I've started Gurista epic arc. Completed first misison, but wasn't offered second mission. Petitioned GM who acknowledged there is a problem. He says he can't do anthing for me until epic missions are fixed.
Is anyone else having this trouble? Has anyone heard when a fix is going to be implemented?
''thanks for contacting Eve customer support and reporting this issue. We are aware of it and the matter of Epic arc missions not getting handled as they should is already investigated.
unfortunately there is nothing I can do for you in this situation apart from asking you to wait until we have come up with an fix for this issue. Until then please don't abort the mission so that you can continue the epic arc as soon as we got this issue solved. ''
Petition has since timed out with no advice on when missions are going to be fixed. Not so keen on hanging around a camped station in Venal waiting for CCP to sort it out.

They've been broken for over a month and are unlikely to be fixed soon.
The fact that the GMs are telling you to basically stop playing for the foreseeable future is pretty disappointing. The interviews they did with the GMs for the alliance tournament were pretty unfortunate, how they can be so busy slapping themselves on the back while they're closing petitions and leaving people stranded when these are known bugs with no resolution in sight is beyond me.
Simple answer, go do something else and hope they're fixed one day.

As of today, they are still broken. I'm also stuck with a clone and a ship in deep Gurista space and am slightly annoyed by it. Petitions so far have been no help (and yes, they've been nice and polite; much more polite than I am on the forums).
It would be very, very nice to get some sort of official word on the whole thing.

Too stubborn, at least in the short term.
What's it going to take to get these ****ers working again? I mean, this is no emoragequit moment as I've plenty to do, but dedicating 24 hours to a useless clone really does suck.
So what's it going to be, CCP? Fix them or abandon them?

I got the same reply from a GM when I started doing an epic arc for impetus, I went through this same mission about 10 times (and it was a tough mission) and when I submitted the petition the only response I got was that the GM's are aware of the whole thing, and are working on it, and that I shouldn't try doing it again until you can see it was fixed in the patch notes.

I hate to break it to you but the GMs do not fix the game, they are only customer service. Blaming them for something that is broken is silly.
However my friend completed the arc with no problems, I couldn't though. It appears that there is a standing requirement on all the agents in the arc now, and the "brokenness" is the fact you don't have enough standing with all the agents to get through the entire arc. I think this will be fixed in the next patch so that this new standing requirement is taken out, that's what I was told anyway. |

Obviously, but we can't interface with the people who fix the game directly and we kind of expect GMs to advocate for players on at least some level. The fact that basically the sum total of the feedback we've gotten on this is that it's a "known issue" is about as frustrating as getting no response at all.
Hell, if I were a content designer and players couldn't use my content I'd be annoyed too.

I thought part of the point of pirate arcs was to repair your standings with those factions. Requiring standings and then granting a major boost to the same at the end isn't just circular, it's pointless.
I guess I'm just not eager enough to grind Guristas missions for little to no compensation just so I can continue running more Guristas missions for awhile and then get a Worm and have the entire Caldari state even more ****ed at me than they already are -- or would be without the initial grind. Call me crazy....
(Oh, and yes, I'm doing what I can to keep this thread bumped. In case you were wondering.)

This appears to be the case. This is the problem I'm having. One person has enough rep to run for all agents for that faction but the other doesn't.

Caldari epic arc also broken. No help with petitions. Also, no insight as to when this will be fixed. I've been promised the fix will come with the next patch, but when I asked when -- there was no answer.
It seems to be a standings problem.
Never mind the fact that you may have spent a long time grinding on mindless missions to build your standings. Never mind the fact that you may have trained hacking (or some other mission-related skill) for a long time to be ready for the epic arc. Never mind the fact that the epic arcs are suppose to be a next step that you're ready for.
It's pathetic there is no information forthcoming. Notice that no GM has made any comments, recently, on the three related threads in this forum related to this problem. CCP is celebrating the recent tournament and the introduction of PI.
The game is broken, period.

Well, yeah. Every complex set of code is broken to a greater or lesser extent. Having one that also has to interface with human beings is an amazing pain in the ass I don't even want to think about.
But chances are they'll fix it sooner or later. I'm just annoyed that:
- They didn't let us know that they'd broken things somehow
- They won't admit to even trying to fix it other than "being aware" of the problem
- They keep talking about new content like it's a huge gift to players even though many of them (not including myself, btw) just want the old content to work
Basically, we know it's broken and can't do what we want to do. They know it's broken, acknowledge it, but more or less don't even admit to working on it in any serious way.
That is the complaint I have.
I have no expectation of it being easy or simply or whatnot, but -- well, I expect existing content to work at a relatively decent level before new content takes over labor allocation from fixing problems. And that includes things like epic arcs that CCP broke itself especially.

Well, we know there will be a minor patch come Tuesday (skill point pool, new ship). Here's to hoping they'll take the opportunity to fix the arcs as well.

The point being this isn't the first "next patch" this has been alluded to. As nice as it would be, there's no way I'm holding my breath on this one.

This isn't being fixed in tomorrow's patch. I just had it happen to me at the start of chapter 3 of Wildfire, and the GM who dealt with the petition said as much. A 'future' patch was as much detail as was given.

It's not in the patch notes so one has to assume it won't be fixed.
It's a shame to see them ignoring this broken feature for so long after they supposedly put a bunch of work into it and hyped it up when it came out.

Like I said before, if I were a content developer, I'd be ****ed. Yay for wasted work, etc.
I'm suddenly tempted to start a betting pool as to whether the existing arcs are fixed before new ones come out....

"Missions
òSome Epic Arc agents failed to offer the next mission in an arc when a player had insufficient standings. You now only need appropriate standings to begin an arc, per design."
YAY!

Ouch, perhaps I should have found this thread before starting the angels arc earlier today. I'm now a half dozen jumps into Great Wildlands on my way to Curse ... and wondering whether anything will be offered when I get to the next agent.
Oh well, maybe I will end-up having to leave a clone and ship in Curse for a while awaiting the 'fix' :-(

Or you could read the post directly above yours.
It appears they are fixing it.

Other than a single cryptic post from a pilot, I see no evidence that they are fixing it, or even discussing a fix.

No, actually. Intention and action are unfortunately different things.
However, I will confirm that at least the Guristas arc is in fine working order and that I have been duly podded out of it for being stupid and missioning drunk in null sec.
But to CCP, especially sinced I *****ed so much: thank you for fixing this. It has made EVE a more entertaining world.
