Thread: Stupid Mellichae Bug

OK, so I get the visit from the old man, who tells me that Mellichae has set up a camp near me, and I should go solve the Mellichae issue for once and for all.
Fine. I get the WP.
But, as you all know, the best way to take on Mellichae and his henchmen is witha posse, so one does not just run off to get slaughtered by Mellichae on one's own. One gathers the group together. In my case this takes several days.
So, in the meantime, I go about my business, shuttle from place to place. And every time I do this, the Mellichae camp WP replicates on my datapad. Filling it up with identical "find Mellichae's camp" WPs.
Can anything be done about this?
uhm.... go take out the camp on the planet your on. Then destroy the other waypoints?

Well, yes. I have already purged my datapad of ten duplicate "find Mellichae's camp" WPs. There's a fairly easy workaround.
But my point is, why is the waypoint replicating every time you take a shuttle, or for that matter, launch into space in the first place? Other missions do not do this. Quest WPs donot do this. Why does Mellichae's camp do this?
This is one of these annoying little amateur hour SWG bugs that plague this game like fleas or gnats.
as far as i understand, each time you shuttle, or fly to a planet, the camp respawns. I am guessing that this is the case.

Hmmm
I've never gotten close enough to it for it to spawn in the first place. After all, the text reads that the camp "is somewhere near this WP", similar to the way missions shift on you when you get to within 250m of the original WP, and then you're "updated" on the location.
Simply put...if you do NOT get within 250m (so the camp becomes a fixed spawn) then it will update to another location after shuttling.
The wp's seem like those /findfreind wp's that won't auto-disappear when you locate your buddy...you have to manually delete them.
