xordevoreaux Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) And SPOILER! Spoiler It's not the stupid terminal despite the fact that the quest says it's the terminal. It's somewhere else in the room. Hundreds of people will be crammed into that cantina this afternoon all vainly clicking on that terminal when that's not even what you need to click despite what the quest description says. Better were it to read: Find the slicing device located somewhere in the same cantina as the terminal.

Brain says follow quest instructions, which say to go to a particular cantina to satisfy that phase of the quest. Going anywhere else won't satisfy that phase. https://i.imgur.com/8xwSk40.png Edited October 20, 2022 by xordevoreaux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamelt Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Other cantinas? Do you even know what you're talking about? Did you do any research before contributing absolutely nothing of relevance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do any research before contributing absolutely nothing of relevance? The quest "The Cheating Algorithm" requires you to travel to four cantinas on pub side: Coruscant, Alderaan, Tatooine, and Nar Shadaa. That's what I'm talking about.

xordevoreaux Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 There's three issues here: 1. Only one quest click item per map for each phase of one quest 2. A ridiculous respawn timer on the slot machine for another quest (catching cheaters) 3. Confusing quest notes which say what to check for the quest update on Coruscant isn't what you need to be checking at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are - both screenshots are from Coruscant where the quest in question takes you first and the catch cheaters quest you are obviously talking about is a season objective and NOT what he meant at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZUHFB Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 ok, I'm just going to say this once: PLEASE LISTEN CAREFULLY. It's ISN'T the slot machine, it is: Spoiler behind the counter - like an all other planets too so I don't really understand what the slot machine has to do with anything but the season objective. I hope you have a wonderful night, just set your alarm clock to 4 A.M. and then try to click the slot machine, I'm sure it will work /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illgot Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 First one was behind the bar, the others were around one was outside the building. There was nothing interesting about this quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingdeadjedi Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 What's worse is catch the cheating gamblers weekly where you have to find 20 of them. Only one person can catch them when they spawn each time, and with 5 or more players camped around to get them you have to be quick. Only solution I can see is wait for all of them to get all 20 and then it will be easier 😕 Especially when you get the players who run in while you've been waiting, thinking they can bully you out of it like I've just witnessed.

Achnaattwo Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 found out it's not the slot machine, the wording in the mission, may sound like the terminal is on the slot machine. Heck, the Alderaan is behind the cantina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MishaCantu Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I finished the 20 cheaters and it only took a little over 2 hours standing in one place waiting for the single npc to respawn every 5 minutes or so. Then I waited for them to count their chips, play the game, yadda yadda, until they decided to cheat. I didn't have to fight for it, nobody else was there, but still, the only challenge to this was to my patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eabevella Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 The number and the respawn time are simply too few and long. Plus fact it's not share tagged, it's a giant fail of design. This need an emergency fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in this case, i'm guessing BioWare probably figured it could maybe be a potential cluster-yuck on DAY ONE when everyone logs in for the mad rush and then the crowd starts to dissipate as the subsequent days proceed and everyone gets bored or moves on.

eabevella Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Probably true. Good thing that I live in pacific asia so I'll give it another try in the afternoon which will be 4AM US time when even the fleet is quiet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
