NeoBlakkrstal Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 From Dev Tracker:Hi everyone, We have been seeing your feedback on concerns about the GS Token unlock cost of the missions for alts. Ideally, we can get it in Collections, similar to how it worked for the Companion missions. These aren't quite the same but we are looking at that as a possible solve, or other changes if we can't make that work. We should be able to follow up tomorrow with the exact plan of action. Our plan is to get a patch out soon (ideally early next week) for this fix, along with some others. For now, this thread will be locked, so we can follow up with more information. I use this for Conquest points, since without this mission it is impossible to turn in Dark Spores, I cannot advance my rep with this group and therefore am unable to get the daily Conquest points for advancing my Rep, which is maxed out on nearly all other avenues. Next week is way to long to wait for a work around to unlock what is the basis of GS5. I think that you guys need to work a bit faster on a fix for this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whykara Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I don't understand, can't you just do the mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can turn in the dark spores without doing the mission. I turned in some last night on a toon who doesn’t have the mission item, active mission or finished mission. Use the console next to the droid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoBlakkrstal Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Yep, I am on a toon, on a server where I did the original mission on a different toon, and I am currently standing where the droid should be, and NO, the droid is not present, and NO, the terminal is NOT there. And it is ridiculous that some Dev thought it would be a good idea to charge GS Tokens to buy the mission from the GS Vendor. There is absolutely no way I could ever accumulate enough GS Tokens during a single GS to buy that mission for all of my alts. I have 33 toons on SF alone. It is reprehensible that they actually thought that would be a great idea that the player base would accept. What a crock.

If it isn’t showing up for you, then you should be putting a bug report in about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoBlakkrstal Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 10 hours ago, Whykara said: I don't understand, can't you just do the mission? You get the mission as reward track 1 that unlocks the droid and the terminal. However, you do not get this mission on your alts unless you buy it from the GS Vendor for 1 GS Token. It does not unlock Legacy wide, it is a per toon thing. And since the terminal does not unlock without the mission, you cannot turn in the dark spores on any toon that has not done the mission. In other words, you will never be able to get enough tokens to do it on all of your alts unless you only have a small number. EAware has spent years encouraging us to make more toons, and the current Dev team is doing their level best to destroy this. It is like they just don't like alts. And this is completely unacceptable. I could care less about doing the story on alts, I just want the terminal unlocked so I can turn in the dark spores. At the very least they need to remove the Terminal from its link to the droid and put it there on fleet for all to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whykara Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 You need to chill, they've already said they're gonna fix it next week. The season lasts like half a year, it's gonna be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gericke Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 If they are going to "fix" it are they also going to compensate everyone who has purchased the mission also? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is wrong you CAN turn in spores without having done the mission, the terminal was there when I went there with an alt that didn’t have the dark tidings mission But as @Darcmoon wrote: if you don’t see the terminal it is a bug Edited September 7, 2023 by Dekibra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phalczen Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Neo, I'm currently on a toon that has not done the mission, on the imperial fleet, and I'm looking right at the "Depository of Dark Wisdom" terminal in the Combat Training quadrant, near the northern tip. 3V-1L is not visible, but I can interact with the terminal and trade in spores if I wished to. Now, I can say is that I have done the mission on a republic character that is part of that legacy, but not on this character. However, I don't think that matters, because just now I swapped to an entirely different server where I didn't do the mission, and was able to find the terminal, but not 3V, in the GTN section of the republic fleet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar-Da-Voya Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 The terminals are in different spots on Republic Fleet (GTN area) compared to Imperial Fleet (Combat Training area). FYI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then to lock the thread so we couldn’t offer constructive feedback 😂😂😂🤦♀️ What they should do is just make it free for Alts. It shouldn’t be in collections, it should just be available on all characters once opened on 1. My wife & I haven’t even bothered to update the game since the patch. We see no point in playing until this is fixed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegaMist Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Done starter mission on one of the toons, logged into a different one, went to fleet - the droid isn't there, but the terminal to turn the seeds is there and is clickable. So, it is possible to turn in the seeds without the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoBlakkrstal Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 Quick update, after consulting here in the forum, and with numerous guild mates across all servers, I determined it was an issue with my toons. I submitted a report to customer service and they got back to me within 5 minutes. The agent had me log out and after about an hour the situation has been resolved. I truly appreciate the speed at which customer support dealt with this issue. And thanks for all the feedback I received from the player base. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off topic, and it is true that your critics aren't paying your subscription fee (a necessary prerequisite for posting). However, I will say that if you care about people actually reading your contributions, you ought to choose formatting that makes it readable/accessible to the widest audience. When one is discussing a bug or other gameplay breaking experience, one ought to care that people to read their post. After all, one usually wants such a problem to be fixed. Responses like the above have the appearance of entitlement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no default font or text setting on these forums. Which means people like @NeoBlakkrstal make the conscious and active decision every single time they post that their text is more special and more deserving of being read than everyone else who uses regular font. It's the literal epitome of entitlement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
