SensusSW Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Ok, so I'm in the process of getting all the datacrons and two on tatooine, the ones where you need to take the balloon to get them despawned right before the sand crawler. That's about an hour and a half wasted for nothing............. Anyone else have this problem and if yes is there a way to fix it? Please reply!

Agobi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Its a known bug,been around for a while... No idea if/when they will get around to fixing it (Still cant get my type 3 body through the cracked door in panteer castle to get datacron there either ) Edited January 21, 2012 by Agobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesperr Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Find yourself a jugger or a guardian and ask him to homerun facepunch you on top of it. Mercs/comms with improved knockback might work too, not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SensusSW Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Oh, well that sucks and would've been good to know earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain_b Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks to the assistance of a guild mate and a little ingenuity I got the two datacrons on the sand crawler without riding the balloon. I can't find the video to the video we made, here is another one: Edited January 21, 2012 by iain_b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrard_Ennui Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 hour-long boring gameplay experience culminated in a crippling bug? Working as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orvish Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It just happened to me. Was almost there and then a splash screen popped up and I and the other riders found ourselves on the ground with the balloon nowhere in sight. Was able to get the Blue Shard by force charging a guy standing just inside the alcove, which put me on the Sand Crawler, then charging his companion who was standing by the shard. Then dropped down as usual for the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaskia Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I've attempted to get those datacrons three times now. One time was my own fault for jumping off too soon, the other two times though were due to the balloon despawning on me. This bug is enough to make me give up trying for those datacrons for a while (and I have almost every other datacron a Republic character can get: Ilum being the other planet I haven't gotten them all on yet). Fix it please! (and put boosters on that silly thing while you're at it! Or let us build a ramp on the sandcrawler itself :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravioli Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I heard this happens most often when someone on the balloon goes afk. So you are taking a chance getting on the balloon with people you dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentnall Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Happened to me and a guild mate earlier... F' Ridiculous... over 40 minutes wasted... doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtim Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Happened to me and a friend. By far the most frustrating thing I've encountered in the game. Wait for the balloon for half an hour, followed by riding the balloon for 45 minutes, and then *poof*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sernon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I noticed they plugged the backdoor to the datacron in Mos Ila, if I had been tasked with priorities, I would have fixed the balloon first, given the annoyance it represents. It sends a certain signal to plug the convenience before the annoyance. Yep! --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnzie Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Happened to me as well today. It literally vanished just before the datacron's sandcrawler. All this waiting, even if it actually worked it would still be meaningless waiting for something that's supposed to be a fun game. The most boring, pointless crap I've seen. And it's even bugged!

Blotter Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks to the assistance of a guild mate and a little ingenuity I got the two datacrons on the sand crawler without riding the balloon. I can't find the video to the video we made, here is another one: POsting things like that just gives BW the evidence they need for fixing an unintended pathway to the datacron.
