Flashbacks and Contacts

Okay, quick question, posed as a situation.

4 people get the same story arc, from 2 different contacts. A and B from 1, and C and D from 2. They run through the first mission, A's, and while B gets an offer to auto complete, C and D don't, from how I understand and have experienced the system.

A, B, C and D later go to Flashback Story Arc x. Do they all get offered the same contact, thus being able to auto complete their missions and enable all of them to get the story arc reward at the end, or do they get split between contacts?

I'd just like to present this case as another example of things that are just plain wrong and silly in heroside.

Don't know the answer, sadly.

[/ QUOTE ]Flashbacks work like task forces. Therefore, they'll all use the same contact, and share the missions.

Thought that was the case MaXimillion, just wanted to make sure. /plots

And Col, yes it is silly. That's why I'm a firm believer in the redesign of contacts heroside to prevent the repeated missions, the duplicate arcs over contacts and so forth, and prevent getting hitched with old story arcs that you have no way of dropping.

This is pretty much my biggest wish for blueside now - the old origin-based contact system in the CoH city zones needs a total revamp to bring the missions/arcs, and more importantly the way they're delivered, up to CoV/Striga/Croatoa/Faultline/RWZ standards.
