Resistance Clockwork

On one of my toons I have a bugged mission that has spawned Resistance Clockwork. Are these guys supposed to be popping up already, or do I have a one-in-a-million glitch?

Radio/paper mission carried over from an old patch? Happens somewhat commonly. No, they're not supposed to be showing up yet, they are part of the Praetorian content.

It can happen to missions (especially radio/newspaper missions) which were available to you while a new patch (especially new issues) is released. The bug has manifested as un-attackable civilians, level 54 storm elementals, and generically-named Longbow before as well.

The current version of the game contains some of the art assets for GR, which is why they're Resistance Clockwork, rather than anything noramlly found.

Yeah. This is a toon that I hadn't logged in with in about 4 months. He had an old newspaper mission.

It's filled with Resistance Clockwork.

I don't have the heart to finish it/complete it. So rarely has a bug given me something cool like this.

Hey, I've got a MM who still has the Valentines Day mission from... 2 or 3 years ago now

My lv50 Corruptor has a vday mission from the first time. I don't play him enough to worry about meeting the mission cap, especially now that it's seven simultaneous missions.

As much as I'd love to ask you to show me this, I have a feeling this is something the devs don't want rapidly spreading.

Well, it's not like we don't know already what they look like. Heck, they gave away the costume at HeroCon '09, and there's plenty of pics up on the GR site.

Unless maybe the Resistance ones look different...


Dec out.

There's that, and there's also the fact that we don't know what their powers are, etc.

Pics or it didn't happen!



Personally, I've had bugged missions introduce the Storm Elementals, Ghosts (not the Cimerora version), and at least one other group. I also remember hearing of Vanguard appearing in a bugged mission once before (before they were added officially). I'd be curious to see if it might be possible to fanangle some new factions to appear in the Mission Architect early...

MY favorite bugged mission was filled entirely with non-combat NPCs. Was totally unwinnable as a result since it was a "defeat the enemy boss" style mission and the boss was an NPC.

By the way, do you get badge credit for killing those resistance clocks?

Sadly the bug only works with paper missions or similar missions where the enemy faction is determined by the RNG. A Valentine's day mission full of Praetorian Clockwork would be funny. Maybe instead of Snaptooth we could get a Praet Clock AV or GM. (Although i'm not sure what one would look like. Maybe a techier version of Babbage?)

That happened to me on my level 30 Scrapper. Vanguard spawn at a minimum of level 35. Ouchies ensued.

I was referring to having a mission I keep around without completing, rather than a mission to have bugged.

CURSES! I meant the Croatoan Ghosts... they both start with C, so it's good enough!

Doubt it - no reason to have any badges tied to them in game yet since they are not in game officially, yet.

What's next, "cookie ghosts"?

Hey, if they made it in early, the badge might also.

Master of Lady Grey was in the game for a while before anyone found out it was there. Any number of badges might be enabled with no way to get credit for them.

I wonder what the devs do when something like this happens.

Do they laugh? Do they cry? Do they go and fire a hapless intern? Blame it on Nemesis?



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

As long as it's not some super-secret thing that no one was suppose to have an inkling about, I assume they just look at it as a sneak-preview that might even generate more interest.


Dec out.

It's either that or Anus Shades.
