If you're stuck between getting Glowie and the village, please read on. There might be something in here that could help you.
Ok so the moment came when I finished the last themepark and I got a "glowy" message after my /che. I ran around waiting for the old man not knowing it could take him a couple of days to appear. I did the shuttle hopping, ran towards the 0,0 point on the map, the whole deal... He came to me after 2 days, about half an hour after I logged on for the night.
The Sith shadows spawned on me the next day, after logging in for the 3rd time in a row. So it might be a coincidence, or logging in/out might work... I can't tell. Anyway, I killed them and looted the datapad AFTER both were dead. I got the "You must loot before..." message. Logged out and read up about it on the forum, logged back on and destroyed the datapad.
The old man reappeared about 10 minutes later, followed almost immediatly by another attack from the Sith. This time I was totally unprepared as I didn't expect them to get to me so fast. I got incapped and lost the crystal. All this happened at that infamous 0,0 location on the map. (coincidence? I have no clue. But to be sure I kept going there
) When I get back up I had lost the crystal, but in a desperate attempt I attacked both Sith again. Silly thing really, as I knew I wasn't going to get the crystal back. I killed one, but the other DB'd me. Strange how I was suddenly having trouble with them. The first time I owned them np. (They were CL 75 and 77 btw)
After waking up with a cloned body I figured I wasn't going to get lucky again tonight and thought the old man would probaby make his appearance the day after. I was wrong, he appeared about an hour and a half later while I was moving towards a mission waypoint. (nowhere near 0,0) I decided to go back to my 'lucky' spot (0,0) and waited. The Sith however didn't appear again that night.
Yesterday I log back on expecting an immediate attack. I was totally prepared mentally and physically, having upgraded some parts of my armor and bought a Shield Generator right before I logged off the day before. Nobody there except some Tusken Raiders. I killed them, Anakin-style, and moved on to do some more NPC-bounty missions. I was trying not to let it get to me. I did have some strange feeling that my Force Crystal was bugged, so I destroyed it and hoped to get another one soon.
I get a mission for Yavin IV and head out, get my wp to my target and move in for the kill. Halfway through I suddenly start losing Health fast. Sure enough, 2 Sith were attacking me from behind. How typical. I finish off my target, root one Sith, KB the other and make a run for it. SG was down and recharging, and Health was down to one quarter. Sparing you the tactics, I killed them both.
Strange thing was that I had destroyed my Force Crystal about an hour before, so why should they attack me? In character you could say that they wouldn't have a clue wether I had destroyed the crystal or not, but in game terms... it felt bugged. Still, you never know, so I looted their bodies. Suddenly "Task Completed" appears, and I get a waypoint datapad.
I couldn't believe what I saw and decided this might be my lucky day. I selected "Use" from the radial menu and get a wp, the datapad self-destructed.
I make my way to the camp and 3 Sith are waiting for me. 2 CL 75 and 1 CL 77 Sith. I send a help-call to my friend, to be sure... I wasn't going to mess this up. My friend came and helped me take them out. Then my friend did something rash and looted the CL 77 corpse. He looted the datapad, which he now had, couldn't use ("Can't read...") and he couldn't trade it. Tried trading it in a backpack too, didn't help. Oh well, back to waiting for the old man I guess... my friend destroyed the datapad to be sure, and I went back to bounty missions.
After an hour or two I noticed my datapad was getting filled with the same waypoint to the Sith camp. Every time I switched planets (or shuttled, not sure which) I got a new copy of the old Sith Camp waypoint. Also, my quest log had deleted the last line ("Examine the Sith at the Camp to learn more...") and was back to the line that you get after the ambush. I got a hunch that maybe the camp respawns if the quest doesn't move further. Why else would I keep getting waypoints after I had nothing to show for it (No crystal, no datapad, back to square 1 sort of).
I fly back to Yavin IV and head towards the camp waypoint. Sure enough, the camp was still there. And there were once again 2 CL 75 Sith and 1 CL 77. The CL 77 had slightly wandered off assuring me a single pull. So I make some quick preperations and pull him. Easy kill when they're alone!
Against my gut yelling at me "Don't loot till they're all dead!" I did loot him immediatly and got another waypoint. The one that pointed me to Dathomir and the village.
I go there, talk to the chief saying "Yo bud, gimme another crystal. I seem to have lost mine."
And I was done.
I hope this helps some of you who are stuck between getting glowy and the village.
Good luck!
