on EU it seems that the mission: Old friends , old swords is bugged, it tells you to save the ranchers and points you to a location. There are no ranchers here at all and all that happens is the mobs keep respawning.
Whats wrong with it?

Same bug on PS3. Or you go on step 3 of the mission and you must rescue the farmer and the farmer is bugged, impossible to activate the next step. !!!!
Same happens here, did it with 2 other people. Nothing progressed and as more people came to the farm area to get the farmer, they left cause it was bugged.
Same here done all my side quest carn't continue main mission so stuck waiting for fix .First thing that got on my **** since i started play Defiance.Hope they fix soon:mad:
When I got there I found two ranchers running around in Circles in the field nearby, no idea where the third is.
Same problem here I get there and see three ranchers tied up so I release them and then the objective does not update, The ranchers eventually re-spawn and the raiders re-spawn as well.
Hopefully this is patched soon very annoying as it's a main mission and I'm just stuck not playing. :mad:
Ran into same issue as well, filed /bug report in game.
I will try to send a bug report in world as well good idea. Might see it faster there? They never post on the forums for me so I'm not sure if they answer here or what.
Same here, submitted a ticket, though I am not hopeful. Still have one outstanding from the 5th...
When you get the mission from Torc, It says go to minwok ranch but the marker is one of the ranch hands not for ranch. Is this correct or did the game designers make a mistake. ?
Idk how but on my second try everything went smoothly cause I did it by myself.
I believe the problem happens when other players interact with the objectives... meaning if anyone else is there before you, or show up and help while you are there it will bug. Ive considered letting mobs kill the farmer in the barn and revive him afterwards, but havent tried it yet.
Guess ill go find a shotgun and play some competitive for a bit
Still broke, I've sent in 2 bug reports. HELP!!
Ive had the same issue. The ranchers are running around but there is only 2 of them and when the raiders are killed they respawn back pretty fast. Ive tried to go to the ranch first like the mission suggested and ive also tried to abandon the quest and re-try and logout and relogin.
The only thing I can think that may mess this mission up is earlier before I got the mission there was a wandering hulker near there and the prisoners were able to be rescued. So maybe the wandering hulker has something to do with the mission being bugged but regardless I submitted a bug report and shall be stuck like the rest until it is fixed.
I have no idea but it's really annoying also I cant seem to find any more episode missions??? Did I already play through them all up to this point? Not much else to play just the repetitive side missions.Quote:

I want to play!
i am stuck here as well. same issues. but i have noticed a lot of side missions that are locked up as well. tons of those tracked things that pop up out of the ground. There are no bad guys coming out. they are just sitting there with the tracks spinning. Some only part way out of the ground.
I think there needs to be a server restart for these to get cleared up. its been a few days since the last restart and the bugged stuff is starting to build up.
well it looks like after the quick reboot of the servers it almost fixed it. you can get pretty far but when the farmer is trying to help his friends in the barn it locks up again. he just sits there trying to heal nothing in this barn stall.
bump.. is there another forum we should post this in so the devs do something.. this is pretty game breaking if you cannot complete the main story.
Go to https://support.trionworlds.com/app/chat/chat_launch
My quest was fixed within half an hour of me contacting the live chat :)
I was able to complete the mission.
What I did: Start the mission, go to the first waypoint. I joined a competitive match (I completed the entire match). Then when I respawned back into the game after the match I was able to see the ranchers at the first waypoint and complete as normal. Then I ran into the ranch and completed all the objectives and the mission completed.
NOTE: No other players showed up or was around for the entire duration of my attempt, not sure if that is what is bugging it as others have said.
Good luck!
I'm still stuck on this mission and ready to stop playing because I can't even progress in the story until they fix it. I've tried it more than 10 times now, submitted tickets, and still haven't got a reply yet.
I've been trying to get past this bug since around 8pm est it's now 3am. :mad:
As posted in PS3 thread ....
Happy to report (as suggested by other people who had been in this predicament), I logged in at 8am and there weren't any other people around, the ranchers were there and I managed to do the quest. It seems to me that if someone has already started the quest and released the three initial hostages they won't be there if you're out of range to 'share' the quest objective.
So until it's fixed, unless you skip it as per the person above, I'd suggest waiting for some obscure time when there's less people about to try it.
This is still an issue,
the farmers are present, they are just a little south of the indicator.... however they keep resetting.
My friends and I spent our night last night trying to finish this mission. We never saw ranchers at all, just Raiders and a Hulker that we killed. We went through several respawns of Raiders, went and did a co-op map, came back and still no ranchers. We then spent an hour running around the ranch killing everything (and found a data pad in the barn).
For the most part, I'm pretty patient with bugs like that having to be ironed out. I don't mind running around doing other stuff, and there's plenty to do. However, some of the episode stuff requires being in San Francisco. If we're unable to move forward in the mission thread, and therefor unable to get the mission to go to SF, and can't complete the episode content, and then it's taken down before we can reach it....then I will be a bit irritated. Hopefully this kind of thing is taken into account and the content remains up long enough to allow those of us roadblocked in the thread to complete it.
This worked for me. Other people even arrived during the end stage and it still completed.Quote:
