Colow_Leper Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 OK - so it seems that there are two reasons why we can't abandon quests.... 1) A quest has been automatically generated as part of a story arc and, therefore, the player would not be able to pick it up again should he need to. This is working as designed. 2) An automatically generated bonus quest has not been auto completed/cancelled when the main quest has been handed in. This seems to be a bug. However - one question about part 2 - what would happen if I went off to do a quest and started the bonus quest but then didn't complete the main quest - I just abandoned it. Would you then be left with the bonus quest that couldn't be abandoned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyliana Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have 15 non-class quests that I can't abandon. This is affecting my ability to pick up new ones. They are all green/grey and I don't want to waste the time doing them. Please implement a fix for this, or give us a confirmation box. "If you accept this mission, you must complete it" I would be okay with that even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayles Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I picked up one of the bonus series quests that they offer you once you have completed the planets main story line. Straight away after picking up the quest I was unable to abandon it. The quest wasn't collected automatically so if I was able to abandon it I could still go pick it up again if I really wanted to. So why wont it let me abandon it? Bug! Edited January 7, 2012 by jayles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomini Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have 6 or 7 quests in my quest log that I can not abandon, one of which is borked out and the objective decided it wasn't going to be clickable anymore, yet I can't abandon it. The button is greyed out to do that, and it was the last stage of a 3 stage bonus quest. The ones that start after killing x number of critters in an area. So now I can't even drop the quest to see if I can start over, and the clickie is no longer clickable. Confuzzling! And broken. I hope they fix this bug, because I only have so much room in my quest logs and these are taking up valuable real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onstorm Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hmm..that's strange. Don't know what to tell you, it works for me. Works for me as well at least for any quests I've had up through Taris. Though if I were experiencing this I would have to say it would be quite annoying to have a list full of grey quest as many of mine go grey before I get to them. On my character I am rolling now I am lvl 27 on just reached Nar Shadda so a lot of my quests are grey as soon as I pick them up. 5 xp isn't good enough incentive for me to waste my time on them.

Andryah Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have a grey bonus quest from a one time only trooper instance taking place on a ship out in the middle of space that cannot be abaddoned. The quest objective is to "Stay Frosty". Yep, I have that on my trooper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTreta Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Still getting the exact same issue after 1.1. Too bad, I was really looking forward to abandoning those quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agarwaenn Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yep, same issue here. I actually have a Bonus mission stuck that I can not complete (finished the main quest, can not get back in instanced area), and it will not let me drop it.

Alphaeblue Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Pilgrimige from Dromund Kaas has this issue and I'm now 30 levels beyond this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphaeblue Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I believe that if it isn't a vital class specific quest that it should be removed. If it is a vital quest, they ought to create a completely different category and call it "Vital Storyline" so that you know you must complete the quest.

Bracanus Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I believe these are story line quests. All that I have and can not abandon are chains. Still, when you have to go back 2 planets and do grey quests for no gain, it sucks to waste 4 hours on this **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diener Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 14/25 quests that I cannot abandon... So... i have a quest log that can only hold 11 new quests! thanks guys!!!! awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griminal Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Incorrect. The missions that I have which cannot be abandoned are inconsequential to the class storyline. So there really is no reason why a player shouldn't be able to abandon them (for instance, some of them are the "Bonus" missions for Darth Lachris on Balmorra). He didn't say anything about class story line. There are main stories for the planets and these are the quests which can't be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eikai Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Still no fix for this?I am having to get rid of quests I want to do to make room for quests that I need to do because all this garbage I don't want to do being unabandonable. I finally attempted to do some of these obnoxious unabandonable quests and they just force me into more unabandonable quests... fix please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanThursday Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Kind of unfortunate, if it's the "Bonus Series" quests that are getting to be unabandonable, since they're generally the ones that get on my nerves... NPC Fred sends me into a Republic facility with a clear objective- blow up this reactor, or sabotage that computer, or spray paint rude graffiti on that wall... so, I get in... I meet a guard who's feeling less than friendly, I introduce him to my friends Mr Lightsabre and Miss Lightning... he falls over, and suddenly NPC Fred sends a small hover droid after me with "Ooh, actually, while you're there, could you kill twenty guards too, please?" ... So, I kill twenty guards, while muttering about why NPC Fred wasn't capable of enough forward planning to give me accurate mission objectives from the start... and as guard number twenty breathes his last and I think "Ah, now I can get on with the *actual* quest objective..."... a hoverdroid appears and brightly announces "Mission Objective Updating: Steal Thirty Paperclips from the Factory Office!"... ... I can't be the only one who finds these never ending things so annoying that I'd really like to be able to target the quest objective updater droid and Shock it with a dialogue line of "No, you should have told me that before I started out and it's -ZAP- too -ZAP- late -ZAP- now!"
