Jedi_Slayer Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 There were 3 emails each with an attachemt. Once you put the attachements in your inventory, clicking on each one gave the 3 missions Dulfy mentioned. I had just GTN expire maybe I accepted them in mass and just missed them. I will double check tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwipe Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Edited: Due to feedback from the previous event, the items are actually on a global unlock. I've fixed the writing below to reflect this. Also fixed some other wording. Hi folks, We wanted to inform you all that there is currently an issue with the missions A Lead, A New Lead, and Another Lead. The way the Chevin Event works is that players can find the first six items of the mission The Grand Acquisitions Race whenever at their leisure. The next three items will unlock on a daily basis for everyone, regardless of what step players are on in the main event quest. (item #7 unlocks today, item #8 tomorrow, and item #9 unlocks on Friday). Players are currently running into an issue that when they complete the mission, A Lead (item #7), the UI marks Another Lead (item #9) as complete with no item given to the player. DO NOT WORRY. These three missions are merely hints. You DO NOT need this mission to appear in your Mission Log in order to activate it. It will unlock on a daily basis as I outlined earlier. To be clear, you can STILL play these missions even if they are marked as complete. You just have to wait for their specific daily unlock. For your convenience, I have posted the text for each mission below: A Lead (Item #7 - Akar Kesh Meditation mask): A Sniffer droid is available to aid you in your search for the Akar Kesh Meditation mask, but is still undergoing programming. [unlocks today] A New Lead (Item #8 - Black-and-Orange Sphere): Sapaaga the Hutt is refusing to speak to anyone at this time. Check back with the Hutt observation droid at the Lower Promenade on Nar Shaddaa later, when the Hutt's string of losses may have made him more inclined to negotiate. [unlocks tomorrow] Another Lead (Item #9 - Plasma-Sealed Jar): A Republic Slicing Droid is tapping into the Transportation Network Terminal in Shadowtown in Nar Shaddaa to locate information leading the Plasma-Sealed Jar. [unlocks Friday] Thank you so much for the clarification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newyankalt Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Why would a group without access to the Force make items for Force-sensitives? HOW would they make items for those Force-sensitives? How would they be tested? Testing sabers could be very tragic. At least with ranged weapons you are likely ok as long as you point the business end away from yourself. Who said it had to be lightsabers maybe They could have vibroswords, colour crystals, helmets and masks or legacy bound mods like in the bowcasters.

Isharra Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You do have to watch out for other players, though. I had someone who had taken the quest before me repair my droid, which meant I couldn't do it to move on and I failed the quest. I ran back and someone was nice enough to group with me but then he didn't get credit when we completed the quest, though he did when the crate respawned and he clicked it again (thinking he had to do the quest over). The first group I had been in with another character went smooth as ice so I was surprised when this person told me he didn't get credit. Seems to be several bugs with this event. I had this happen to me too, except without the 'someone else grouped with me to help me out' part. Not my idea of a good time. I play on a PvE server for a reason: my fun shouldn't come at the expense of someone else's, and VICE VERSA. *eye twitch* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jekar Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Am I reading it wrong or all the weapons Cunning only? If that is true then the only thing worth it is the speeder and barely that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwena Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I think there are aim weapons as well. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering: the bowcasters (well, the "Light" one at least) sit on the character's back so that the "bow" part is facing down and is near the lower back. Haven't tried one on Zenith (as I won't be buying a Sniper Rifle version) but it looks like it will be more of a clip fest than the average rifle is on Twi'lek, but not as bad as it would have been if the wide end was at the top while on the character.

OdanBaruq Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Migt missed it if it was mentioned but any idea when this event ends? I been kinda slow at doing ths stuff for it but hate to miss out on half what want to do or even not get enough tokens and it just end. Knowing a time frame would help me know how much 'taking my time" I should be doing and how much I should maybe push myself to do a little more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also decreed that the Shady Dealer will remain for an additional week after the race ends, citing "feedback" as the primary reason.

KKUr Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 To be clear, you can STILL play these missions even if they are marked as complete. You just have to wait for their specific daily unlock. And what is unlock time for "A lead"? My quest seems bugged, I waited for a 24 hours, and anyway can't use that droid crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterskinner Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thank you for your guide Dulfy, you made this event much more enjoyable with your easy and quickly posted information.

paul_preib Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Another Lead can now be completed today! Which side did you pick at the end? I only did the full line on one character each faction, the republic one went sis, imperial went chevrin. That final "leap of faith" was an interesting little twist when you get to it before the process is common knowledge heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadza Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) And what is unlock time for "A lead"? My quest seems bugged, I waited for a 24 hours, and anyway can't use that droid crate. I have the same problem. I've submited a ticket but 24 hrs later I've yet to get a response and still cannot click the crate. The Droid despawned on me before I could repair it and I haven't been able to restart the quest since... Edited August 17, 2012 by Jadza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
