KruStyYy, all you're missing is the letter from the dead guy in the cell. it's Labeled FOUD:. Here are some directions to that cell.
From the Reactor room with the NPC in it. Go out the door, take a left to the next room. (if you go right you will end up in the large room with the Fountain.) Once in that room, go through the door on the left. In that room you will see the door to the cell. It might be locked (the code to open it you get from the girl when you give her the first letter) or you might be lucky and it's been unlocked by another player.
Report bugs here... haha
I'll do that now. I'm here to vehemantly complain.
First, this makes me very very angry. Some bright boy on the content team decided that they didnt want the main gate pass to be traded to other people... so instead of flagging it no_trade and No_drop made the passkey disappear as you go through the front gate.
Which would have been fine if some -other- over-zealous bright boy on the content team didnt make six seperate check points for the passkey to ensure that someone didnt somehow 'sneak by' without the passkey.
The solution would have been to make the passkey no_drop no_trade (Which is silly, there's an escapee like 50m away with the passkey. ) -Or- To reduce the ammount of checkpoints for the passkey to -1- just at the entrance.
The solution the content team used? Allowing the escapee to give multiple passkeys if you talk to him over and over. This also spams your datapad with a waypoint each time you get a passkey. Mind you if you only get like three passkeys you're stuck in the warrens with no way in or out in a little section of hallway between the checkpoints until you log out and reappear on the surface.
Unacceptable. I noticed SWG has a help wanted sign for the Content Director fellow. Give me a yell. You have my e-mail. If this is the quality the last guy turned out I can shine in this position.
Now after going through the sixth checkpoint for the main gate passkey I wandered into a room and was instantly attacked by three hostile huurton. As a Master Commando with Smuggler and scout tree masteries.. I stayed calm and 'flame on!' Flame cone 2! Wooot! I was incapacitated and two of the three huurton died. The other ran off. 'Hey' I say to myself 'Content team didnt do too bad on that one. Creatures as strong as the hurrton shouldnt DB. Three strikes and you're out there. Very balanced very fair'
This kudo lasted 20 seconds. See, because a problem that had been fixxed in beta? You know the one about mobs you werent fighting doing a DB on you? It occured as some Teraud's loyalist on a -seperate floor entirely- the had no LOS or anything DBed me.
So recap of my experience?
I ran 4k meters across Dantooine to a place I now refer to as 'Bug Hell'. I do this with no deference and the statement is unmitigated. And its notjust buggy, its unacceptable anywhere save on a test server. This is by no means a 'completed piece of content'. I know some people worked long and hard on it, but there were several HUGE balls dropped. This content is not ready for the public. Yet somehow I saw someone badged earlier today. Admittedly he was a BH and BH are Jedi without lightsabers in the current mode of balance.
I'm going back once more. I'll see if I can't find more 'suggestions'.
Please note I have offered -solutions- to the problems and not just ranted about the problems themselves. But this is very very annoying. This little escapade cost me fivek creds and about an hour and a half of totally wasted time. I didn't mind doing this in beta. I did it without complaint n beta. I seldom complain now, especially inthe forums.
But oh my lord this is bad.
As I said, I'll chock it up to your vacancy in the content director spot and maybe go apply for said spot forthright.
P.S. egad!
So whats up? i take it the "patch" didnt do much but make the letter for Mrila spawn faster. The locked room was red like a private house at one point, I had the 2 rods, i waited at the reactor room unil my guild mate hit the switches for me to get in. I was the first to the Drum but i still had no access.
How are other ppl doing this and getting the badge? After the reactor was shutdown or whatever i ran back to the locked room where the evidence was supposed to be. It was not locked with the red door. It was "open" but still no access.
