Nar Shadaa Nightlife broken


Pathera

Recommended Posts

So I played through everything except for "Complete “Counterfeit Tokens: Nar Shaddaa”

 

I can talk to the informant, but the Counterfeiter we are supposed to meet does not spawn.. I have informed Bioware, I have reloaded the game, i have reset the quest and started over. Nothing works and Bioware seems to be in no hurry to fix the issue.

 

Also, the Emperor's Slot Machines don't work. Some people have said to keep trying, they sometimes work and they sometimes don't, but have tried multiple times. They never work.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I the only one having these issues?

The counterfeit tokens problem should be fixed by now. I ran it several times yesterday without a problem.

 

Players in-game believed that the emp machines work initially when instances become depopulated and reset, like if there's no one in instance 2 on NS, it will vanish and reset when players log back in. idk if this is true but yesterday around this time I was able to use the emp machines [one of them, anyway] and then they stopped working. idk why BW built so few of them, it's not like it costs them anything.

the Counterfeit Token NS mission worked and works perfectly fine for Republic side ... but still not at all for the Imperial side :(

Yup, it's imp side that's gimped, same with Meksha, some people don't get bolstered till they die and go back to med center, depending on the options you pick, sometimes it won't matter

.

The option to share profits with the guys stops any fight

Hey folks,

 

First off, we apologize for the issues present in the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event. We know it can be frustrating when elements of the event aren’t working and we appreciate your patience.

 

Our next formal patch is slated for July 28th, which will kick off Ranked Season 13 (we have a back-end only patch coming next Tuesday). Right now we are working through a variety of fixes for the Nar event which will also come in with the patch on the 28th. Once we have a full list of those fixes we will make sure to come back and let you know what they are. Separately, we know that the issues with the event can prevent you from being able to participate in it and so we are also going to be extending the event. The Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event will now run until August 25th (previously August 11th).

 

Thank you again for your patience, we will share more info as we have it.

Thank YOU Eric (and rest of the team) .

 

I've been somewhat "harsh" in my criticism recently (*coughs* new social bar) but this is an excellent post from you and i for one appreciate the forthright communication.

 

Now if only we could get some GSF pve missions before 2022....:D

 

p.s. Will the July 28th patch also include 'Swoop Event' fixes too?

Thank you. It is a little less frustrating when we know that a fix is in the works.

While tinkering with the Nightlife event pretty please could you add the Casino Gonk droid as a pet:

 

 

Before the event came back the above thread was posted on Reddit saying it was a new player reward from the PTS. Loads of people really wanted it, myself included. It was quite a disappointment to find out it's just a prop walking in circles at the back of the room.

 

I know it's kinda large for a pet but it looks sooooo cool :)

 

Gonk Gonk!

So it's going to take two weeks to fix these bugs? lol k I'll come back to nightlife when it's fixed I guess. Let's hope the swoop event is fixed in that patch too.

 

For the last years there where no greater patch without mayor bugs. When will this take consequences?

 

It's time to make changes in the management and the team to increase quality.

Something that makes me lol about this extension is that the devs frequently tell us that once they create an event and schedule it, there's no way to change or extend it, it will go through its allotted time and that's that. This is usually said when they screw up during 2XP or the swoops and players ask for more time.

 

Turns out that's BS. If they can extend an event, they could fix this thing a lot sooner than the 28th if they wanted to, they just don't.

Awesome. Thank you very much for the update.

@Eric Musco,

 

While you guys (SWTOR Development team) are it, would it be too much to ask that we be allowed to dress Phrojo Nuray the way we'd like to, similar to the Gamorrean bodyguard, instead of being stuck with his default outfit. Perhaps he could come with a customization slot item that allows us to use his original look you designed, like other companions have, and if we want to outfit him differently, we can.

 

Half the fun of getting a new (rare) companion like this is being able to put him in some cool armor, and to differentiate him from everyone else who might have one.

They never said it could never be changed. They said they need to change event start and end times with a patch. Extending an event, or turning on double XP because of whatever, has to be programmed into the patch, which itself is going to be on a schedule, and depends on whatever other content and fixes are part of that patch's development pipeline. From being on PTS its pretty clear the devs work with builds as a whole, and some things are locked into the build which is set for a specific time, and some things are not. That's why patches are often accompanied by a list of known issues within moments of the patch going live. Some they discovered with internal QA during the downtime, but many they knew about before the patch even dropped, because it was part of the build they were working with.

 

They can extend or enable events in an emergency hotfix, which is a downloadable patch of course, but that requires unplanned downtime which they don't like to have to do. These days we only see emergency hotfixes for serious exploits or severe unplayability issues with no workarounds. Being unable to complete the Counterfeit Tokens missions, not receiving the light/dark buffs, and the emperor's grace machines not resetting do not preclude the other aspects of the event, i.e. you can still use the rest of the machines. More importantly, even before they extended the end to Aug 25, this isn't a one week thing, so there is time between now and the end to fix it. And finally, the most important thing, is that the rest of the game, including planetary dailies, conquest, fps, ops, pvp, gsf, Onslaught story, KOTFE/KOTET chapters ... are all still working. For these reasons you would never see an emergency hotfix to extend an event.

You nailed it, I believe that's excatly what happened with the last event, or too that got extended, it was done with a patch. Definately the double xp was part of a patch.

So after a year later, in 2021, this still isn't fixed? Every online guide for "Counterfeit Tokens: Nar shaddaa" says to go to the Corellian sector. There is no Corellian sector for Republic players; no flight path, no teleport, no guide or direction son how to find it. And there's nothing that hints that the Republic players have a place somewhere else to go. And nobody in game chat knows either.

 

Will I be unable to complete both "Counterfeit Tokens: Nar Shaddaa" and "Dubious Odds" for 2021 or can someone tell me where to go, as a republic player, to get to the "marked site" that's not actually marked on the map?

 

*****

 

Finally got a response from someone to go to the Red Light district for Republic players. Saw the marked spot. Not sure why that information is no where else online.

If you check the planet map, the location won't be shown. Nothing new, it has always been the case with planets like Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa where you have to use a taxi to travel from an area to the other one. If you head to a taxi, click the droid, a green arrow will tell you the area you need to go to for a quest.
