i mean im not new to jedi and know even friends can get you on the terms but...the funniest thing happened today. me and a friend went out hunting rancors and i was healing her blah blah the whole nine yards for a few hours. no nightsisters or mountain moon clan and i didnt end up on the terminals. anyone have an explanation for this or the group thing actually working and they didnt mention it by chance? would like to hear some opinions on this cause ive been continuing doing this with another friend and im STILL not on the terms???

How do you know that your missions isnt already taken ?
Its sometime taken me from an hour to a day to appear on the terms :-)

Hmm weird. I do wish that Jedi would be allowed to group with no penalty but I doubt its ever gonna happen.
I would think that either you're bugged some way or 5 BH already have your mission =p
Keep us updated!

for one a large number of bh's can have your bounty at one time and also i can check the terms for myself for my alt is a bh. but i went out again here for another 2 hours and it seems it was my fault this time (got a little to close to moutaiin clan and ignited my saber) and not long after then i got a tell saying i was on terms. but that was after an hour and i still wasnt on the terms which was odd. i still dont know if it was dumb luck or what but until i got myself into trouble i didnt seem to have any problems. also i thought rancors gave visibility but i dont think they do...and if they did i didnt loot any this morning that i killed either maybe that has something to do with it? dont loot = no visibility? dunno but took me forever to get on terms i was even leaving my saber equipped and force runnign thru the starports and still nothing lol. dunno maybe i got bugged for a little bit for some strange reason. i wish more people would test just heres what i have done this morning and ive had no problems until i caused it myself but ive been playing for 10 hours and no terms...
1) was grouped with a freind and fought side by side (definately within 32m and im talking right THERE close)
2) healed my friend (wounds etc etc)
3) was killing rancors (but not looting them)
4) running with saber in my hand
5) force running thru the starport
6) lasted 10 hours before i messed up and ignited my saber around the mountain clan that finally put me on
anyone else with more feedback or info please post. seems people are getting on the terms from either being really stupid about it or just plain trying to be to careful

All well and good but we all know that 1 NPC will not get you on the terms, especially for just "igniting" the saber. Chances are it just took a while for the viz to build up to get you on there.
We also dont know for sure how long it takes for a mission to appear after generating visibility.
I've had an entire squad of stormtroopers (at least a dozen) land right on me while Im killing things and even had them contraband scan me, and did not get on the terminals for that. (at least not that I could find after about 100 refreshes)
Also, as an experiment I have written down every Jedi name on the terminals and put a mark next to their name each time I see it. I have gone through 100 refreshes of the terminal before a specific Jedi shows up in some cases. I dont know if this means they just appeared or if the general randomness of the terminal made them not show up at first for me.

well it did take a few ignites to me me on the terms but you understand what i mean...thats what it took to get me on. then it was pretty instant but still that was 10 HOURS later which i found odd. also i got on with my bh after i was ready to log off for the day and searched the terms for myself quick and found me within 4 refreshes easily. dnuno the odd thing that really strikes me though is it took sooo long to actually get me put on and to have the npcs get me on not my friend or anything else i had done. ive done thigns in the past and it never took long to get on but this time it took forever. oh well least i had some fun then at least for once and got 10 hours of fun in

Oddly, a few months ago I was out hunting with a guildie and was on the terms within an hour. A BH took me out in about 1 minute (was only 0044LS at the time). Sounds to me like something is slightly bugged, or they DID fix it and not tell us.

as stated above, it can take a *while for the mission to appear. i went pvp'n with a large group and ended up attackin a few bases. I couldnt believe i wasnt on the terms when i logged that night- prolly about 4-5 hours later. the next day i didnt log my jedi in at all, but kept checking the terms regularly to see if a mission would come up. Not until the following day, at least 48 hours later did the mission come up-- it seemed as though the trigger to generate the mission was my logging in on that 3rd day, but it's hard tellin. so keep cheking regularly if you think you may have got your vis high enough to get you on the terms-- at least for a day or two.

definitely ok with rancors as far as vis-- they wont generate it. 1 thing that usually holds true is that if it has a proper name, then it will give visibility..
