Thread: Grouping for Capture Commander Quest (need clarification)

I selected to do this mission with a partner (I cap commander and he brings down shields) however everytime we go to one of the close bases its swarmed with people.


I think I'll need to team up with a large group in order to get this quest done, but how will it work? For example, you have a group of 8, 4 took the shields option and the other 4 took the commander option. Obviously only 1 can hit the shields and only 1 can cap the commander so how does everyone complete this quest in a group? Its there an option not to do it with a partner and im basically screwed now as I cant group? A little clarification would be great.


Thanks

There is usually a wait. You need to wait in line. As soon as the team in front of you brings the shield down, set a timer for 2 hours. When there is about 5 min left, spam the remote until the shields come down.


We had 2 guys yesterday skip in front of us, and my friend and I had waited 3 hours for our chance to do this. It is really aggravating when someone comes up and camps in front of you thinking they are gonna take your base you waited 2-3 (or more) hours for.


Please guys, show some respect out there, and wait your turn.

That's a fact. Waited close to 4 on saturday with multiple bases taken from me. If only we could go back to the days when it was rare to see a bounty hunter.

This is a problem SOE and the devs created and this is a problem they need to fix. Having to wait 2 hrs for a spawn with such an important quest as this ?


Either these bases need to be static and different for each person's quest or they need to up the amount of people who can get credit for the quest at one time.


Maybe they could shorten the spawn time or something. I saw it last night. I joined a group to do this quest and when we started there was no one at the base.


Another group came by, and spoiled it for us. The guys who were with us were now forced to wait even longer. This type of stuff is very discouraging.

Something needs to be done but only if the mission was completely impossible. I know its a bit of a stretch but the best thing to do is wait until early in the morning to start. Say about 2 or 3 am, but beware of taking the mission to close to a server reset. I ran into that problem myself. Started the mission about 4:30am on Saturday morning, done everything, captured the commander and was on my way. About 2km from the village i get the "The server will be shutting down in 15 min. Please log out now." Needless to say I was less than 1000m from the village before I lost connection.

We can blame the timers, we can blame the devs. It really boils down to this community. If you are in the line at the bank, do you cut? No. Why? Because you were taught that it is very poor etiquette. If everyone would remember thier manners, and be polite, this will go alot faster for everybody.

Thats right. Thats what i meant about going back to the days when bounty hunters were rare. At least then, everybody helped each other. Now everyone is caught up in their own greed to become Jedi, which seems to have some irony to it, considering the Jedi Code and all.

Could anyone pls address my question on the group of 8? How would it work if you've already selected to do one half of it with a friend?

Only the two who got the quest would get credit. The one who Dectivates the shield generator (Clicks the shield generator, radial menu, Activate) and the one who captures the commander (Click commander, radial menu, Capture!) Only the ones who do that get credit.

As long as the 2 people doing the quest are the ones to bring the shield down and killing the 5 sith, and take the commander back, then the others in the group do not affect the quest adversely.
