Since y'know, there be explore badges in them..

Are the safeguard/mayhem missions available in Oroboros? If so, where, and if not, why not?

No.

Because the system used with the brokers didn't work with the flashback system.

And to answer your next question, yes they want to add them. No, they haven't said if or when it will happen.

Nope.

Has been requested in the Suggestions forum though. The suggestion to make them available for folks that miss them/skip them while leveling had mostly favorable response, with only one or two dissenters in the thread that I took part in. Counter argument was: "Because some things should be difficult to get to or require planning."

And, for your next question after that, you can get them by tagging along with someone in the correct level range. You can be level 50 and still get all the Safeguard exploration badges. You just can't get the missions yourself.

And to answer your next question. No, only on Tuesday unless there's a full moon.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Methods to obtain outleveled Safeguard/Mayhem missions may include any of the following, or even combinations thereof:
Friends, preferably with alts
Broadcasting in a level-appropriate (to the mission) zone.
Asking on a Global channel.
Waving around a big sackfull of Inf.
A second account with level-appropriate alts.

I wonder how this would work in ouroboros? If you could just cue up a bank mish I'd think no one would even use the paper/scanner anymore, just go to o. If it was task/strike force like...well that would be one disjointed mission arc...

I lean more towards leaving it the way it is. Somethings are just going to seem forced and unnatural...this imo is one of them.

I think that's one of the things they're trying to figure out (or to put it another way, the road block in the way), mentioned by Roderick as...

I don't know that people would stop doing the radios per se, though. A lot of people simply like those because they don't make you leave the zone, and they don't care about the story arcs (or just find them long and tedious). A lot of those players, in fact, skip the Safeguards. I think a significant drop-off probably would occur, though, so they'd probably have to include the radios, and that's where the code garbling starts.


Dec out.

Remember.. thats STILL how you get contacts!

Hm.. Yah, I can see the difficulty w/ the contacts. And yes.. Safeguard isn't as much fun as mayhem.
