Geko and I were both surprised to find out that the powers system already DID this

Anyone else bothered by that phrase?

Quite, actually. They're kind of in charge, so they really should know what's going on in the code...

The second and fourth Shadowshard taskforces are at least interesting enough to do again. The AVs at the end are more than worth it. My SG runs Faathim regularly as an influence source for our contests, and it's still fun everytime.

The third Shadowshard taskforce is, well, boring as [censored], but we don't complain because it can easily be completed in less than four hours.

Then we come to the first Shadowshard taskforce, the twelve hour hell that is Quarterfield. It's the same missions over and over again, guys. Rescue hostages in caves, how many times? Four? Clean out bases. The last four missions are practically identical! Rularuu see through stealth. Nemesis snipers see through stealth. And it's not so easy as starting and then dropping four people either, because that hardly ever works out.

So award the badge for Quarterfield retroactively, or change it so we actually WANT to do it again. This seems to be the biggest complaint here. The other taskforces are not a big deal, but Quarterfield needs a good kick up the side of the head.

Come on, guys, give us something to work with here.

I'll pop in here so you guys have a new target.

The original Task Force Datamine took 3 months to finish. That was to go over 2 months worth of data.

We now have 18 months worth of data. We looked for a more effecient solution, but our estimates still come out at 2 years to datamine and get you your badges.

If CuppaJo had specifics like that to be given out with the first announcement, a lot of angst would be avoided.

My sentiments exactly. Thank you Positron for clearing this up for us. Now, why wasn't CuppaJoe told this in the first place?
Obviously the development team already had this information. We should have been told at the beginning that there would be no datamining for the new taskforce badges.

I agree with many of the things that have been mentioned here. For example, I have the Soul Orb souvenir from the Moonfire taskforce which was awarded to me during the period of time before the 'No TF Souvenirs, Period' policy went into effect. Should I not be able to petition for my badge? I have sufficient proof that I have finished that taskforce.

Also, just this past Saturday, I completed the Quarterfield taskforce. I can give you the date, time, character, server, and the names of everyone who finished with me. Should I not be able to petition for my badge with this timestamp?

If not, then fine, but tell me why not.

Cuppa, we understand that you can only tell us what they tell you, but can we at least get some clarification and a reason WHY the taskforce badges will not be datamined?

I just need one key. Numpad0 for me = silly attack phrase = "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"

I have one folder on my hdd with 70+.txt files.
1.txt would be...
numpad0 "local Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!$$ taunt1$$ bind_load_file c:\binds\2.txt"

2.txt would be...
numpad0 "local I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick [censored], and im all out of bubblegum!$$ taunt1$$ bind_load_file c:\binds\3.txt"

Each leads to the next and the last leads to 1.txt.
It's that simple. One key. One million random sayings.

(pardon the bad syntax in the commands. Sneaking a post at work ) And you only need to type bind_load_file c:\binds\1.txt once. Even if you log out, it will stay in memory. The correct bind file loaded and all.

My bind files actually have more junk in them, like newspaper headlines, but you get the idea for just the phrases.

Cheers.

I don't suppose anyone has an easy to follow step by step process for setting something like this up? I'm having a really hard time deciphering this to make it work.

Long live necro-post-mancy!

Moiread blushed and giggled. "You want to know what my favorite color is? Well, I like green, you see, because it looks very nice with my red-gold hair and my skin tone, but I also like a light blue because it matches my eyes...Oh, and burgundy. I really like burgundy, I have a very nice set of burgundy lace up boots...Um...And black, I like black too..." This continues for several minutes as she recollects the color of every single garment she's ever worn...
