Thread: Did pub 17 fix heavy X-wing 'weak' answer quest bug?

What they post in the update notes regarding this is basically:


Did you know! you can converse with certain escort ship captains....


This implies that the fix was always there (nothing was broken) and we are all dummies for not having figured it out.


The fact is, I tried this pre-17, and it was not possible to converse with escort ships, period.


SOE / developers -- if this works now, then the fix was added with 17.


If it does not, then it is STILL broken....


IN EITHER CASE, you owe your community an apology for LYING by IMPLICATION -- "did you know you can" implies this was always the case, I tested it, and it was not, pre-17.


Try to save face and instead you make yourselves look like the inept team you are.


"GAH" indeed.

Umm sorry to burst your bubble Vid, but this was ingame pre17. I don't remember what prompted me to /comm one of my escort ships (something in the mission text) and I got exactly as advertised. It was specifically in one of the CPG missions, and not just your general everyday escort, but it was Live and working.


This has nothing to do with the Eyma "wrong answer" loop as far as I know. Care to enlighten me on how this fixes that, if it does?


As for teh question of the OP, I didn't see anyone from TC post anything about checking this, so if the servers ever come up, I'll obviously be looking with my stuck (since hourtwo of RotW) pilot.

4 escort missions in, i tried each, and none would speak to me, so it must be borked on ahazi, or it's a latency thing, or it's just plain borked.


In either case, after 4 i gave up.


As to how this is supposed to fix it -> apparently if you get more information regarding the pirates from your escort ship you can return to the station "with more knowledge" and proceed from there. Obviously if that worked for you and you still can't proceed then it's still "another issue".

As I said, the /comm worked on one of the official missions, not one of the Duties. I also don't think I was talking to the freighter on the toon that got stuck, but with my alt.

I asked 2 CSR's and TIggs when this quest would be fixxed.The only answers any of them would give me is its a known issue and they didnt know if the next publish would fix them or even when it would be released.


I is not fixxed in Publish 17 and you CAN NOT do any of the new quests untill you complete it.


We are SOL!

I believe I answered "weak" and continued on with the quest. Think you need to go to rebel outpost in Kashyyk and speak with them

AEK is wrong - that doesnt work!


I dont think that the fixed the "weak" bug with this publish, its so big they would have said it instead of telling us they fixed certain typos with certain missions!


However I MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESET IT PRIOR TO THE SERVER GOING DOWN!


I will update this with how i did it, if it works, if and when the server comes back up.


If they fixedthis with thepatch it will work, and if they didnt my way works ill tell you all how to do it!

Dont ask me what it involves - I dont even know if it works yet - however, i did get the start of the conversation train instead of the loop when i quickly checked it just before the servers went done 18 hours ago!

lol.. I don't think even dropping pilot would reset it, actually. I tried that in beta (just to get a different ship, I didn't know about this bug then) at one point and it didn't let me start over. Think it was due Eyma's half of things being ground-based.

You know what the deal is, you're supposed to be ambushed by the Ghrag the moment you hit Kashyyyk space after the strong/weak question--it's not even a mission, it's just a trigger that happens on your way to speak to Kashyyyk station. Once you take care of them, you move on to the next leg of the quest. Say they're weak, however, and that ambush never shows up.

That probably makes a fix somewhat more complex, or at least different. I'm continuing to hammer away at it, though.

I was.
I'm still stuck, and I cannot /comm any of the ships I escort either, despit "did you know" notes in the p17 page.... though apparently some can...

Okay, let me try to remember how the process goes.. so you were ambushed, but after that, Eyma doesn't give you another mission? And the Kashyyyk space station only offers you duty missions?
