Since the update, whenever I request a mission, most of the time it will be one of these so called epic missions. The thing is that they appear to be against other factions. (I'm having to kill Amarr/Caldari for a Brutor agent).
So now I'm declining mission after mission, sometimes having to wait 4 hours if I get two bad offers in a row.
Didn't think about those of us who like to have good standings with all 4 playable races, did you?

What part of EPIC STORY DRIVEN MISSIONS don't people seem to get?
These are missions that are providing background and lore to players. They are "epic" and as such may/will entail working for one faction and thus ticking off another (omg commitment is so terrible ).

Yes… appear to be. Have you made any effort figuring out whether they will actually hurt your precious standings or not? ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

You seem to have missed my point. Let me reiterate.
I don't care about lore. I want to run missions as well as keep my standing at a point where I don't have huge chunks of the galaxy cut off from me. Before the update this wasn't a problem but now I can't run missions without it seriously affecting my standing or declining dozens of them. If you like lore so much, whats wrong with having a special type of agent who gives out these epic missions, for people such as yourself who don't mind being chased around in empire space in a pod.
Epic missions are fine... but replacing old missions? That's not imo.

Wait Wait. You are saying you are requestiong missions from your regular agent and getting new "so called epic mission." If so you are wrong. Epic missions only come from the 4 epic agents (hehe), 5 if you count the level 1 SOE agent.
Most likely you are just getting a bad stream of luck in terms of missions (I too hate faction missions, along with drones, cause I never loot and thats how you get halfway decent income on those mission types).
Sorry that I confused your whine.

WTF are you talking about? I ran missions all day yesterday and nothing has changed. The EPIC missions are the multi-part, branching missions, only given out by a particular agent in a particular station. If you think you're getting epic missions from a normal agent (i.e. in his/her description in the station list, the word "epic" in not present), that's one helluva glitch.
Or we just got ganked by the troll hammer...

I'm not splitting hairs, I'm asking if you've actually looked into things, since other players have done the epic arcs and reported no standings loss. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Op, you don't get Epic Arc missions from regular agents. There is a total of 5 agents marked 'Epic Agent' in the whole EVE universe, of which 4 are in space and need high standings.

This thread sets a new standard for epic fail.

The OP is clearly confusing "epic missions" with anti-faction missions. I'm not excusing this intellectual sloth, just pointing it out.
