LIES! JD has no chance! hahaha btw welcome back Asch. And, for the record it isn't shield sap that will do in the JE or JD. Grav link will prevent you from coalking, so ya got one shot and can't get away! Poor JD's in live did a great job of blasting off your shields but when ya hit the 225% HDC and the 84k hull and couldn't recloak.... buuuuh bye Now, them damned PS and their menace..... I'll find another thread to grumble about that.

Hell yes! thanks for the information. Can never have to little communication between those that make it happen and us lemmings!

Do you not read what is written or do you just ignore what the Progen Content developer says? We are, by god, in a test! not alpha not even beta but a test. There is no "end game" here! As more and more itmes become available from mob drops, the rewards will be adjusted and changed to reflect other updates. The length and complexity of the current lvl100 BONUS mission is much more challenging than it was previously. The items that are required atually take some effort and some work to obtain. Also, the reward is for those that choose to build. Why shouldn't there be exotic or unique items available through a long, challenging mission line specifically desgned to reward those that have chosed to be active builders for their race? If you are not a buiilder, then you don't get the print. Consequently, you don't have any reaon to be doing the mission. You are, at this point, a consumer and relying on others anyways for your items and thus need no unique or rare print when you can just purchase the item from a qualified builder.

You're so evil! Love it!

I'd rather have a ballista to compliment spitter. beside spitter is in game, lets get something new in...

it would be possible and relatively easy to add the brimstone ballista as a reward. It existed in ST3 and I would assume the code for it is still around.

Oh mister progen almighty, I currently have the salvage the pax version 4.3. There was some chatter about changing the mission reward to be something other than a bile PL print (which I already have). Is this accurate or am I just outta luck in the way of a reward now for completing this mission? If so, i don't honetly care, but the mission reward should be akin to the CFB. Ultra rare and certainly not a relatively easy drop to obtain.

OK, and holy crap I can not believe I am going to be the voice of reason here! But, I do have a couple of things to add to this diatribe that seems to be going on. First, can we all just agree that Von is a pri@# and it seems that all of static needs to just grow up a tad and be just a wee less sensitive? See how easy it is. Just repeat it and get over it. Secondly, Kyp or any other dev's that are following along, I have a question. Is it possible that Whighlighter simply did the most damage of any of those that were present, so thus was awarded the kill? Or does the code actually recognize group dps as a single entity? Just another thought here as well, if the mechanics of shield sap "are being looked at", why not take a complete look at shield sap and see that it actually works before making changes to it. Group sap features have never functioned. A portion of the sapped shield is suppose to be xferred to the group members, but it isn't. So, please, before taking a wide swing with the nerf bat, and further alienating players, take a look at the full operation of the skill before changes are made.

I was told by someone that will remain nameless, that indeed it is a conspiracy! The Jen Pie and the tree huggers are in collusion against all things progen. As a result, there are significant issues that they have managed to sink their slimy paws into. Some of them are the actual codes of game play. Some how, they have manipulated entire progen skills, weapons, and equipment. It was a Jen Pie that purposely designed the bug in combat trance! Why can't it be fixed? Cause the Pie's have prevented it! Why do progen weapons go inactive when tab targetting? Them damned Terrans! I tell ya, when I heard it was a combined effort to just irritate and annoy progens by making their skill animations stick, I about threw up! How dare they do that to us! As a matter of fact, the only functioning progen items that will be seen, are those that the terrans use! Why, is what I ask! Why?!? I hereby demand that the developers keep the smelly, slimy, dirty hands of those two lower races out of my progen purity or there will be hell to pay!!! Edit: Beware or I'll let Growlz loose on you all!

oh mighty one has this been updated? Is it still giving the bile pl as a reward?

Esier, as I stated, you don't have to fight your way back to endraigo after each kill the mission now updates by just nearing the Pax Decima. Trust me it saves a LOT of travel time.

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 Ballista would be just groovy!

And you wonder why the rewards system has changed?

Just got home myself, and found miss megan "unable to validate my longin information". /crickets seems to be the normal response whenever there is an issue and yet people wonder why people get frustrated and fed up? It would seem rather simple to give an acknowledgment of the issue and assurances that it will be resolved in a timely manner. But, ya know, what do I know. I've only been a sales manager for 20 years. I guess its not about communication or even acknowledgment of others concerns. Flame on if ya want, but it is frustrating and getting old. We seem to have nearly instant action if someone on the staff gets their feathers ruffled or is insulted in some way, but there is little or nothing in the way of information being given to those that are playing and/or supporting the project in other ways. Honestly, just takes a little effort and the masses will be much more satisfied and feel like we are contributing. We are here playing at the invitation of the dev's of this project. We're not trespassing. And, frankly, sometimes it seems like we're viewed as the latter not the former.

Stop being so defensive... sheesh. I can tell you that when the servers went down last night, it wasn't planned. It was a crash, anything beyond that is speculation and or assumption on your part. Anything copied from another thread is by that very definition being taken out of the context of the original thread. To apply it's perceived meaning to any other topic is again by definition taking it out of context. Now supposition and innuendo may be sufficient for you, but you don't need to share it with everyone.

No, actually about 9 hrs. And, this is a crash. Not that there may not be some sort of updating taking place or planning on taking place, but the system just crashed last night. If it were scheduled, someone in game would have given us the "log out to save properly" warnings. It didn't happen, I know, I was on. Also, stop feeding the rumor mills about what may or may not be happening. Because, I can assure you that is a direct violation of the new rules that will be enforced. (See I can do it too!) Idle speculation and assumptions will make you not just look bad, but not many friends either. And, while this is indeed a stress test and we are playing only because of those on the development team and their hard work, communicating via these boards should be much more a priority than it is. It has always been a challenge to get reliable information as to status of the server when it crashes. That has been about my only major peeve of this project. I would hope that the new intent of the GM's would also be part of solving this as well.

There is a bonus mission for completing the lvl 50 HU mission. There is a bonus mission for completing the lvl 100 HU mission. If you choose to purchase the HU's you will NOT be eligible for the bonus missions. As a FYI, the bonus missions DO NOT automatically appear in your mission log. You have to instigate the missions for them to show.

The CFB is available from the "Bonus Mission" given out after you have completed the lvl 100 HU mission. If you pay for the HU you are not able to acquire the bonus mission. A 100% CFB is the reward for the successful completion of the mission. That is significantly less time consuming than it was before (no more having to go back to Arx Spartoi after each step). However, you will not be able to complete the bonus mission until you have sufficeint shelds and weaponry to handle the increasing difficulty of the mobs. I would reccomend lvl 8 shields and lvl 8 weapons and friends otherwise you will need to have lvl 9 equipment. If you pay for a HU it will preclude you from acquiring any subsequent missions attached to the mission line. It will not prevent you from acquiring future HU missions. If you choose to pay for the lvl 50, you can still acquire the lvl 100 as an example. Only one that is truely miserable is the lvl 30. After that you have an idea of what to expect from progen missions and they are noticbaly less painful.

Free Worlds League Military (FWLM) House Marik MPBT 3025 another of EA victims. There is still a semi active yahoo group, House Marik, still kicking things around. Even after all these years. Actually was that that brought us to EnB originally. FWLM guild on Orion was my original guild. Still have friends from the Mech days of MW3 lan games of the mid 90's! Born a tank, Atlas was my ride. An oddity planned or not, the graphic for the longbow is the same as the gauss cannons or at least I think it is . Good times driving a mech, dropping planet side and swarming a well defended base against real players in real time. PVP at its best! /Salute Mech Warriors!

there are two spots around the hook line and sinker navs. The "outpost" is just north of moon/rock and the mining facility is east of sinker. the Chavez camp to the west of the map is of no importance in this mision. There has been some difficulty mentioned in progen chat the last few days of the mobs not spawning properly or in a timely manner. I can't speak to this because I've not been there to check it out myself (no need ). But if you are unsure of your location or next step, you can always ask in progen chat. It is usually a very helpful place. I don't even have new players chat enabled on my pw, hate the distraction of that drama, so asking there will get mixed results more often than not.

1. YES 2. YES 3. XP for the mission and opens bonus mission 4. There are 3 locations for Chavez in Od Rex. Are you at the right one? 5. Lots of ideas but according to my exwives not one of them worth a @#!&

Sturmmer doesn't add anything to the mission log. He tells you where to go next. Again, it will be very important to read and make any notes you don't think your memory will retain when doing progen missions. The Progen Developer is quite demanding on us but his rewards are quite nice too. And, for the record, Strummer instructs you to go to DCO and speak with the warden.

Guilds are like wives! Sometimes you gotta go through a couple before ya find the right one

You're on the right track where you are now. After obtaining all three cortex (do this first and save yourself some headache)the cortex and delivering them to Strumer in Traders Fort, He makes you do a bit of running around in TF, but its not that big of a deal. He, then sends you back to DCO. Once there, the Warden talks to you and sends you back to Ionna-J. She then sends you to Tarsis (arx Tiberius) I believe. None of these travels appears in your mission log, but the NPC text is what is telling you all this. This is where I get just a bit fuzzy but I believe the guy that gave you the Embargo Mission will also tell you to go back to Ionna, he is sending his men out to do something in Lagarto. Ionna then gives you the mission to kill the Merus Militia. The first leg, and it shows in your mission log is to kill 8 fighters, then 8 Bombers, then kill the Captain. These mobs are just north of DCO and tend to swarm a bit, don't forget to register at DCO or you'll have a long haul back. Just a note, after you kill the Captain, you'll have to get his "gene map" from the Warden at DCO. The item is vendorable and does appear in your hold. So, make sure you have room. Also, he sends you back to Ionna and again there is nothing in the mission log telling you this. Have fun and learn to watch the NPC text it will save you a tremendous amount of headache on further HU missions. EDIT: PS: You can not purchase your way around the lvl 30 HU mission. It must be completed. Subsequent HU misions can be purchased around, but in doing so you will not recieve any rewards from those missions. Some of them are quite substantial.
