Shayddow Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 <<In any case, this bug is getting fixed in the 3.2.1 patch next week.

Although I have the vehicle already, having done it with another character <i'm gradually trying to finish Ziost with everyone to get ready for the 4.0 expansion> , only one civilian killed gives you "credit" for rescueing him from the guards around him. This is on Ebon Hawk server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataBeaver Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Just was there grouped with my brother and we couldn't find any civilians that would trigger the mission. This bug has been around for at least half a year. Furthermore, the quest is tied to an achievement and is impossible to return to after completing the Ziost storyline. Would it be too much to ask for it to be at least acknowledged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRieh Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Yep. Can confirm. Still bugged. A friendly advice for scoundrels & other stealth users. A 'working' civilian can be 'rescued' twice. Once you attack the hostiles, he runs away. If you perform the disappearing act (or whatever the instant stealth is called) asap, it would make him respawn. Hence less waiting for the routine resp. Normally I never cheat, honestly, but I can hardly even call that cheating, it's just a way to complete the bugged quest a lill bit faster.

FastActin Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I completed this quest this evening with my Imperial Agent Sniper. There were two civilians in the People's Tower Plaza map that could be rescued, at -2063, 27 and -2092, 36 (in other words, on the south side of the staircase to the door mission, both upstairs and downstairs). Granted, I had to wait for both to respawn, but since there were two, it wasn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLazarillo Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I completed this quest this evening with my Imperial Agent Sniper.

Granted, I had to wait for both to respawn, but since there were two, it wasn't too bad. Been doing this and now, even the one downstairs appears to be broken. I've hit every spawn point, and except for the one being choked at the top of the stairs, none of the civilians are counting for the rescue.

MisterB Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Sorry for the necro post, but I just wanted to point out this is still bugged. Almost three years later and it's never been fixed. That's some pathetic BS, since while it's only a bonus series, it's tied to an achievement and a mount, and you absolutely cannot get either. I tried every spawn point, including the guy being choked, and he just continues to hang in the air being choked by a dead guy, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galolus Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Did it again today and yes, it is still bugged. I managed to finish it though - the usual way, killed several waves/respawns of mobs, probably rescued like 30-40 citizens It is really strange that there is NO SINGLE PERSON in EA that handles such bugs.

tpach Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I just played it and it is still bugged. But has anyone found the entrance to the underground room? I found it once a while back but haven't been able to find it again. There was a civilian down there that I was able to rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytrenor Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Not sure how to trigger the mission to get the achievement. I've freed the civilian a few times (entrance of the tower, to the left), but I can't see any count being log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjoren Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This mission is still bugged. Only certain mob locations give you rescue credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_rogue Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I apologize for the necro of this post, but I found a workaround for anyone who does stumble across this post. It seems that if your companion either kills or possibly even just damages the NPC, it doesn't register for you. Put your companion on passive, and every single civilian will be able to be rescued. I just did some testing, and this worked up until I finished the bonus. After I was finished, the civilians didn't run away, but that may simply be from having completed the mission. Next time I run a toon through Ziost, I'll do another test and update this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quest is still bugged and setting a companion to passive or even dismissing it does nothing. Been stuck at 3/5 for hours with no way of completing it.

Cassianus Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 This bug is very old and apparently its priority in the devs buglist is very low if not zero, sadly... Anyway, here is my suggestion: kill the enemies around citizens as slowly as possible. Especially if you are lvl 75 at the time of this mission, which is quite easy to achieve, you can kill all of them in a few sec with powerful AoE ability. Don't do this, use the most slow attack you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
