I'm curious, since nobody ever brings it up. Am I the only one who has this issue?
On rep-side during the quest The Dread Guard, as part of a multi-stage bonus-series, the player is supposed to collect 10 of some item looted from standard mobs encountered in the quest area, then destroy 10 droids scattered there, then kill 3 elites found towards the later quest part and finally kill a elite droid.
First time I did this everything worked as intended, however, with every one of my 4 republic chars, when I picked the quest the following day I was immediately set to the final stage of the quest, i.e. kill the droid. After doing so the quest does not advance normally, but resets to stage 1. If I abandon the bonus-quest and try to get it normally, after looting just 1 of the 10 items required in stage 1, I immediately advance to stage 2, which works as intended, but after completing the final stage nothing happens and I am not sent to the mission drop box for reward.
The only thing that works so far for me is to accept the quest from the mission box, wait till I get the bonus-series at final stage (typically 5 seconds), abandon - in order - the bonus series, then the actual quest and finally accept it again from the box. It seems the quest can be normally completed then.
Back to my initial question : does anyone have the same problem?
