Thread: Sith Visit Bugged
same thing happened to me on my first FS toon, I tried putting it in my backpack, closing the screens, opening them back up, then shifting the datapad back into my inventory...didn't work (although I have heard it has for some that I know...). When it happened I was about to submit a ticket when another 2 Sith attacked me, this time I got the datapad and it worked (but I did place my original bugged datapad in my backpack BEFORE looting the other Sith AFTER they were all dead...). I'd wait for another attack, making sure that the bugged datapads are either deleted or not in the main inventory. If you get another one and it's bugged, then I'd submit a ticket.
Also, does your guildie friend have enough datapad room for one or two waypoints? I'd make sure there are enough for three just for good measure before getting the next datapad.
Hope this helped!
