Noble Intentions

[Zhym]

I've run "Noble Intentions" twice now, and the same issue has come up both times.

Spoiler

In the Talos raid mission, there's an optional objective to defeat all five raid leaders.  But I can only find four.  There's a thumbtack near [-1,058, 214, 6,939], very close to another thumbtack.  I cleared one raid leader near there, but I can't find another.  I may have even cleared pretty much the whole map the first time through but I was never able to meet this objective.  Is something bugged, maybe?

I think the issue is the level ranges of that mob are low and they run off when lots are dying.

I've run it twice and cleared the raids, but the new arcs are not very accurate with the map markers.  Xiddo has a good point too.    The whole zone is a bit chaotic and some mobs do move a bit.

The devs are aware of this; Something about the critter ID for the Tsoo Raid leader no longer being valid, and so the game is unable to put him where he belongs. This will be fixed in a future patch.

Can the Raid Leaders be killed by other mobs?  Nearby mobs or mobs following can engage in the fighting, I saw a couple of the Raid Leaders take damage not from me.

All the mobs spawn 'aggressive' to the PPD that also spawn in the mission, so they can be killed by other mobs. I was surprised that the PPD also spawned as enemies to the player character, as you're actually trying to stop the chaos in this mission, not adding to it.

If this is the arc with the PCNB (or whatever their acronym is), then they aren't PPD.  And there is a good reason for them to be hostile to the PCs.

Both the PCNB (or whatever) and the PPD are in this mission. As are Family, Tsoo, and Freakshow. Its the 'Riot in Talos' mission.

In an ideal world I guess it’d be great if the PPD only fought you depending on the previous choices you’d made in the arc. But that might be a nightmare to do.

but I kinda get the “it’s chaotic, they attack who looks suspicious”. There are a couple of… special mobs, let’s say, who are defo there for flavour too.

I think the idea is, since you have to be a Rogue when taking the mission, is that regardless of the choices you make in those previous instances you're still a known bad guy to the cops.

 

Striving to do the right thing and shrugging off the slings and arrows of law enforcement is archetypically heroic.

Unless of course you show your true colors at the last moment and beat them to a bloody pulp?
