merovejec Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I said it before and I will say it again, these are fine the way they are. First of all the Seeker droid missions are all soloable. The last one is a bit harder, but its possible. Only Macrobinoculars last mission really needs 4 people and as it was stated the other 3 people do not need to be on the mission, just find 3 random guys to tag along, its like 20-30 min of their time, based on how prepared you are.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree. First, finding 3 others to help is extremely hard. Second, if you manage to assemble a group, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to do it, due to bugs (read other posts in this thread). Imo, that's far from fine.

Only Macrobinoculars last mission really needs 4 people and as it was stated the other 3 people do not need to be on the mission, just find 3 random guys to tag along, its like 20-30 min of their time, based on how prepared you are. 1. You're not always guaranteed to get three other people, sometimes you can be lucky, other times not. 2. No it's not 20-30 mins of their time, it's more, it's waiting around time while you try to get others, etc. 3 And are you sure they don't need to be on the mission, as the one before it on nar shadda, anyone that helps you, has to be on the mission and the same point. Possibly because of the leap frog part of it. 4 They've made other H4, soloable by removing the need for 4 players to click buttons, etc. So why shouldn't they not do it to this? 5. This guys point Sorry, but I strongly disagree. First, finding 3 others to help is extremely hard.

Xina_LA Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 You mean three other guys who have got fairly far along on the mission chain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRKMSN Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I will also confirm that I have gone into that mission a couple times using people that weren't on the mission and sometimes they can't actually click what they need to at the checkpoints. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The last time I did that in a pug group it took over an hour and a half. There's a big difference between a group of 4 that know exactly what to do and have done it before together and a pug group consisting of 4 people that don't know each other and a couple of them having no clue what to do. I wish I could find the Dev statement where they said they wanted to address this (it was a few years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceryxp Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Going to abandon them and never touch them again, then. Absolutely no point in having them in the log for maybe several years just in case they make the last steps soloable, and even if they do, I see no point in doing all those steps all over again from the beginning. Not worth the effort, since I consider these chains among the most boring quests in the game so far. Before you abandon them, if you have not already, you may want to reconsider. Yes, it is annoying to have those two missions sitting in your log taking up two precious mission slots, but if you keep the missions then you get to keep the mission items and use them to complete missions that require the seeker droid and macrobinoculars. For example, there are two bonus missions on Oricon, one requires the seeker droid and one requires the macrobinoculars, that can be completed with the mission item versions.

DarkTergon Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks again. Will hold on to them for a while, then. Plus, hopefully, they'll make them soloable, and you wouldn't want to have to start from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TikkyLightmaker Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hey, just an aside on this... Can we still get the Scrapper speeder from this, or is that now available only from those black market NPCs on the fleet (in exchange for a mix of event tokens)?

It's been a while and it's not one I ride often, so I don't remember where unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure to be honest, I know someone said it in one of these threads that they got them, but it was a while back. Had to get mine from the vendor, I've never gotten one from the seeker.

I have gotten 3 of those (BoP) from seeker droid dig sites (on the one character I have that already had 1, unfortunately). I got another one recently from a mob loot drop, but don't remember where that happened (it may have been Ossus). Dig sites are your best bet and be sure to use the GSI Triangulation Enhancer Mark II while digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRKMSN Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Have you checked the GSI office on Nar Shaddaa, Upper Promenade? They only have the THORN rep vendors and the old GSI stuff, The Scrapper was originally part of the Chevin event and not really a GSI thing anyway.

TikkyLightmaker Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I got some parts for 2 separate GSI speeders, this week, but nothing for the Scrapper. The Chevin event happened before i ever played, but i did get the Scrapper on one of my characters, a few years ago. I don't remember if i got it in one piece, or if i had to piece it together.
