It's well known this Task Force is not that exciting. However, there are some moments of beautiful artwork in it that make that kind of a shame.

I was looking through my screenshots folder this morning and found this image, and after seeing this really hope some tweaks to the Shadow Shard come about:

[EDIT: Added second screen capture.]








Thanks again to the group that decided to do an insane 4 AM run of this TF by the way. All three grueling hours of it.

Anyone else have shots of this TF (or the other Shadow Shard ones?) I really think it's one of the best looking, content aside.

Game must have heard me talking smack. Just got done with the Justin Augustine TF. I was playing a Rogue and happened to be in villain Ouroborus when the TF completed. Result: no merits, no badge, no "this TF is over" pop up. Sent in a petition, but tourists be warned!

Schoolboy error I'm afraid. When you free Faathim in the final mission, the TF "ends" and everyone is awarded its badge.

But that is NOT the real end.

You need to exit the mission, then re-enter the "death star" from the opposite door. Someone on the team talks to Faathim, he offers you the final version of his poem and THEN the TF is truly over. THEN the reward window pops up, people get merits, and the clock stops.

I've been in a Justine TF where a couple of people almost quit the team before I had a chance to make the final trip to Faathim. The TF has always worked like this. People just need to look at the mission window above their map, it says "Speak With Faathim the Kind" after the "last" mission.

Weird that you didn't get the badge. Did you not enter the mission, or enter it far later than other players?
