MasterSpatula Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The Alderaan Bonus Series appears to no longer be in game. Did they remove it, or is this a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newyankalt Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Should still be there somewhere, I really can't see them making an entire section of the planet worthless. Maybe it's under those exploration missions (probably not).? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpatula Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well, I tried to start it in both factions, and the old quest giver no longer has dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newyankalt Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well, I tried to start it in both factions, and the old quest giver no longer has dialogue. Check Alderaan itself maybe?? The fleet guy may no longer give it. I don't think they said anything in the patch notes, could just be bugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpatula Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 That's where I tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palar Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Maybe they took it out so it wouldn't throw off the level synching thing, since the Bonus series was so further along. They never did say how it was going to work for such planets, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpatula Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think I may have figured this out, though I'll have to wait until I'm home from work to confirm: I think, IIRC, that you have to toggle on that ability to see side quests, and I'm sure Bonus Series count as side quests. I'm fairly sure this is the issue. Now I just have to figure out where the toggle is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure this is the issue. Now I just have to figure out where the toggle is. Well, it turned out this was not the problem. My character that was on the series no longer has access to the missions. Also, I discovered my character that was in the middle of the Belsavis Bonus Series also can no longer access the missions.

Quantiferon Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 So the bonus series quests are gone? I suppose it's not a big loss but i actually liked doing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalier Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 So the bonus series quests are gone? I suppose it's not a big loss but i actually liked doing them. I liked doing them myself. And for me it is a big loss. They shouldn't remove entire quest series. I'd rather have more quests than level sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbanee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Must be a bug because I still got the Balmorra Bonus Series so something must have gone wrong there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpatula Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Must be a bug because I still got the Balmorra Bonus Series so something must have gone wrong there Yeah, I think my characters that weren't in the middle of the bonus series can still do them. It's only my characters that had the series in progress with 4.0 rolled out that can no longer access them. I filed a ticket and was informed that CS will "currently only offer support for class story missions." So not only did they break the missions, but they seem not to particularly care.

Keedmo Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 My smuggler recently finished Taris. Before 4.0 I was certain one of the first quests were to see governor Saresh, but I didn't even see her once this time around. I could not find the bonus series either. I'll fly back there tonight after work and toggle side quests to see if anything changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing_Shines Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 My experience: all toons who hadn't yet started the bonus series can access them still. Any with bonus series quests in progress had the chain broken and can't reaquire, regardless of planet. Didn't file ticket. No longer use ticket system. Know it won't be addressed there.

azudelphi Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Theory: You have to complete the main planetary story-arc first to unlock the bonus series? Edit: Where before I think you just had to qualify by level. Edited October 28, 2015 by azudelphi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanArgent Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I had a character with the Nar Shadaa imp-side bonus series just started - I had picked up the pointer, but not gone to the nbonus series quest zone to get the actual quest start. It's now listed as purple-bannered, but L60. An imp-side character in the middle of the Balmorra bonus series lost it entirely. A couple of Pub-side characters above 60 had the pointer to the Belsavis station mission giver, and lost it; can no longer pick it up. Something screwball is going on with planetary bonus series. Teh heroics in those zones are still accessible via the heroic terminal, so the areas are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vember Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I was able to start the Taris bonus series night before last....couldn't complete it though, because I managed to do a quest out of order and the bonus series quest line would no longer advance.

Pietrastor Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I finished all bonus series and every single planetary quest and side quests. Now they got rest and are available again... Summary: it's a complete mess. Some players lose access to bonus series/exploration missions, some still have them available, some who completed them years ago suddenly have to do them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroticCupcake Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yes, they're gone for the most part. I mean, many of them still exist, they're just not a "bonus series." They're just additional quests you can do while wandering around. It's not an Alderaan-only thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
