Maintenance and the resultant animalistic rage.

You can probably contact support for this, but I have no idea how much they can do about that.
Sorry to hear about that, though.

I'm over it now. It was more annoying at the time because I was within about two minutes thirty seconds of getting the damned thing done. I'll just have to redo it in Ouroboros and do it right.
I'm more annoyed by that damned Steven Sheridan arc I've got that I can't actually finish and takes up three scrolldowns of room in my clues tab.
Oh that stinks but now I'm curious... Why can't you finish the Steven Sheridan arc?

All I can think of is that he has three missions open, but I'm pretty sure that was brought up in the thread.
@Roderick
It can be a bit annoying if you get hit with one of the auto-missions and simply cannot stay logged in (due to maintenance times or real-life issues), but it's not the end of the world.
Assuming you beat the outdoors Kronos Titan (for the badge), then the final timed mission in the arc isn't going to make any real difference. You'll still have "successfully" completed the arc once the servers come back up, you'll just have failed that one single mission in the arc.

Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
It's just a nuisance to have lost the mission after working damned hard and getting incredibly close to finishing it. In retrospect, I'd've liked being able to drop the mission for the complete, but that wasn't an option. It's just the brilliantly evil timing of the boot.
Ulrich the Immortal: "And you, Kronos Titan, the supposed savior of the Malta Group, are now its sole survivor. And, along with them, you've given me yourself. Calmly, coolly, entirely without incident."
Dev Team: "No."
Global Chat: "ATTENTION: In five minutes our servers will be shut off for routine maintenance. Please note: while we reserve this two-hour period for maintenance updates, they will not necessarily require the entire two hours. Additional updates may be scheduled outside this time-period as needed. We may also perform maintenance on additional related servers, such as the web servers, message boards, or login servers."
Dev Team: "Not without incident."
Popup: "YOU HAVE BEEN KICKED FROM THE SERVER"
...so Devs=Malta?
That would explain why Marketing is Sapping everyone's fun...they hate us y'know.

If you have not turned the mission in, I believe they can reset it, or set it to a successful complete vs. a failure. Might need a t2 support though.

Both Steven Sheridan and Gordon Stacy have been bugged, IIRC, since i11. One of them was fixed couple issues ago though. They would give 1st mission of the arc, but after successfully completing that mission they would refuse to give next mission.

So I've been doing the Crimson arcs, which are fantastic, and in the last hour worked my way through the World Wide Red arc, enjoying it so much I even built an impromptu team to take out the GM Kronos Titan. I beat the second last mission and took out Director 17, and get an autostart timed defeat all with an Elite Boss. Not a problem, says I, since I've beaten more faster and Elite Bosses have never been a problem for me.
Suddenly, Scheduled Maintenance. Half an hour.
That made things a bit more urgent. Still, Tankers perform best under pressure. I clear out all of the stationary mobs on the map, but too slow, because while I was doing that the ten and five minute warnings came up. I press on regardless, determined to finish it by any means neccesary, only to get punted a few seconds into stabbing the absolute crap out of the big robot's foot.
This is irritating, mostly because I've never managed to get myself into this situation before and have no idea what will happen. Either it will time out during maintenance, and I'm already failed, or it'll start again after maintenance, in which case I'm going to fail anyway, just later. Is there anything I can do about it? I assume the answer is "no and it's your own damned fault."
