I believe it was stated that they are still in internal testing and would be seen on SiSi soonÖ

In other words, they will be available for testing two days before it is deployed on TQ, just like every other interim patch we have ever seen.

You think missions were ever seriously tested on Sisi?
Maybe in FW, but running missions on Sisi seem one of the more pointless things to do.
To make mission testing possible the players should have the option of selecting them. something that is not currently possible.
With the epic arc it will became possible, but it will require to run a chain of 30-40 missions, possibly more than once (and the missions will be non repeatable for months, so you need several characters to do that) for a decent test. Doing that would kill any interest in me for the actual mission on the main server.

Parts of the level 4 epic arcs are on Sisi. We've been writing them in chapters, and when a chapter is ready, it is ported to Sisi. So you can try them out, but the complete arcs aren't available on Sisi just yet, just the first part of them.

If i recall correctly it was said that there will be 4 epic Arcs one for each empire so there should be no missions for different empires if it so... ------------------------------------------------- I am envoy from nowhere in nowhere.

Common problem seen in the second mission: - the starting reward is very low for a level 4, completion time the same, no LP reward and almost no chance of the rewards increasing in a timely fashion as the number of players doing the arc will be small when compared to people running a new mission.
The rewards are not finalized for these epic arcs just yet, so they are not representative of what the missions will actually dole out. Same with the standings.
Also, there are four empire arcs, one for each of the major empires. If you do not have good standings with one of them, I would recommend not doing that arc.

Sure, I was pointing out a problem that I feel it is not fit for a bug report as it isn't a bug per se.

Does it mean that it preferable to have really high faction standing like? I have problems with faction standings since i was running missions for 3 factions that i rivals amongst each other (Amarr, Minmatar and Angel), i have good standing for certain corps, but faction standings are low because of storyline missions. I'm satisfied with my standings, just wanted to clarify, that i should not run Epic Arcs then... Though as i think i can solve this problem by having good standing for all empire corps, but this is faraway future plans... ------------------------------------------------- I am envoy from nowhere in nowhere.

sooo . ..
went and saw the agent in dodixie and got instantly refered to a different agent 4 jumps away - anoying and pointless. i also got isk for it and all i did was speak to an agent to get a referal :/
took the Tolle Scar mission . . . . DRONES ! ! ! - almost noone likes drones anymore and although the mission was very straightforward this is gonna cause a major influx of minerals because of the popularity of epic arcs :/
started priority one mission . . . WTF the beacon is 47km from an empty deadspace and provides nothing but a time sink. theres gonna be complaints about that. one of the most mentioned mission complaints is pointless flights to gates .. especially in pockets that serve no purpose other than a time sink.
then another 34km to the gate but. .. WTF MINMATARS ! ! !
am i missing something or are gallente and minmatar allies ? im sure the story will develop but i cant help thinking that getting missions from gallente shouldnt involve killing friendlies :/
there was also no warning that the npc's would be minmatar. so if you decided that you didnt want to kill your OWN race then you are now stuck with a mission that you have accepted and now need to fail :/
nice tags from the loot though . . . i'll just find somewhere to sell them
if this was TQ and not SISI then i would end the arc here and not do it again.
next mission . . cant wait..

I didn't touched the Minmatar (honestly, even if they were cited I haven't even seen them in the overview) and the mission was completed without problem.
The Minmatar where white? I.e. non hostile?
Your briefing required you to kill hostile people, not everyone.
BTW, that can explain why I wasn't seeing the Minmatar ships, I usually don't have neutral NPC in overview.

i warped in and saw nothing. .
the gate was 34km so i went and followed the senators son's shuttle. about a minute and a fleet of minmatars all showed up and proceeded to shoot on sight, they werent white and auto agressed.
my briefing a=only said to escort the senators son and nothing about hostiles. i got there and had the message the place was destroyed but he had escaped through the back gate.
tbh i should have screenied the fleet when it arrived but mostly i was looking for bugs and stuff.

Just as i thought... Than it should be around 7.0 (needed for 4-20 agents)... Looks like i will not be able to try out those missions unless i'll have 7.0 standing to all factional corps (or corps that are needed for Epic Arc (if i find out all agents)), i doubt i'll have 7.0 factional standing ever (because it's hard to have 7.0 for example to Amarr without getting less then -2.0 to minmatars and getting less then -2.0 to any imperial faction is forbidden to me (that's my point, and even have some roleplay under it (trader that need normal relationship with all factions)) And if u consider that i don't want to spoil my standing with Angel Cartel too, then everything is even harder...
But no problem i'll try to have good standing with all that corps... ------------------------------------------------- I am envoy from nowhere in nowhere. Nobody and nothing have sent me. And though it is impossible I exist ¬ Trimutius |

Edited by: Mikal Drey on 11/08/2009 14:57:36 ive kinda started to "map" the mnissions and check for bugs etc and so far its been pretty solid. there are the usual mission anoyances and they might cause some negative feed back for sure :/
as a small warning the Gallente one ive been trying will take you into Caldari Space so those gallentes with low caldari will have trouble competeing the arc(s)

thats what sisi is for :) feel free to try it.
its the low road option then after the low road misisons (about 3 easy ones) take the octomet plantation misison. I feel that a standings warning should be added to the mission dialogue so that you can take one of the other 2 branches. i guarantee its gonna catch people out.
i'll prep the whammmbulance

Give me a character with -5.0 standing to any imperial faction and sure i'll try (as i said all my chars have higher then -2.0 standing to all imperial factions) But once i saw a char with negative standing to Amarrs in Amarr space... And he filled pretty fine (just there was amarrs warping to him all the time in attempt to kill him) ------------------------------------------------- I am envoy from nowhere in nowhere.

From what I read, you can move trough in a fast ship, but you can't tank a mission with the added damage of the NPC faction Navy.

Not exectly fast ship, u actually can kill faction Navy NPC, and depends on your tank and DPS if u can tank added damage or not... ------------------------------------------------- I am envoy from nowhere in nowhere. Nobody and nothing have sent me. And though it is impossible I exist ¬ Trimutius |
