Yes, this was broken this last week. It's been funky for quite some time in that it would claim it could "fail", thus forcing failure text, even though it couldn't.|

Well that was the theory, and it worked last week. Now it doesn't. Did the last patch break something? I played a few published arcs that had this mechanic: blinky is greyed out until you take the escort to it, then you can click. Am I setting it up wrong?

But this last patch just flat broke the ability to add it, calling it a recursive dependency when it's not. I can't fix a few typos in the last arc I made before the patch because of this, the 'published' one is perfectly functional, but I can't re-publish because of the false error.
Not exactly, I think it's broken since the end of May. In fact, I put the sequence (escort to blinky starting at beginning of mission -> blinky starting at end of escort) in one of my published mission just after I17 release and it worked correctly, now it's 2 weeks (or maybe more) that it gives me the circular dependency error (and this really piss me off 'cause I need to add some changes to that arc and, thanks to this bug, I can't).

"The Natural Earth" (Part 1, ID 69759), "The Homecoming" (Part 2, ID 125110), "The Cult of Kren'Goras" (Part 3, ID 435191), "The Mind Thieves" (Part 4, ID 522497)
Each arc can be played separately
I was positively surprised though that I can have a glowie that I still have to touch after leading the guy to it rather than it finishing immediately when he reaches it, for story reason.
The feature is worth wait a week or two of waiting imo. But it's been quite long now... : /
