"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

the original bug the bot took a step when it spawned causing it to move way off course, this bug sounds like its just not respawning period
Hasn't this bug been around since Issue 19?
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

In one form or another it's been around a very long time: it's the same bug that makes the target dummies in the Rikti War Zone vanish from time to time.

It really kind of sucks. Can either hope for the zone to reset on it's own. Hope for the ticket to get answered in a reasonable time frame.
Or what I end up doing is just deleting the character and restarting and skipping that stupid mission. :/

So I re-iterate ... even though there hasn't been enough time yet for Paragon Studios to *do* anything about this since I filed my bug report and petition ... this NEEDS to be fixed before Freedom, and Free to Play, go Live.

It just needs to be fixed, but as a matter of clarity. Free players aren't going to be starting in Praetoria for their first run. They have to either go VIP or buy/obtain the going rogue entitlement before making their first character.|

Still it needs to be fixed. It really needed to be fixed when it first started to occur many issues ago :/.

Bug reported in [Incident: 110806-002464] and petitioned in [Incident: 110806-002402]. GM_P_Kalin kindly responded to petition in under 10 minutes, and I believe is escalating this to Sr Support for review after documenting spawn failure.
The Broken Clockwork that should have been located around Interrogator Hoffman near the beginning of the Tutorial were simply AWOL/not present, and they were most certainly not (re)spawning in their proper locations. This is a problem because Interrogator Hoffman gives new players a mission to defeat 1 of these Broken Clockwork ... and obviously that cannot be done if said Broken Clockwork don't (re)spawn. This then causes a Mission Chain "blockage" where new characters cannot progress to the next contact before Reese. After GM_P_Kalin documented the Spawn Failure, I searched the map (at ground level) and was able to confirm that the Missing Clockwork were NOWHERE on the map at street level (meaning they had NOT been consecutively KBed by a Griefer someplace useless, like across the map).
Needless to say, this leaves a *BAD* first impression for new players who have never played the game before to enter a tutorial and encounter a broken mission chain within the first couple minutes simply because the mission target is stubbornly failing to spawn. Recommend that this issue needs to be fixed before Free to Play and Freedom launch ... otherwise you may leave a LOT of new players with a Bad First Impression.
