Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. We completed a complex in an escalation and got this message: "XXX just received an updated mission objective in relationship to this particular location." -- but in the journal of XX theres nothing. Any way workarounds or should we pack it up and write it off as a bug?
thanks in advance, Trebor Notlimah LSEG CEO

Edited by: tailboom3 on 28/01/2009 21:05:33 Short answer yes. many times. petitioned a couple times, but the gm's just say the escalation has dead ended.
They really should be more explicit about the end. like leave a notification in the journal stating it.
I suspect this is truly a bug and they are just offering a cop out answer so they don't have to fix it.

I agree with the "Its a bug and we don't want to fix it because our big expansion is coming soon and we are on a deadline"

What big expansion? Revelations? It's not exactly a new bug.

When I get that message every time I've read it carefully it says something like "you saw some ships warp off but this can be considered 'it'". What was confusing me is the title of the box has the escalation name, so it's natural to assume you've received the next bookmark.

What usually happens is that it says "<Character that got final blow> got an update" etc, and then it gives some blabber that isnt definite in its saying that it is the end of the escalation path.
Meanwhile the character that it refers to doesnt get a popup window at all.
So yes, it looks like an escalation - but it isnt and the bug is really that it says a certain character gets an update while he doesnt. This happens in a lot of the Provincial HQ escalation paths and I think the Fleet points too.
This bug should be fixed in the next patch... |

Thank you all for the responses. I'm quite disappointed in this bug since we went through two hostile true 0.0 regions following the escalation, and it bugs out before the payout. I guess like everything else in 0.0 -- more risk than reward
So its either a bugges escalation -- it escalated but noone got the BM
Or it didn't escalate but we got an escalation message anyways...

Can you remember the name of the complex/site? (even just the site it escalated from)

Everyone on grid will get the full message "xxx speaks" plus the text. The thing is that we get so many popups on our computer that really no one can be bothered to read the message.
If you did, you would have noticed the message explains that it's a dead end !
Happens for about 25% of my escalations, most times after the 2nd escalation. |

If its Military Complex, then its the A-Type path... The serp one is really buggy on the first escalation site. When you go through the gate into the abandoned area only take one ship, then AB around approaching all the objects.
But pretty much, most of the serp paths are really buggy.
(Also : not all of the ships on the grid get the esc message - as I said earlier, in specific it happens in Serpentis Secrets)

Wow... considering how buggy this all sounds it is amazing to me that CCP is busy adding even more stuff. Jeez... fix this stuff and make it clear what is going on instead of spamming new stuff to do...

They claim to have fixed most of it in the next patch, however for example last night I was running an X-Type path... you know the ones which are actually pretty cool. At the first site, I warp in and it skips the first room due to a bug, so I miss a faction spawn and land right at the end where it escalates - not bad, saved me 5 min and the chance of a nice drop.
Go to the 2nd site, everything works well, escalates 17 jumps away. I'm now 3 regions from where I started, 33 jumps. I warp in, the site hasnt been entered before - as I land I start orbiting the beacon and the site despawns.
So yeah, throw away an afternoon of work, 33 jumps into hostile space, rewards etc... and instead chew on a nice fat bug :/ |
