I think the FoW bug is just a symptom of a much larger problem.

Problems I've noticed with zone maps.
FoW is completely screwed up. I do not have a single character where this is working correctly, or even predictably. The only time I can be sure of what I'm going to get is if I only play a single character I will get the map I logged off with.... but only most of the time. Sometimes it still goes black.

Every time I zone into a map with my contact on it the contact is automatically deselected.

When I zone into a map where my mission the way point and compass indicator usually takes at lest 30 seconds to appear, sometimes a lot longer, sometimes it NEVER appears and I must open my mini-map, unselected the mission door and reselect it.

I be willing to be that this has something to do with the incarnate delay as well. Log into a mission of zone into a map and it can take some time for your incarnate abilities to be usable. I have even had it happen once that I had to re-zone because my incarnate powers never became usable.

My opinion, this is the buggiest piece of release I have ever seen and someone should get a boot up their ***.

Yes, just walk up to him. My guess is that they removed the auto add on the contact because not everyone will be able to do the arc. You must have the ability to use the invention system to actually complete it.

Blue side, Freak Olympics, level 24 to 29, 34 merits. and you can run through it fairly quick with the right character.

I know what you're thinking... but this is not another suggestion to add safeguard and mayhem missions to Ouroboros.

Has this ever been suggested?

What if, at level 50, instead of always getting Peregrine Island you got a random mission that was made for level 50. This would mean that they'd need to create 8 more of these missions with new enemies so level 50's are not fighting low level enemies, but the maps are already there and they'd just have to swap out the enemies and the level range. Don't know if that's possible or not really.

So you could get any zone, Atlas to Peregrine with different enemy groups.

This would not only give players the chance to get those missing badges but it would also make them a bit more interesting.

My opinion is that they should just remove this feature from zone maps. How much work is it to clear the maps in the Shadow Shard for example. Now, when they finally get this fixed I need to go back and do it all again.

Or right now I'm doing a mission where I have to defeat x of y in some tiny little neighborhood. I haven't got a clue where the neighborhood is because the map was cleared again and now I have to spend my time exploring the map till I find that stupid little neighborhood again. I'm seriously thinking of not playing till they get it fixed or remove it because I honestly find this one of the most fruxtrating bugs I've encountered.

My maps do not go dark when I zone, nor does it appear to be some limit of maps. All of my zone maps for all of my characters have gone dark. There also seems to be something to do with time, or with logging out for some time. If I log out and right back in, the parts I have cleared again on all maps stay cleared. If I log out for several hours when I return with that character all, no some, but all of that characters zone maps are dark again.

At first I thought it was just because it was a new issue or some new zone map...... but every single time I log out and back in all my zone maps for all my characters return to black, are covered with fog of war, or whatever you want to call it.

Edit: It seems it is not every time I log out an in, it appears to happen each time I exit the game and restart. I just happened to notice when I logged with my first character today and when I checked all the characters I played yesterday all of their zone maps were black.

If the last two server publishes are any indication of what to expect in the future, the servers won't really be up until 4 to 6 hours after they are supposed to be except for maybe intermittently.

Caleb will never de-spawn. Once you get the message that he has spawned he will be in Nerva until 1) Someone defeats him or 2) The server is reset. So, if you get the message and don't find him, you do not need to go back and kill more ghosts. If you kill ghosts all day and do not get the message it means he was already there in the first place.

When hunting Caleb after he spawns, set up a bind or macro to target the ghosts that are following him (assuming that no one has already take out all the ghosts) and don't try to target Caleb himself. He moves too quickly and has too much stealth for him to stay targeted unless you happen to be almost on top of him. So target a Spectral Daemon. You can follow them until you get close enough to Caleb to maintain a target and follow him instead.

Don't know if this causes a problem for anyone else, this is the first time I've ever tried this mission.

I did not get halfway through this map before my eyes started hurting with the onset of one helluva migraine headache. Very little as far as graphics bothers me in this game. This is one mission I personally will never do again.

Speaking of doing TFs solo. I was doing the Tera Volta trial the other night and with everyone having +1 Incarnate with all the other incarnate powers slotted with something I found the reactor to be extremely ridiculous. I mean it's usually boring as all heck, but when the first character to the mob basically takes them all out before anyone else can react at all, well, the standing around doing nothing time got multiplied by 8.

Anyway, I was thinking, while sitting bored in front of my computer, it would be really nice if incarnates could start any task force with any number of team mates, including solo, and that the difficulty settings of the leader would be effective for all task forces because I'd really like to try that at +1/*8 solo.... that is, without begging other players to help me start it and then drop the TF.

Nope.

Too time consuming. The rewards are not significantly improved (at least not that I've seen) for the time involved and this time will never be significantly improved due to the requirements of the trial and too many deaths with the unresistible 50% (or more) damage and other trick powers that we can do nothing to avoid.

I find this trial designed like some of the new missions lately, to see how many time you can be sent to the hosp, with very little other purpose but to give you the feeling of complete frustration and uselessness.

I did not feel this way about the other two trials, not even the first time I did them.

Once in a while, for a change of pace, or for an extra E-Merit for the day. But I'd personally rather do something else than yet another grindy trial for a change and I don't need E-Merits that badly.

Personally, I'd rather do a Doc Quarterfield. I don't get the chance very often.
