Novice LS - no biggie, I'll just finish the trials. My next trial was the Architect trial on Naboo. So I go there, talk to the dude, ride out to the gungan and tell him he can keep his land. I head back to tell the quest giver and end the trial, but lo and behold he despawns just before I can get to him. I even tried going to an off planet shrine, but the trial was always on Naboo.
I redid the trial 5 times from just about every major city on Naboo and when returning to him to end the trial he always despawned (I could see him too - the tease) and it did not seem to matter whether I rode or walked- poof!
Anyone else experienced this with this particular trial or is this possibly related to the CU patch somehow? I did enter bug reports.
I figure I'll try it once more tonight when I log in and if the same thing happens I guess I'll play my BH....

I had no problems, with that quest pre-cu, but ya it could be another post-cu bug that's happening. I'd do a /bug report on the issue, and hope that it gets fixed real soon.

Many people have reported despawns on trial NPCs in many different settings. The workaround, as I understand it, is to dismount from your vehicle 250-300 meters away, and run to the NPC.
Hope this works! Haven't tried it myself, still trying to get through a very buggy Mellichae quest.

Yeah I tried dismounting and running into town from waaaay the heck outside of town. I can see the NPC spawn on the overhead map, then once in eyesight I still see the NPC, but probably about 25-30 meters away he poofs.

I must've been lucky then I could always get off my bike close to them without them despawning. I only failed 1 trail, which was the Chef one.

did anything aggro you as you were coming in? I have heard that the NPC would despawn if you were in combat. Also always dismount at least 150m outside of the NPC WP and watch and let the things around you spawn before you approach him/her. I only had one of mine bug and it was on Rori. Basically got took excited ran right up to the Wp and dismounted alas no NPC. After that no problems. Try it again and if it keeps happening, /bug it. God knows there are already a ton could be another.
