Show Last Objective not working...

Mission Updates
Contacts in starting zones (Atlas Park, Galaxy City, Mercy Isle) should, in general, no longer send players into dangerous neighborhoods to reach low-level (1-5) missions. Travel times will often be shorter to reach these mission doors, as well.

Players can now have 7 active missions, instead of just 3.
Show Last Objective: This allows players to be able to find their last objective on a mission map, making it easier to find something they missed.
Contacts give out their cell phone number sooner.
In the mission window and when talking to a contact with whom one has a standing mission, there is now an option to abandon that mission. This does not complete the mission. This is not available during "Task Force mode."

I have yet to see this in action. Thinking it was a triggered power, I checked my tray. Nothing. Someone told me it's automatic on the map...so I cleared a map except for the last objective (which I was having trouble finding) and still nothing.

I went to every floor on the mission.

I eventually found the last objective on my own, no thanks to this invisible feature.

I was told it works on task forces, but nothing in hte patch notes says it is ONLY for TFs.

Am I doing something wrong here? Or is this feature not fully implemented yet? (if not, why put it in the patch notes at all???)

Iv'e seen it working all the time except in a kill all which is what I wanted it for. In clickey's it gives a big white splash if you cleared everything else and in kill some guy missions it will show you the last group left in the final room.

I've only seen it work when I'm on teams. It shows up as red arrows. It's only ever been the last few enemies, not glowies so I don't know if it's different for them.

But it hasn't worked for me solo, only on teams, and then only a few times. I don't know if it's working as intended, or still needs a few bugs shaken out.

I solo paper's red side and get it all the time. For glowies it has to be the last thing left to do to complete the mission.

There's several hundred missions in this game, some with multiple objectives which can be done in any order. So, not every mission and permutation has been tested. If 'light up last objective' doesn't happen for you in a particular mission, bug it so it can be fixed.

It seems to be working for me as well. The last baddie or baddies show up, and the 'objects/glowies' appear also.

I have seen it work. I have seen it not work. I have also seen some things show up on the map that don't appear to be intentional or as designed.

I especially like the mysterious "???" objectives that appear and then vanish at different points.

When I got the mysterious "???" it seemed like it was a lone enemys postion from when I entered the map, he was in the next room - something which I guess have to do with the "enemies walking around all over the map" since the last issue. Other from that it works sometimes and sometimes not for me.

My theory is this:

Show Last Objective makes all missions into Defeat All Plus, i.e. you have to defeat all foes, PLUS do whatever the actual objectives are. When you get down to the last mob, or last few foes from the last mob, then the Last Objective will show.

That means that, unfortunatly, this feature doesn't bring anything to the table when attempting to Stealth a mission.

Note that I said this is a theory. I've had it for about 2 weeks now, but I haven't had the time to test it out yet.
