Lady Grey TF souvenir

Has anyone received a souvenir for the Lady Grey TF? If so, could you please post a screen shot?

I successfully received the Apocalyptic badge, but did not receive a souvenir even though http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Lady...Force#Souvenir showed one is associated with the Task Force. Yes, a /petition was logged, but the GM replies seemed confused about there even being a souvenir available.



On a related note, are there souvenirs for any redside SF/trials?

Yes on the Lady Grey TF souvenir. It has a very uninspired (but easily recognizable name).



For task forces / strike forces / trials, see this page on ParagonWiki.com

Sorry it took so long for a reply but I'm generally not logged in to CoH (or even at my gaming computer) when I'm reading the forums.

I'm with the OP on this one. I don't have the Souvenir on some characters either. I checked about 4 characters last night. First I checked the Wiki to see what the name of it was, and it was just listed as "Name Pending", so then I just read through them one by one for anything Rikti related. Then I searched the Souvenir page for the name I found in the game, just to find out they were all from various arcs. I certainly don't have one called "Lady Grey TaskForce", despite having the badge for it. Just to make the souvenir list easier to look through, I checked one of my seldom-use characters as well. He has the badge for LGTF, but not the souvenir either.

Then I logged into a couple other newer toons, but they had the souvenir. I checked my main badge hunter that has MoLGTF, and his LGTF souvenir appears at the bottom of the list. I don't think the souvenirs shift around if you re-do a TF, so he was probably just awarded with the souvenir when he earned MoLGTF, despite having the adge when it was originally released. It seems odd to me. I guess they added it later on, and people who did the TF on release might not have it unless they redo it?

Thank you for the screenshot, Ironblade. That is very appreciated!

I wonder if that is the difference, Master-Blade, if the Lady Grey Taskforce souvenir only gets awarded on a MoLGTF and not a regular LGTF? I had only successfully completed a normal LGTF for the first time on this character when the Apocalyptic badge was awarded 7/13/2010, so it can't be that the TF was run too long ago to get the souvenir awarded.

When I hear more from the GMs, I'll update again.

Anyone else with experience earning and/or not earning this souvenir? Your stories would be very welcomed.

I think that much like Story Arcs, Souvenirs in TF/SF are only granted to the one whose mission is actually being run. May be the wrong impression though.

No, because my other character that has the souvenir never ran the MoLGTF. I was simply giving the possibility that the souvenir didn't exist at one point, and only people who have completed the TF after the date it was added/fixed would have it. I used MoLGTF as an example to give a timeframe of when he ran the TF and earned it.. meaning it awards at least since i17. That toon probably had not run the TF since it was released because I use other characters for it, but it's at the ottom of the list, so he didn't have the souvenir before.

If you just ran the TF as recently as this week and didn't get it, then maybe it did break again. I dunno.

TF/SFs treat EVERY member of the team as a mission-holder though. We certainly earn souvenirs without having to lead a team. This is how some of us unlock Katie or Hess TFs, by running a contact's arc through Ouro as a team.

I just confirmed by logging onto the Open Test Server that the same character does not have the souvenir, despite having the badge for running the TF back when it first came out.

Well, ParagonWiki says:

Quote:
The souvenir system has been in game since City of Heroes first came out, but it has always been one of the game's half unfinished sections. The images of each souvenir were never added and still have only the placeholder question mark image, and several bugs involving Task Force souvenirs lead to them being removed from the game as a whole, preventing anyone from receiving them.

As of Issue 11, many of the hero side Task Force souvenirs have been reinstated, while those TFs made during the missing period lacking in them.
Apparently, the souvenir system is wonky in a major way.

This is possibly what's going on, but I wouldn't be surprised if souvenirs went buggy again:

Unlike the badge, which is awarded once the final mission is completed, the souvenir is awarded once the final mission is turned into the TF contact.

If you quit the team after the badge drops but before the contact is called/talked to, you won't get the souvenir.

oops. I forgot to mention that. I always bring that up when I'm on a task force, just in case anyone cares about the souvenir.

Got tired of waiting for a GM to properly award it, so reran the Lady Grey Task Force and was properly awarded the souvenir this time.
