Original Dreck mish

Posted

I saved the original Dreck mish on my main just because of it's historical value. This was the version before they changed it to a timed mission. Now it's gone from my mission queue and I have a different mission in its place. Does anyone have an idea of how this happened? I'm guessing it has something to do with how they've altered some of the storylines.

You didn't change alignments, did you? If you go into a villain zone as a vigilante, any active hero missions are abandoned. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Yeah the same thing happened to my untimed Dreck. Oh well.

As far as why it happened I think you're right. IIRC I saw it mentioned during the beta that many of these old missions were finally going to get wiped away with the Praetorian updates.

It's just as well: so many things have changed since keeping those missions around was useful that I can't even imagine running it again anyway. It had probably been like a couple of years since I even gave it a spin. *shrugs*

[EDIT]
I lost my mission on a character before she switched alignments.
They wiped it away apparently as soon as GR went live.

Was it one of the story artcs that got the Praetoria revamp? Because I was in the middle of Maria's arc, and it automatically got replaced.

Not sure if you can rerun it via Ouro (if it's part of Maria or Tina's pre-I18 arcs, you can), but defeats the purpose of having that exact mission "bookmarked," so to speak.

I'm sure if this mission is still available via Ouro it'd be the newer timed version anyway.

Ah yes, forgot about that caveat.

I had an interesting variation of this problem happen to me. I was holding on "Explore third nemesis dimension" (Outdoor "steel canyon" map, Nemesis with 5 Rescues) to use for Farming Inf/Drops and when I logged into the char after I18 it changed to Untimed Drek.

It appears they found a way to replace missions already in the queue for GR. My Praetorian missions have all been changed to the new updated arcs, even though I was mid-arc.
They never meant for the un-timed mission to stick around--I mean, they changed it for a reason. Once the tech was implemented, the timer counted down until mission failed.

CoP hero side or villain side? And what's Master of COV?

Not me. I already had the book on Maria Jenkins or Tina on four different characters and they are definitely and firmly stuck with the old arc, old enemies, and old maps. I wish they'd switch them out but I've been fighting shadowhunter and seige this week who I'm told are both gone in the new arc.

My guess is I won't get the Dimensional Warder badge either because I'm defeating the "wrong" praetorian AV's.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I meant the masters of cov's.

Otello put together a great raid last night and we did it in like 10 mins. Teams were built well i guess.

Im looking for either H/or/V and the masters of badges

actually all of the SF/TF badges red except SM and cap

So to be clear you're saying you did not have the untimed Dreck mission before Going Rogue but now you do? That's pretty messed up right there - that would probably make you one of the only people left to have access to that mission.

I never doubted that the mission was probably still in the game regardless. The Devs apparently never really fully delete anything from the code even if they change an older version of something into something else. Case in point there were SGs out there who still had Items of Power in their bases for literally years after the Devs supposedly "removed" them from the game.
