grania Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) afaik, you're never able to defend a crate you've already defended. it always has to be 2 different crates. although you point out something interesting perhaps what bugs them is that people do one and then don't finish the quest, eventually there are none left that aren't in use... That explains why the only working crate wouldn't respawn for me. I thought I was being helpful by inviting another player to wait for it with me but just made it so he would never get it at all. Then again if you cannot defend the same crate twice it wouldn't have mattered if he had gotten it by himself.

Kourage Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 If nobody abandons their quests, then eventually all of them will be in use. EVERYONE need to open a ticket about this or else they will put it on the back burner forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chton Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 this is STILL happening .. Is there a workaround to this issue? Yes the workaround is to not do the quest. Sad this has been going on for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuntaSur Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This quest is still bugged. Just tried it a few minutes ago. How about disabling the quest from the quest giver until this bug is resolved so we don't keep going up there and wasting our time attempting it eh? Also, how hard is it to code an item to respawn every few minutes to clear this up? I thought that was the big selling feature of the "hero engine" in that things like this could be coded quickly and debugged easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habbathejutt Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Seriously, This bug has been out since release. Nearly 2 months now. Time to start firing some programmers, cause they obviously aren't capable of fixing this sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagermiester Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I got it first thing the other day but a lot of times if I do it later in the day they are bugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habbathejutt Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) /Rant ON This mission is INCOMPLETEABLE a lot of the time when this happens. I can't believe they let some of the bugs I've seen get through release, to begin with. But to be 2 months out and STILL have GAME BREAKING issues like this NOT fixed is ridiculous. Hardmode Flashpoint bosses STILL occasionally bug in combat, making the instance impossible. (HK-47 & Jindo Anyone?) Half the damn bonus series missions are STILL clogging up my mission log, nearly a month after you said in your own patch notes that it was fixed. ...and these are just a couple of the ones I've noticed. I understand the desire to put off bugs that require investigation. Hell, I've got a honey-do list on my fridge that I might forget some items on it for a day or two, but if I forget to do something important off the list, like feed the dog for 2 months, he's gonna be dead. Is it obliviousness, laziness, incompetence? I can't see myself continuing to pay a subscription to a game when I can't trust the company to be capable of supporting it. And it's not just about the frustration. If this is how you handle bugs, how can I know you're able to keep my personal and credit card info secure?

Ansultares Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Why not just replace the mechanism for triggering the assault? A mission inventory item wouldn't suffer the same propensity to being locked out. Yes the workaround is to not do the quest.You could try to do it as soon as the servers come back up from maintenance.

Juanxlink Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 After reading a bit, you mean that if we keep the bugged mission in our log we pretty much ensure that most people wont be able to do the quest? It just sounds completely bioware but, just want to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sineptynit Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just opened a ticket and talked to a rep. Apparently they are aware of the issue and are working on fixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuntaSur Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just checked again this morning and it is still bugged and not reset overnight. Perhaps when they try to charge my credit card for the next month's subscription they will receive a similar message: "This is Already in Use" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JedidokS Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 From what I read last time "game breaking bugs" and bugs that "prevent you from continue your progress in the game" had HIGHEST PRIORITY. Now many ppl have had problems completing dailies on ilum for months, myself included.If this is no game breaking **** I don't know what is. HELLO BIOWARE?????? FIX??????

JimmyMac Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Just got to lvl 50 myself and came across this bug. Can't believe this is still happening since lauch.

Kidspatula Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 This quest has worked successfully 2 days in a row for me since the latest patch. So, not entirely sure if it's bugged still? but I always use the same two crates.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftshadow Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I believe it is still bug, well at least on my server. All the shipment crates have a "OBJECT HAS NO NAME" and when you use it, it'll say the object is already in use. Can't do anything to complete the quest.

Fumanchu_Fow Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 To everyone that thinks it has to do with failing to defend the boxes it doesn't. I can verify that it will bug out if you do this quest with 3 people. 2 will get credit and the third person will appear to have it completed. If they look in their log it will says 2/2 but it will be greyed out and cannot be turned in. In addition to this even if they abandon the quest and get it again it still won't give them credit. On top of all that it will tell anyone else trying to use it that it's already in use. I can verify this happens with 3. It may happen with 4 also I don't know as I've never tried it. So if you want to stop people from breaking it try and get people to do the quest with no more than 2 people. I have also read that if you have an ilum2 and switch to it the boxes there will work since it's a freshly created instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renoxodus Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 uh......still bugged. Shouldn't this be fixed by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephane Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 On another note, "Sabotage" is broken in a similar way. There's three pieces of mining equipment, one near the tunnel to the PvP area, one in the edge of some ruin walls, one near the Adegan Crystal spawn. The second one is broken halfway through every single week, the other two sometimes, too. For two days now only the one near the tunnel was doable on my server (Cassus Fett). We even had a week when all three of them were eventually bugged for the second half of the week. Fix these dailies, or at least admit that they are broken, Bioware!
