I spent 5 hours doing inv. 3 bh mission. In 5 hours i was able to complete 2 missions! At this rate i will be trying to master bh forever! I picked up 6 missions ad 4 where bugged. 2 i ran across the planet back and forth as the target seemed to magicaly warp away. When i finally found him he was white. Other times the target was green and for some reason i could not attack him. And other times they are just invisable or inside some building where you cant see them. The best was after 45 min of tracking a target he ended up in the middle of the damm ocean! lol... anyone else getting this frustrated? any clue if there will be a fix? is it worth my time to keep trying for this even though im only 10k away?

Oh yea and i for got to talk about the crashes that happen over and over if i take a shuttle while traking my target!

I reach master 2 days ago. It's taken me five months if you include the time I decided to stop grinding and enjoy different aspects of the game (theme parks, etc.) My last 2 missions took 6 hours. I had marks appearing in walls and white NPC marks, the works. It was irritating to say the least.

By the way, if you have your waypoint monitor up showing direction, distance, and name of the waypoint you can work around that shuttle crash. If you get off the shuttle and see that it is no longer up there, hit shift-esc. Then disconnect. This will throw you into the log-on server. Log back on, it'll take 15-30 seconds. Your mission's waypoint should be there again, and you won't crash to desktop. That worked for me anyway.

Heh, I can't use my mount because every time I cross a zone boundary, and then dismount, the server treats me and my mount as one entity, and it stores me when the pet auto-stores or if I store it.

Leading to 10 minutes not being able to log in, and a 30 minute rollback. And thats when I'm lucky. If I try to logout while in this state, its a 30-60 minute wait to log back in, with a 30 minute rollback.

I hope they fix this before speeders are released.

I've spent over 6 hours trying to complete just (1) mission on two seperate occassions.

Thats just ugly.

Hmmmm... maybe I'll take pistol whip instead of invest III....

Is this really someone complaining about the current rate of investigation xp gains?

No, it's somebody complaining that they can't complete missions at all.

The bugs have gotten worse, and as a result I gave up my BH for a while until they get off their complacencies and back to work.

The most hated skill in the game

Sorry to say the DEV team did piss poor job on this one.

Player Bounties would solve this problem. BUT that will never happen on carebear servers.

yeah i know that feeling, i have spent probablly 20-30 hrs in the last week doing BH missions alone and only got like 5k xp. pretty much broken even on money from all the 1.5 hr travel fest broken npc missions, and grown in frustration so much im thinking of quitting the class even though im already at INV III. something needs to be done.

on a lighter note, i dont think the devs have created a bad class, i just think the content is a mess. i think there should be 3 types of BH missions:

1) Fugitive missions - the current system in place, basically chase down a running mark

2) Investigation Missions - actually investigate stuff, maybe have each missions flag 5 npcs throughout the galaxy in different cities you need to find and talk to and get the WP of your mark you need to capture/kill

3) Assassination Missions - where you need to kill some high profile person, whether it be a military officer in a protected base or a noble with 15 RSF guards around it whatever, you get the gist.

basically, a little bit of a grind is fine with me, i expect it, but the length of the grind in the current system is just horrible, and bugs make it worse. on top of that, it is boring as all hell and we have no other options of earning xp.

I haven't done any BH missions now for over 2 weeks. I spent 6 hours doing 5 mission. First 4 failed because of inside buildings and white. When I finally finished the last mission. A couple of minutes later I had a 30min rollback.

I ran about 10 missions yesterday.

3 were bugged.

Thes best part.... I am now 3 missions away from being MBH. .... so if it werent for bugs, i would have Mastered Bounty Hunter Yesterday... now it wont be untill later in the week, since i only get to do about 1 mission a night if im lucky on weekdays.
