    Yellow NPC's

    Has anyone noticed since the super server merger that when you do a mission in close quarters, like a cave or building that once you kill the bad guys and have to come back out the bad guys that respawned nameplate is yellow (non hostile). I have my alt on Tatooine and noticed that last night. Though, I did notice that droids still respawn hostile.

    I hope this is the new standard I always hated to have to kill same guys again after completing the objective of the mission.

    Always been the case

    It is actually always been the case. There are a finite number of quests that once you kill the required number of the target mobs they turn yellow. Tatooine has several of these quests. It is not common across the board though.

    Really? been playing since the beginning and never saw this happen. Everything always respawns red to me. Fight my way in, fight my way out. How I make money and xp's. Even if i did get the mysterious yellows, I'd kill them anyway.

    I do believe there are a couple of quests on Tat that involve you "coming to an understanding" with a chieftain or what not. Of course the chieftain is in the back of the cave. Your allowed to exit.

    An example

    Here is am example from Tatooine, on the imp side you are given a quest to kill suspicious something mobs. They have the elephant like faces. The mobs start yellow and when given that quest they turn red. When you kill the allotted number they become yellow again. The mobs in question are strongs and they are littered throughout mos illa. Its the most common example but I have run into alot on tat.

    Ok that answers it. I was after a Jawa with Force powers. I guess I was just hoping.

    Yeah... I think you have to escort him out. But that may depend on your choices when dealing with him.

    That's it, I had to escort to the entrance of the cave and turn him over to Imperial Troopers. I had the option if I went Dark-side to just kill him.
