I started my Oratan Payback daily and proceeded to the secret camp. Upon trading him the arkoins I selected proceed and got the usual "Establishing secure connection". While waiting I was killed by a Nusul (why is there still no smuggler to act as a sentry?), and received the message "you must be alive to perform this action". Going back to the smuggler now he has a blue exclamation mark and does nothing when interacted with. Are my arkoins just gone forever now?
If u cant talk to him again , i guess so , never happen to me tho , those big nose bastardz tried to kill me many time
If that happens again, try quickly logging out. I visited the site once, paid my arkoins but then had 2 leave the game. Was not able to log back in until & day later, yet still was able to continue to the camp
Relogging alone did not work in my case. Maybe when I head back tomorrow his blue ! will go gold, if not I guess its gonna be a support case =/
That blue exclamation mark indicates that its done already so must be a glitch. Tomorrow should be back to normal. I usually clear out the nusul after completing my daily. You might want to send a msg to Dylan here in the forums, he may be able to help with the loss of arkoins and he can look into fixing it in the future.
Just a quick update in case anyone gets this issue in the future. It was a few days before I could play again, when I went back however the blue ! was gone and the Smuggler asked me if I wanted to go to the camp now. No trade was required.
As long as your daily 100 are not finished you can leave and re-enter the instance freely. This is useful not just to avoid disadvantage because of RL interference, but also if you rather go fishing instead of your army duties. The Smugglers don't mind.
