When I visited my stronghold (Nar Shaddaa) today, I noticed that all interactable NPCs were invisible (droids, companions, jawas, Felusia Stato, Barkeeper, etc.).

Tthey still show up as placed when I click on the hooks, but the models are invisible until I pick them up and place them again

However, after relogging, they're all invisible again...

 

Non-interactable NPCs like Twi'lek dancers are not affected.

I'm having the same problem. I tried removing a bunch, replacing some, switching toons, and logging out. The problem keeps returning. Edited November 12, 2014 by RookB

Ditto on the problem, other strongholds are fine.

Happened to my Nar Shaddaa stronghold as well. Was freaking out for a bit there since I thought my Jawas were completely gone. For the time being, I've just picked 'em back up for safekeeping.

Same issue for me as well. Started after the patch this morning.

Likewise. My companions and vendors in my Nar Shaddaa stronghold all are invisible/non-interactable. I can futz through the placement interface to make them visible again but if I leave the stronghold they're invisible again when I return.

I had placed Kira in a spot and when I summoner her while being in the stronghold, she would appear, but before the patch a Holo image would replace her old position. Now there will be no more holo images. However after I dismiss her, she would not reappear back in the designated position. until I go into edit mode to see that she is actually there but invisible. I would then need to do a "pick up/ place" action again to make her reappear.

Thanks for the reports! We'll take a look at this.

 

Are you seeing the issue anywhere else besides Nar Shaddaa?

I had the same problem with placing Tauntaun in the Tatooine Stronghold

As of the patch yesterday, 2.10.3

The vendors i have placed in my stronghold are missing.

If you go into Edit mode and click where you placed them, you have the option to pick them up, then if you replace them, they are usable until you leave and return to the stronghold, then they are missing again.

this is also in nar shadda

I made rounds through my DK and Tat strongholds just to double-check. Waitress, dancer, various animal mounts, guards, vendors, companions were all in place and showing so it appears this is a NS only problem.

It doesnt look that way. It seems, so far, that only Nar Shadaa is effected.

Same here, i'm missing Vendors, Companions and some other NPCs on Nar Shaddaa. No other strongholds are affected.

I have seen this, but only in my Nar Shaddaa stronghold.

 

Workaround: Hit "edit mode", right click the hook where the vendor is supposed to be, then pick up the vendor and place it again. But this only works until you leave the stronghold, whether you just "Return to <planet>", "Exit to" fleet or starship, or log out and back in, with the same or a different character.

The only place that I am seeing this is the personal SH on Nar Shaddaa. The Merchant Droids and Deco Merchant are staying placed in Tatooine, Kaas City Apartments and Coruscant.

Can confirm all Nar Shadaa companions, whether the logged toon or those of alts, have disappeared from view. Only the logged toon can pickup/place their own companions, which promptly disappear on logout. I confirmed this on two different servers and legacies of both factions.

 

While I would dearly love to have the full-"fleshed" appearance of both my logged toon's companions and those of my alts, I really prefer seeing them, even in the *ugh* dreaded holoform, to not at all

 

Please fix this ... thanks BW!

This issue is happening in ALL strongholds.

All interact able NPCs are invisible, Fabrication Droids, Falusia Stato, Jawas, Bartenders, and Companions.

If you relog or switch zones and instances this problem reappears.

Same here - NS SH is impacted.

 

Still shows 100% and I can edit that spot I had them and the SYSTEM thinks they are in that spot.

 

Just can't see them or interact with them. (Jawas, MK Droids, etc)

Just noticed this too. In my Nar Shaddaa stronghold both my jawa scrap peddler and my bartender have disappeared into thin air while Edit Mode shows both should be there.

This issue has also affected "interactable" NPCs including Felusia, MK droids, bartender, etc. all still apparently confined to the NS sh

Yes, it's the lack of the interactable ones that's the real inconvenience. The companions etc. are little more than decorations or RP aids but I use my NS stronghold as my main centre for for all my legacy so having to edit Felusia and the droids or go to one of the other strongholds if I want to buy decorations (or even just sell off junk) is a bit of a pain. Hopefully this won't prove to be too much of a problem to fix.

I noticed yesterday too, that my companions were gone. I'd like to see them back, because the houses seem very lonely without them hanging about.

Hey folks,

 

We've isolated the problem with the vanishing NPCs. It's a server-side problem, and we are going to look to address it towards the end of next week.
