Did I miss the memo somewhere? I haven't seen any posts by devs stating they know Epic Arcs are broken. This is what happened to me today:
My Ticket:
I am now bugged an cannot progress in the Minmatar epic arc LVL4 mission. I recieved the mission from Nilf Abruskur to report to Hiva Shesha in Tanoo. When I arrived in Tanoo and tried to speak to Hiva she whouldn't respond. And my mission journal would not update showing mission complete. If I tried to talk to Nilf remotely he just said for me to see him in his home system. I logged off and back on and now see I have the mission reward deposited in my wallet. 7mill reward with time bonus. However there is no Epic Arc mission loaded into my journal and Hiva is telling me that she is busy and will not offer a mission. What happend?
GM Horse:
I'm afraid that we can offer you no resolution to this problem at this time, as epic arcs are sadly broken due to a technical problem. I apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to have this issue resolved as quickly as possible.

yeah, seems that happens with almost every new patch. Just don't forget about it and when they get it fixed, be sure to have GM reset the next mission (make available) in the arc

There was an issue with talk-to missions in the epic arcs. That issue was potentially fixed with today's patch, so it should be working again.
Edit for clarification: Potential fix through today's deployment. We're going to keep an eye on it.

I'm afraid this has not been fixed. I was send 8-9 jumps to speak with Nilf Abrusker. I get there and complete the previous mission just by speaking to him. I'm then told by Nilf, "Sorry, kid, nothing at the moment. Could you come back later?". So no, this has not been fixed.
Oh, and I love the term "potential fix". It's like CCP fiddles around with some stuff, not really knowing what they're doing, and just hoping something might work. Like hitting a broken engine with a sledgehammer and hoping it starts running again.

I'll test tonight, but I suspect it still takes a petition to resolve (so that we get the mission reset).

No, they are not fixed. I still cannot get the second mission of the arc I am on. I was able to turn in the first one and get the reward. But I cannot talk to the agent to get the second mission.

If I could get an ETA on a fix I would be very happy.
Or at least allow the GMs to push us over the bumps.

So I petitioned a GM to get the first mission from Nilf Abruskur reset so I can continue the epic arc. I make the 8 jumps to speak to him only to be told "Remember, Lexia Stone - extreme prejudice." over and over.
I have a look at this agent's info and to my surprise I'm told I need standings of 6.80 with RSS to get missions from this guy. I guess it doesn't matter that I have 9.60 with Brutor Tribe, 9.47 with Rep Fleet, and 9.45 with Rep Parliament.
I guess I have to go grind lvl 3 missions for RSS in order to finish this epic fail arc. Thanks CCP, I won't bother with these "epic" arcs next time, I'll just go grind missions for corps I don't care about instead.

Bumping for attention:
Last night I started the Guristas Epic Arc, received my first mission and flew the 28 jumps through low & null sec. Ok, no big deal, I'll hang out there until I finish the arc. The problem comes in at the second agent, Kori Latamaki, he will not give me the next step in the arc.
So, I petition, and get the canned response "yup, we know that they are broken, we are working on it..."  Now, if CCP knew that the arcs were broken they obviously would do something to tell the players...right??? I mean that's just common sense.
I started looking for any information about pirate arcs being broken, or epic arcs in general. What do I find???? Nothing, except for this thread back on the 3rd page of missions & complexes.  I see 2 things wrong with what is happening here; First, I should not of even been allowed to start the epic arc, (if the whole thing is broken then disable the starting agents...) Secondly, TELL YOUR CUSTOMERS! A sticky would of been nice. I flew 20+ jumps through hostile space all for nothing, and I don't even have an ETA of when this problem will be fixed. So I don't know if I should clone jump back, or abandon the arc all together.
Any update would be welcome.

Exactly this.
I spent ~40m (not a huge sum of ISK by any means, granted) on a ship and fitting to do the 'bring an interceptor' Guristas arc in, got to Venal, collected my 5M ISK from the guy who gave me the arc, and can't get any further. The GM I spoke to basically said "we're aware that they're broken."
No ETA, no indication of WHY they're broken, etc. All I'm after is some indication of whether we can expect a fix in the next 24 hours, or whether I should clone jump out of H-PA and come back later.
Surely, given that this is a "known issue", CCP should at least disable the initial (working) agents with a message that tells people to come back later?

Will I be able to run the arc if I have sufficient standings with all of Amarr Navy, Arch Angels and Dominations?

What part of the OP saying "Epic Arcs are broken" isnt clear?

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. |

The part where you realize that even though something is broken, it may still be usable under certain conditions.

If your standings with the Angels are that high, why are you doing in the epic arc? You want a Domination Target Painter that bad?

Anything wrong with just enjoying them for their content, rather than solely the rewards?

Uhh, yes? About an hour and a half of work gets you a free Domination TP (130mil or so) and a Cynabal BPC (250mil on the market, but I fly them myself).

Pretty much, yes. I've been poking every dev I can to get a response, but nothing yet.

Epic arcs remain bugged (my experience is with the Caldari mission). I've been told that they will remain broken (at least the standings problem that I apparently have) until the next patch. There is not expected date for the next patch.
That's just great...

I got the same response for the broken Amarr epic arc.

Tried Starting the Angel Sound Epic Arc tonight... Got the Initial Mission from the Amarr Navy Agent in Sendaya... flew out to Curse, but all the agent will say is they'll wait for my report, etc etc..
No mission in the Offered or Accepted section of my Journal, and The Epic Journal is still sitting at "Mistaken Identity"
A Notice about these Missions being Broken would have been nice... But I've come to expect no less than nothing from CCP over my 6 years of playing.

So, ALL OF THE EPIC ARCS ARE BROKEN*. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL CCP GUARANTEES A WORKING FIX HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED!
I guess somebody has to say it as apparently the devs in charge cannot be bothered.
I either smell incompetence or failure to communicate problems, increasing their negative impact, and I hate the stench of either.
*: That is, unless you have sufficient standing with each agent in the arc (not just the first one) so you can pass the standing checks.

YouÆre right; the absence of any official information is alarming. And I also find the apathy and lack of helpful information during my petition process (and in the forums) frustrating. It appears that ôall handsö are working on PI û and therefore epic arc missions have fallen through the cracks.
Jowen Datloran: are you suggesting that if your standings are sufficient, it is still possible to continue in the arc?

Would also like to know - if that's true then I can do the Gallente and Minmatar ones at least.

Yes, though I cannot immediately verify it, but due to my very high faction standing with the Amarr Empire I had no problems running the Amarr epic arc. For both the Gallente and Minmatar epic arc, my problems only started when I shifted to an agent belonging to a corporation which I did not have sufficient standing with.
I could try and test it with the Caldari epic arc as I have one character with enough faction standing to assess all agents and another which should only be able to assess the first. Though, I think I maybe have still a month left before I can do that arc again.

According to the patch notes, the epic arcs will be fixed in tomorrow's patch. I hope we don't have to start over from the beginning.
