I'm not sure that I understand your post?
Both of them have sent me to Lorenz Ansaldo in Sharkshead, as I recall (but my memory has been a bit faulty lately). Have you been sent to someone else?
Just trying to understand, not flame....

i think what is being said is that when you're teamed and both of you take your cape mission, which happens to be from both 1st contacts, they should count as being the same and have the little box come up for the person whose mission didn't get run.
do i have that right?

Both Kalinda and Burke send you to talk to Lorenz but Lorenz doesn't actually give you a mission. It's kind of set up as a two part mission.
I think that's what to OP was getting at.

Ah, I see now. I didn't remember that part. I thought Lorenz had been the mission-giver.
Thanks.

Yes, this is correct. Basically you can't auto-complete if the cape (or aura) missions are from separate contacts.
It would also be nice since we could pull away from Burke's nonsensical "I hate Arachnos, but you have to follow their rules juuuust thiiiis once." malarkey.

Indeed. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
Lorenz is just the 1st part of a 3-part mission from the original contact and it is that original contact you return to when it is all over. Not Lorenz.
My wife originally took Kalinda and I took Burke. When we got to level 20 we both got the cape mission but when we finished getting her cape I still had the longbow mission active. It didn't co-op the missions because mine were from Burke and hers were from Kalinda.
If those two would actually give you Lorenz as a contact instead of as a mission then you could co-op Lorenz's cape mission. I realize that when you are awarded the cape and some of the dialog would have to be changed but I think it would be worth it.
I'm not doing a very good job of explaining it. But on the hero side we sometimes get together a big group and do the cape or aura missions together with the costume missions and fun is had by all. After my experience on the villain side I realize this isn't really a viable SG activity... that really turns it into something you solo and I think that's sad.
The alternative would be to create an Arbiter someplace that actually hands out those missions instead of your initial contact.
Lorenz is already a contact though.
I would prefer they add a contact similar to blueside's City Rep. Place him or her in the Arachnos building in Port Oakes (where Base rent is paid) and move the Respec Contact in Port Oakes to the same location.
And we don't need to be able to call him/her either. Going to him/her the same way heroes go to the City Rep would be a good thing. More reasons for high levels to come back to the old stomping grounds is needed on the redside, IMO.
That was my alternate... create an arbiter someplace. I was thinking on the drive home yesterday that the Port Oakes admin building would be a good place for him. I also think it's a great idea to move the respec arbiter out of the rain of zombies and rikti to join him.
There isn't any reason they couldn't have the longbow mission in PO since they are supposedly after evidence on the Family which are big in Oakes. Nor is there any reason you couldn't take the sub to Paragon.
Good add-on Blackavaar!
You're welcome.
Currently you go to your 1st contact and that's fine. But it would be really nice if the person they send you to (who is the same for both Kalinda and Burke) was the one actually giving you the missions.
That way people could team up and co-op the cape mission like they can hero-side without having to run it twice - once for each original contact.
I assume the aura mission has the same problem although I haven't gotten to that point yet.
