Kezra Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have a theory, but I haven't tested it yet beyond this single instance. I play a Jedi Sage and my partner in crime plays a Jedi Guardian. He did reset and then got it just fine from the red Rakghouls in the tunnel, but before he did that I got him to turn off his Guard and Soresu form abilities, so he was on the same buff set as me (Sprint, Force Might, and Force Valor). I'm wondering if the damage altering/shunting abilities somehow mess with the tracker? If not, no harm done, but if so, hopefully that can help the people who are getting the glitch even after resetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Panda Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I reset the quest and attacked the first red rakghoul I met and it updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCOTA Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 my soresu form and guard were active, i still just had to reset and then i got infected no problem. Entering story areas seems to break the quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agerwaen Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Quest still not working propertly ;\ Reseting the quest helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-cinders- Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Abandoning the quest then getting attacked still the only way to complete this quest it seems. At least this way just worked for me. Too bad, kind of a cool story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeln Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The group that worked for me was the one not where the map inidicator shows up, its the group right outside of Aurek, say around 711,129. Tried three groups around where the quest icon shows up on the map as the area to get bitten, and those groups did not infect me, but the first group I tried close to Aurek bit me very quickly.

Ancaglon Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I got this from a red rakghoul exactly where the indicator center was. Others elsewhere did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsinePete Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Had the problem also, just reset the quest. That should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trazaman Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 why u still no fixed this quest after a lot of times? u serious bioware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMehler Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 If, like me, you are getting infected and the quest does not move on to the next part just reset the quest. This bug has happened to me 3 times already with 3 different characters and after I reset the quests it will update and move you on the next time you are infected.

Hilliked Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I didn't get infected until I was in a completely different part of taris when i was soloing a heroic and was fighting a chapmion rackghoul and in one hit it infected me to level 5 and completed that part of the mission.

GSimpson Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Same thing here. Got the quest yesterday, didn't notice it was timed. Logged off, then on this morning, did some daily space battles, then noticed it was timed. Got infected multiple times, no luck. Read on here to Reset the quest and bingo, objective completed on the first infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 When my husband and I were grouped for this mission. I got infected immediately and he couldn't get infected at all. It seems like some mission objectives can't be achieved while grouped, there have been other instances of one or the other of us who couldn't complete something until we broke the group.

Urzas Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I had an issue with the quest earlier myself, I was with my husband and he got infected after the first one attacked us. I attacked another 3 (yes I went after the big red ones) and got nothing so I just reset my quest and got it on my second one. Same here, killed dozens with no infection. Reset the quest and got it on first hit. Edited March 21, 2012 by Urzas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnop Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Infected by Rakghoul Mauler (Chemworks Factory). Was doing "Burnoff" quest and found this Rakghoul in the easternmost room. He infected me on the first hit. I hope that it works for you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintesta Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yea just so you know waiting for the full hour and a half is a waste of time. it just restarts so I don't see much of a point for the timer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindsplitter Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If you fast travel, log off, or leave the planet, the quest timer will start when you return, but you WILL NEVER GET INFECTED. Just abandon the quest, pick it back up and get in a fight with a strong / elite ghoul. It will update instantly. Good luck. Sorry for the necro.

No, necro good in this case After being infected about two dozen times with no quest update this had me so frustrated that I logged off and haven't played my GS in a week. I'll have to try this later today (I did in fact abandon the quest before the rage quit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakaOkamii Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thank you, kindly. This forum helped. To confirm the resolution given, I was having the exact same problem, abandoned the quest then re-accepted it, problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonSabella Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I fought Rackghouls for about an hour (including the big red-colored silver elites) and could NOT get infecfted. Then I read this thread and Reset the mission. After resetting, I fought three small normal groups, and still no luck. But then I fought a big red-colored silver elite next and FINALLY got infected. He was located at... X:-667, Y:-323, Z:-126. So I do think hitting Reset on the mission is the key. And you still may not get bitten right way. I'm not sure if finding the big red-colored silver elite was necessary to be bitten or if it was just coincidence. Maybe normal onces can bite you too....but I'm not sure based on my experience.

NamBoon Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 There is a bug but it only occurs when you have the mission active, then leave Taris. If you have done so, reset the mission. I kept encountering the bug and would get infected x5 and nothing would happen. As soon as I hit reset and attacked a normal rakgoul, I was infected and the mission updated.

Laoghaire Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I didn't leave Taris. I logged out. Next day, get infected lots of time, quest doesn't proceed. I was surprised to see the bug has been around this long, since it was acknowledged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
