Fix the freaking BH missions and droids please! I'm working on investigation 4 atm and I may be having a streak of bad luck but I've figured out over the last few days that 43% of my missions have been bugged in some way. I'll list them here.


Invisible NPC. (I have Ranger track and it tells me the guy is 1m away but he's not there)

NPC in the middle of a lake. (Wont agro, pets wont attack, driod places him 120m away)

Stuck in a wall (Tried grenades with a friend, pets ect, ect, ect. no joy)

NPC is just not anywhere. (droid updates him to right where I'm standing but he's not visible or on track)


These have been issues since launch and they are still not fixed!! At least fix the droid updates. At investigation 3 it takes 5 minutes for a waypoint update, Half the time I've passed my mark by 2k meters or more. I assume at investigation 4 it will take 8 minutes. I submit and bug report and a ticket everytime I get a bugged mission. I get the usual response to my tickets. "Hi, I'm sorry your having trouble with your mission, the development team is working hard to fix these issues. Is there anything else I can do for you?"


YEAH, give me back my freaking time.

Agh..someone should sticky that Guide to BH Missions thing.
Sure droids are slow. But every "bug" encountered is either caused by yourself or have a way to counter.


If you are too slow and let you mark escape into a cantina, abort.
If your target agro a creature and gets killed, mission is a failure.


I have done 133 BH Missions since I have mastered Bounty Hunter. I have comlpeted every one of them.
(I keep a list for tracking bugs, I have enountered several. But I always get the job done)

I feel your pain. 15 minutes (at least)of wasted game time is at the very least, VERY annoying. Especially to those of us with limited time to play. I ran two missions last night, one was bugged.

Same as Efreak, Ive completed several missions since reaching MBH without any problems.



When I began Invest I had ranger tracking & on occasions I initially couldnt find my mark. But I found if I hung around for awhile & in some cases destroyed the nearest lair he'd appear.



Happened to me on 1 occasion where my mark entered a cantina wall & despite pets etc the bugger wouldnt budge.



Seems like you are near to completing Invest 4....good luck with it.

Oh geez, relax a little there. You can complain if you've gone through the investigation line pre-patch But give some of these people a break, its their first time through and the changes from Inv0 to Inv2 are daunting at times.

Remember, we're here to help (And only I get to tell idiots to use the search feature which is probably nerfed for all I know)

I finished the Investigation Line... Post Patch... only had maybe 6-10 bugged missions... was very lucky! Still... everyone that was bugged was really frustrating! Just gotta abort it and move onto the next mission... you'll get there!

First of all when a problem arises in a game as a result of something I have done it is called a Bug not "bug". I should not be able to cause an NPC to be invisible. I should not be able to cause the game system to think my mark is 5000m away from where he is standing. My marks should not spawn in a cantina 300 meters away from me in the floor.


By putting " " around the word bug you imply that its not really a fault in the coding. You don't work for Sony do you? For you to imply I should know what causes these Bugs, and how to avoid them is ludicrous (big word sorry) I as a gamer should not have to research ways to avoid faulty code. They as programers and game designers should have fixed their faulty code months ago. In closing if you are willing to accept faulty coding and "work with it"good for you and I'm sorry you caved in. By the way, if you have nothing constructive to add please go away.


Now for you good guys. THANKS for the encouragement I appreciate it. I am getting very close to completing Investigation 4 (6k to go) and I look forward to wearing my master title.

I just finished Investigation IV, all of it post-patch, and I had 2 "bugged" missions and the one was on Yavin in the middle of a bunch of Giant Crystal Snakes so I'm sure that the snakes killed my mark. The other time was on Endor it spawned over water and I didn't know about the Mission Incomplete if he is over water and that mission auto-aborted. Be smart about it, the one time the mark was in the middle of the ocean in correlia to the West of coronet. I just sat there and waited for him to hit land and then get him.


The only thing i found hard was sometimes the mark was 100m from where the droid said he was but if your on a bike that takes what 20 sec to find him. I would highly suggest you have ranger tracking.

Unless I missed something (yeah, there's a first) the new resources havent spawned. Unless some of these get pushed out BEFORE launch, the components that require them will be INSANELY expensive. Demand will the ridiculous and if the supply is low SWs will be paying 20-50 cpu for small stacks just to be be able to make the teir 2 and up components.


Start spawning the resources NOW so there will be at SOME supply available and give viable options to those allready spending their life's savings on the harvys or the grind resources to get to master SW.

SWGCraft is not updated to handle these yet. So you won't see them there for a while.
