neoraFIVE Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ever since the launch of the Ziost daily area, I've had problems with the Champion probes that sometimes spawn during [DAILY] Looking for Signs. Anytime my Sage healer manages to kill one, I don't receive the data (mission item). Besides the mission item not dropping, I don't receive any credits or Basic Commendations, which are supposed to be a 100% drop. My Jedi Sage is the only one who is plagued by this problem. I even make sure that he attacks the probe in between heals, but I get the same result. All of my other characters are DPS, so I don't know if this is class or spec/discipline specific, but it seems like it may be. Specifics: Xa'anar is a Jedi Consular who is spec'ed as a Jedi Sage of the Seer (healing) discipline. I'm tired of running away from fights when Champion probes spawn, since it's a waste of effort for this particular character to even kill them. Any help would be appreciated.

Jerba Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Can confirm, this has been broken ever since the daily area released on May 4th: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8181169 However, it is not always bugged. Sometimes, the probes do count toward the achievement and drop loot but not always. I haven't found out yet what's causing it to bug out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had all 4 of the achievements since release, I'm just not receiving ANY drops whatsoever from Champions when doing the daily.

Jerba Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I've had all 4 of the achievements since release, I'm just not receiving ANY drops whatsoever from Champions when doing the daily. Well, the two things are connected. If a probe is bugged, it won't drop loot (including the quest item) and it doesn't count toward the achievement. They are not always, but fairly often bugged. Back when you got those achievements, you should have received loot from those probes though. Edited July 21, 2015 by Jerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoraFIVE Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I did. My Sage is the ONLY one who never gets loot from Champions. Edited July 21, 2015 by neoraFIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoofa Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Strange. I can, hand on heart say, that my Sage has never NOT got all the rewards that go with the champion probes. Could have been lucky I guess, but I've never encounted a bugged probe and my main character is a sage, so she has done that mission a fair few times.

bicklet Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It works fine for my Republic Trooper and Sage, but my Sith Warrior is never able to loot those mobs. Additionally, they seem to pop up with much greater regularity than the standard gold recon droid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demotivator Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Has it something to do with agro? I have killed a few of the champs on my healers and never got the achievements (my tank companion had agro) but a DPS of mine who had agro managed to get one achievement.

Psychopyro Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Oddly, I have found you have to stay pretty close to the droid to get it to drop loot. Anytime I get over 15m (around 15m, don't think it is exact) away from the droid, I get no loot and no credit IF it self destructs... If I stay inside the AOE if it self destructs or if I kill it completely, I have no problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't an issue for me, the character that managed to complete this achievement was a commando so I was keeping my distances. On the other hand my scoundrel who was in melee range had never been able to unlock anything. Edited September 2, 2015 by demotivator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGrunt Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The only times I have not gotten loot was when I failed to kill them before they exploded. Every time I kill them first I get loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
