You need to choose GW as your patron before you can do her patron arc. Go talk to Arbiter Rein, he's the guy standing just outside the main room in Grandville. He'll have you read some plaques below statues of the patrons and then he'll allow you to make your choice, which introduces you to a patron as a contact.

The first Patron arcs are lvl 40-50. You cannot be too high to start them.
"THIS" is wrong. I went to Arbiter rein. I read the plaques. I have GW as a contact. She will give me no missions. It may not be that I am too high, but something is not right. Justaris , thank you for your reply. Master-Blade, your condescension is not appreciated.
Justaris and any others... I have never had to put in a support request in 75 months of play. Any idea what a reasonable amount of time to wait is?
I think you read far too much into Master-Blade's reply.
Edit: Gah, hate hitting Post before I mean to.
Reasonable time to wait is usually a day or so, depending on the severity of the issue. "Stuck" requests get priority, of course.
Hmm, that worked for me on my hero.
Okay, well it may very well be a bug for support to sort out, but we can run through the obvious stuff:
- You are a full villain, meaning you have done a villain morality mission and you have a red Arachnos symbol by your character name when you log in. Based on your first post it seems like you have this covered, but just making sure.
- You are not currently maxed out on active missions or maxed out on arcs
- You are not currenlty on a TF, SF, Ouroboros arc or MA arc
If none of the above apply, I can only assume you've been the victim of some kind of glitch and I wish you a speedy resolution from the GMs.

If it's not working, then the only other things I can think of is you either have too many missions selected (allowed 7) or too many active Major story arcs (allowed 5). Unfortunately, if those happen to be from Heroside contacts, you'll have to become a full Hero again to complete those arcs and free up room to start another one.
I'm only trying to help. Honest.
check if you have any open RWZ arcs. They make it impossible to get new arcs. Annoying but true.

He should not consider himself "bugged" since that files his request as a low priority action.
I filed a stuck ticket when we were on a Synapse TF the other evening. GM Sven was in touch with us in under 10 minutes and had things resolved under a minute later and my team was on it's way. It would have taken longer to reset the mission and clear it ourselves which was our only alternative.
Our GM's are really good most of the time.
PS- if you already filed a ticket but feel you put it in the "wrong" category by mistake, don't file a new one. Multiples for the same issue just slows down response times for everyone. Head to the Support website, get yourself set up there and edit your open ticket accordingly.

one known issue with patron arc stuff was that you can not have ANY active mishs before starting the patron arc
if you have ANY active mishs the patron regardless of who it was would be telling you that you need to "clear your plate" before getting mishs from them even if you only had 1 active mish
i had this issue come up at least twice when moving hero toons to villains

lol j.k
WB man.
If you're not actually Stuck, please do not use that tactic... "Stuck" generally means you have no other venue. You can still play other missions and such, after all.
I think it falls under 'General Help', but do as you will.
I appreciate all the advice. I currently have no missions at all, RWZ or otherwise, so that is not it. I am awaiting a reply from support.

What we meant was also check your contact list for any that display a Storybook, indicating that there is an active Arc. Icons with the Blue bookmark are Major Arcs. You are limited to how many you can have, which can prevent you from starting another one.

To the OP: Like someone else suggested, I had a toon that had to wait a day for whatever reason. Hope time fixes things for you; if not, I'd definitely file a "Stuck" report, lots of alignment delays and mishaps still in the system.

haven't gotten my hero all the way over to villain status yet but would like to clarify this to make sure I don't run into a similar problem. are you saying that we need to complete all story arcs on the hero side, not just have your mission list cleared? just to make things easier to track, I cleared my mission list and went to running just tip missions but I probably have a few story arcs that are partially done.|

Well you don't "have to", but you do need to make sure you have less than 5 Major Story Arcs open when you switch if you want to be able to start a new one on the other side. They are the ones marked with the blue bookmark. There does not seem to be a limit on Minor Arcs, the green ones, so don't focus on cleaning those up. Just look at the blue ones. |

Again, you shouldn't need to clear them all, just make sure you have less than 5... unless you want to really be on the safe side and clear them completely. lol

I don't make use of Stuck all the time, and I don't use it as a catch-all. However, when there's something I want to focus on, and it's not working, then heck yeah I'll file a stuck request.

OK, so I have a lvl 50 tank, did the 11 missions to get to be a vigilante, did 11 more to get to be a full blown villain. I did this because I am interested in getting some powers from the patron pools. The arbiter sent me to GW but GW won't give me the mission. I am apparently too high. The mission, as far as I can tell, is not available as a flashback. I did the GW arc exemped down when they were someone else's missions. No luck, still can't get the arc. So, how the hell can I get the damn patron pool?
