Well, it's spoiling mine too and quite a few others. I harassed Tiggs all day yesterday and now we have "a fix" working on testcenter. Problem is having to grind to 4444 Black Epsilon to try that fix out. I made it 2211 last night, maybe I'll be lucky enough to make it further today.


I can't say I know if the fix worked yet, lots more grinding to do! I got into TestCenter just fine last night, they may be running some maintenance this morning not sure. I just hope it gets fixed as this is the only thing stopping me from Deeding my Decimator in a reasonable timeframe.

Some of you are experiencing missions that fail due to running out of time. For one type you must dock with a craft that is listless in space to repair, and then escort them out of the system. For the other suspected type you must chase down a ship in transit, disable to capture and then escort them out of the system.



  • Is your pilot faction Rebel, Imperial or Neutral?

Imperial



  • Was your first trainer on Naboo, Tatooine or Corellia?

Talus



  • What is the name of or Tier of the trainer that give you the impassable mission?

Tier 3 Black Epsilon (on Yavin IV, imperial outpost)



  • Which mission in the series, or duty mission, was it that failed due to the time limit being exceeded?

Second mission, Tier 3, escort the Hutt smuggler to Nym turf. Times out before I can get to Nym. Tried four times. With four wingmen.

Tiggs did comment. The issue was discovered over the weekend when no Dev's were on duty. Monday morning myself and others hounded Tiggs all morning for a response. She told us they would push a possible fix to test center and that happened yesterday. So it is currently on test center. No one who is on test center has reported if the fix worked or not yet. Unfortunately there are no "Blue Frogs" on the regular test center so to test this fix you need to create a character there and grind to it. (Kinda unreasonable in my opinion but whatcha gonna do?)


So... what should we be doing? Well, if you want to help out, create a character on Test Center and get to it. If you don't want to do that then just relax and wait for the fix to go live. How long till it goes live? Well, from discussions I had with Tiggs they seem to realize how big of a bug this is and they are working hard to get it resolved. I must say, if any other Dev besides Tigsgs told me this I'd throw it in the same catagory as the smuggler upgrade. In this case I think they're doing what they can to get us past this.


I know I have been stuck on my Tier 4 Black Epsilon mission since the 17th due to this bug. I am just as anxious as everyone else here to see this resolved. Tiggs will not post anything about this again until she has something to post (in other words... when it's fixed.) For now hang in there. In my opinion this is the only thing stopping me from deeding my Decimator so I'm chomping at the bit too.


Be patient people and keep those /bug reports coming. Input your experience in this thread, and if you are willing get on Test Center and try to test this. Thats all we can realistically do right now. We don't need more threads on this just more people reporting and testing.

Black Epsilon 4,4,4,3 here on live. This bug is stopping me from advancing as well since the 17th.


Blue Frogs... well I agree for this problem we need to be able to get right in and test it out. Unfortunately thats not gonna happen. To add blue frogs to a server they have to take it down and rebuild it with a seperate image (this is another reason why they don't want blue frogs on Test Center.) Another reason is that when they tried Blue Frogs on test center to test out the village people used it as an oppurtunity to PvP instead of test. That abuse is the direct reason why we won't be seeing Blue Frogs on test center again.


I want to fix this issue badly. I created a character on TC last night and ground through the first two tiers of Black Epsilon. TC is tough because there's no one around. Finding what you need for pilot isn't easy either. The one thing we have going for us is that we already know the missions and we already know how our ships handle and work. 2 tiers in one night wasn't too bad in my opinion. Don't expect to find a group to fly with though, and don't expect to find much in the way of shipwright engineered parts.


Yes, this sucks. I'm not sure what a better solution would be but Test Center is just like any other server. Imagine what would happen on Ahazi or Bria if all of a sudden they dropped Blue Frogs for 3 days. The economy would tank immediately. That is why they're not going to be willing to drop frogs on Test Center Prime. Now, if they would bring up lets say Test Center Bria (like they have in the past...) we could have frogs and everything with no effects to current live or testing servers. That would be my suggestion.

Tigss,

Just push the TC 'fix' to live. It doesn't seem that anyone aware of this problem has a pilot on TC that is able test it. Might as well let us test it in live, its already broken, how much more broken can the 'fix' be? Everyone here can test the 'fix' on live immediately.

Thanks for your attention to this Tiggs.

Lets keep this thread up at the top till we get a resolution. Seeing other folks starting new threads because they didn't notice this one.

Also, any update from those trying on test center? Tiggs any news?

The first fix did not produce results we were happy with and there is another change working its way through internal testing now. Thank you for your continued patience, we want this bug fixed as much as you do.




Thank you for the update. This is exactly the communication we've been dying for from the Dev's. I appreciate the hard work you folks are putting in and plan on continueing my grind on TC tonight. Again, thank you for your hardwork and diligance on this issue and the many others you folks are trying to solve.


(Now this is the kind of Christmas present I wanted from SWG, thanks folks!!!!!!!)

yeah, I'm dying for this too. I have my Oppresor and Decimator all ready to go. Been hording components for weeks! LOL! I was pretty upset this weekend when I found out it was a bug (tried it 10 times or so). Honestly, now I'm just anxious. I'm quite impressed with the way Tiggs and Shadow got right on this and have given us feedback/status when appropriate.


Again, thanks Tiggs and Shadow! We appreciate you working on this and keeping us informed.
