In some cases, I’ll fire at a guy and his buddy standing two feet away won’t move a finger. I walk through a group of terrorists and can make it about ten seconds away before they notice and start shooting at me. I’ve talked before about the game showing its age, but no more so than the slow reaction that Grandpa is showing me here. This confused me from a continuity point of view: If I’m killing large amounts of a group to distract them, why am I the one who has to plant the bug? Isn’t the point for me to distract so someone else can plant the bug? Someone didn’t think this mission line through (probably me).īut this wouldn’t be a Galaxies episode without me whining about issues I’m having in-game. In my previous few missions, I had to go to several locations and kill 14-16 mobs to distract them, and then bug their antenna. My current role, as I talked of last time, are working for the Royal Security Forces on Naboo, tasked with defeating terrorists, preventing local thugs, and being randomly de-mounted and scanned in Theed. I own the book that the mission is based off of, as seen to the left, and apparently the Death Trooper saga is canon. I found myself traveling back and forth every other mission between Tatooine and Dathomir, two planets that are not connected meaning I had to travel to Corellia, then travel to Dathomir so I could talk to one person, then travel to Corellia, then travel to Tatooine so I could talk to a scientist, who would send me back to Dathomir, and back and forth. The Death Trooper mission, what I did play of it, was a massive pain in the ass even from the Galaxies point of view. So I still have the level 90 Death Trooper mission in my journal, that will sit there for a long time. One of those missions turned out to be the Death Trooper line of quests, that started out as very low level (level 1) and immediately sprang to level 10 and then level 90. Since last week, I managed to find a few items in my bag that took me back to Tatooine to complete missions I never finished the first time.

Well, now has the announcement of the official Death Troopers / Star Wars Galaxies tie in. You may have seen Justin's post earlier in the week following the release of the above Death Troopers promo pic.
