    Oh and any warrior doing this mission you may consider waiting for the weapon bonus [Version 4.2.W] before completing, because the item print may be better than [Version 4.0.W]. PP and PS [Version 4.2-PS] remain same.

    [Work* Computer]

    Yes.

    Check your versions.... Thats what they are there for, and why the actual print that you get may change in a month to something else. It may make things more intresting!

    I don't understand, and it may be my lack of knowledge on such things, but why put in the reward as it currently stands knowing it was more or less a joke reward? You've already updated (on your end, or the Dev server) the mission to reward something else, why not just put that in to start with?

    And since someone mentioned it, you do not actually get either item, my guess would be you get the item schematic added to your build list. I did not receive any items but was told what I had gotten/would get in the NPC talk-tree.

    *sniffs the air*

    Is that a P-wipe down the hall?

    Ive actually been wondering the same thing lately...

    With all the missions going crazy, log-in/server problems, the additional bugs that have sprung up, they could easily P-wipe and revert to a older play server till they get the new stuff more solid.

    Will check (later tonight) but there may be some other reason.

    I wonder if she has a faction that you have killed. Who knows.

    I will be not online for about 6 hours, and even then will only do a cursory check, as won't be online long.

    I'm not sure why she isn't giving it to you but you may be faction challenged or you may not have done all the pre-requirements.

    Remember, killing Progen faction (centuriata? collegia? sabine?) may be bad if trying for bonus missions in future!

    [Tired from content push last night]

    ps. I'm sure someone will build it for you in game.

    My Centuriata Warrior faction is +7689

    My Collegia Trader is +9137

    And Sabine Explorers is +5005

    The only other Progen-based factions I have are Renegade Progen (at -4795) and Progen Combine (at -1457).

    I'll do some more checking around tonight on it. With all the ups and downs last night I didn't get much time in-game. See if I can help figure out if there is some random bug in it.

    It took me less than two hrs to do the lvl 100 HU mission. Less than an hr to do the manes in ST3 (3x on two different toons, for a total of 6 times) and now, its even easier, you don't have to go all the way back to Endraigo after each manes kill. The items in the shield are readily availible from existing items in the game. It cost me in ST3 post oops wipe about 40 mill to print the shield, obtain all the comps, and print them.. Build cost for the actual shield is about 8 mill if i remember right.

    But the point of my statement, is that you USED a terran to print a uniquely progen item. It should be in the way of a schematic to ensure that this item doesn't end up in terran's hands.

    I see where byakhee is going with some of these missions and personally, i like it. Just make the weapon equally nice for now :P Ballista would be just groovy!

    I don't know about it being easier now, with the 66 Manes Engine Hacking and usually staying out of sap range, combined with it hitting like a truck hauling trucks, the last step can be rough. Of course with a healer its easy, maybe thats the way you are reffering to it.

    Eh... a Terran tries to make some profits and people get all bent out of shape. I feel like I need to quote Andrew Ryan in here somewhere, something about the sweat of a man's brow.

    The BBW drones are much more profitable than the Paramis ones due to prototype loot + more comp drops.

    I'm curious if the free build mentality will carry into live. I gave a bunch of these to guildies for nothing or friends for next to nothing, but that's different than supplying people who couldn't be bothered to invest the time to do the quests.

    I doubt it will carry into live. And just because someone doesn't have the shield doesn't mean they wouldn't invest the time on the mission, see my case.

    I don't wonder. Feeding a shield that took let's say 25 hours of questing to obtain to a terminal with a 41% success rate to analyze = madness.

    A schematic = 100x better.

    Btw, trying to make a 200% lvl 9 item with 4 pm only comps, and 2 non-manu comps isn't cheap. :P (50 mil is not an issue to anyone who can use the shield, one hour of work max - Cash is 100% useless anyways at "end-game").

    Honestly, this is the only reason I've been after the shield so hard. I've got a TT friend in Builders who, if he analizes it, will build it for push button. If you can make 50mil in a hour (which is BS, drones won't even do that unless you are real lucky on drops) then why gouge people for the shield?

    Ah you've done 2 missions in one there Whitefighter

    To continue

    Take medal to Inturic Vigoaare

    If she is the chick that is in the lounge of Nor-Vor planet station, I've talked to her 3 times and she won't give me any missions :D. Ive even tried swapping the medal from cargo to vault and back to cargo. I can't remember the name right now, so that may be a different NPC you're talking about. At the time though I read through the mission talk-tree and was told to take the medal to an NPC on Nor-Vor station for more missions, so I went there but didn't have any luck.

    Well here is what I've done -

    I started the main HU100 mission and completed all of it.

    I started and completed the 2 side bonus missions, kill the manes and the other I forgot what all I did.

    Upon finishing the Kill Manes mission, I was given: 3 Mortar projectile rounds, 3 mortar plasma rounds, a single ammo sample for a CJ (ML), and a Symbol of Loyalty commendation medal.

    At 135 I did not do the mission, I had only finished the Kill Manes mission a few days before and (Was under the impression) I had gotten ripped off by not getting anything out of it (not even some XP)

    Since then I have been to EVERY Progen-factioned station in the game, and to Nor-Vor station (which you are told to go there when you get the medal and finish kill manes) 3 times, no one has any missions for me. I've also been to Anjuran Kerr and he tells me he has missions for me if I have a medal proving my loyalty to the Republic. But him and his two friends offer me nothing. This could be do to faction or not yet implemented missions, atleast thats what I figure.

    The only thing I have figured is their is no reward for the HU100, but doing it unlocks the lv135 (which I skipped) and you get the reward there? I doubt the reward is something I'll drool over, for me its just I did the work and if their IS a reward I should have gotten, I think I should get it lol.

    ok so as of right now, a PP/PS gets an mappable shield and a PW gets a mappable PL(?) weapon. Seems fair to me. I however completed the missions and the only rewards I got was some mortar ammo samples, and some missle ammo sample, both are vendor sold. I should have gotten a PL to map though right?

    I like it. Just hopefully its something a little better than Archos/Biles as those drop constantly (right now).

    GMs should not reimburse players wanting their items

    The reward will eventually be for those building items.

    Am I reading this wrong or does this mean GMs (for now) should reimburse players that didn't get the CFB reward as these changes haven't went into effect yet?

  16. Posted

    I recently completed the Progen HU-100 mission that eventually leads to a bonus mission that rewards a player with a Crimson Force Barrier. After completing a very demanding mission, I failed to receive my CFB. You can check my hold (or possibly vault now) and see I completed the chain and received the Symbol of Loyalty medal from Var. This shield is not obtainable anywhere else and is one of the best for any Progen.

    I submitted a bug report 3 days ago, and never got any type of conformation e-mail that it was received. So yesterday I submitted another under 'General Gameplay Bugs' just to be safe, again I had no notices that the report was received. I saw a GM In-game and asked him if I should receive an e-mail about it, never did get a straight answer on that heh. He did tell me I had no tickets in the system. He mentioned its possible someone has my ticket, but if they did how come I have heard nothing in 3 days (4 days now) about it? I was online a lot during that time too, and never got a /tell over it, no e-mails (checked my spam folder too), and no PMs here about it.

    ....

    It is a stress test. Code can go wrong. However, this shouldn't give a cart blanche for staff to create items for players 'because the mission is not updating' or 'because it is not dropping'. If everyone gets past this mission or part of the game, who will be around to check it is working and if the code has been fixed? It is one of the reasons why we can't spawn mobs and give items out any more (or this was my understanding for at least 12 months!!).

    ...

    This is my only complaint. Currently missions don't work and by now most people know it. I would think its safe to assume the problem is being heavily worked on behind the scenes, and hopefully it is fixed soon as it really hinders new players. GMs need the ability to create items to fix problems that arise. If GM's hold events for fun rewards, people bitch at them. If they didn't, people would bitch about that. They can't post and say "ok Friday evening at 9pm EDT we will be holding an event for items/levels!" All that would do is switch the 'advantage' to the large guilds, which IMO seems to be the basis of some peoples moaning, my guild cant camp for this 24/7 so no one should have it.

    You don't get to keep your chars, the gear, the credits or anything else at this point so why worry about it.

    I see your point, I'm simply not agreeing with it. You say his map gives too much information and decreases community interaction. No doubt some people will see it that way and agree with ya. To me a item database does the same thing. It tells me which mob drops what item, and what sector the mob is in, what comps are needed to make the item and the stats of the item. All of that can decrease interaction and the whole 'explore and find out for yourself' aspect of the game as well.

    All it boils down to is, for lack of a better way to say it, you think one is evil and the other isn't.

    I think both are equal, and really not gonna hurt anything. Both of them will help a new player to EnB. And while many of us have played EnB before, there are some totally new players, and hopefully the EMU will get new players. Sadly that also means there will be the MMO-players that want something and want it now, both of these will be used by them.

    I agree disbanding the guild may be a little harsh. But dont sit there and try to say VonCorp is all innocent and never does this exact same thing. I've seen it myself in Cooper. Sitting on a nav, clearing adds and such does not mean you own the boss. VonCorp is all "KS'ing doesnt exsist, its game mechanics" until they are on the receiving end of it then its not fair. If you want to try and be the server bully, thats up to you. But be a man a live with the consequences, eventually you are gonna run into people that say "No, I'm not rolling over and taking it or bowing to you".

    Sorry, I've tried to remain polite with my posting until now. But I know personally that VonCorp does this same thing to people and you cannot cry foul when the favor is returned.

    EDIT: I'm going to refrain from posting about this anymore. Its not worth me getting marks on my forum account and I've said my peice on it.

    First I'd like to thank AF, if for nothing else than giving us a little insight to how things work that we don't get to see. And reguarding Vonbon, I don't know him and until yesterday had never spoken to him. If what AF says is true, and I see no reason he'd lie and risk his ability to help the game run more smoothly, then steps have to be taken for the better-ment of the community and the game. There will always be certains players that thrive on domination. Theres nothing wrong with having an amazing character in the game, the problem arises when someone uses that character's power to disrupt the community. I played some in ST2, very little in ST3, and have become pretty active in ST4. I've seen on more than one occassion someone from VonCorp threating another player with the 'wrath' of VonCorp if they didn't bow to them. That cannot be allowed to go unchecked. If it does, you'll be left with a handful of players playing on the server.

    In my opinion there are two outcomes to this issue: the first is the current one being discussed where a player has to be removed. The other is to do nothing about him or her, and lose other players because of them. I don't know about you, but if I just came to this EMU today and saw a player was abusing the game mechanics repeatedly and nothing was done I'd be less likely to join that game. when it comes down to it, once the EMU is more polished and closer to a LIVE status and word spreads, you'll gain players at an alarming rate. But those players will not stick around and put up with a 'corrupt' community, they have no reason to stay and try to "get their money" out of it.

    Just my 2 credits on it...
