Hello,

I just found a bug in the game. I was working on the first mission of the Ghost Widow patron story arc, and found that it was impossible to complete the mission. I defeated all enemies (it was a defeat all mission), clicked on the glowie, but the mission stayed at "defeat all enemies" and would not complete. I tried a few variations such as changing my difficulty settings, and I logged out and tried the mission again the next day, but no luck. The GM eventually had to complete the mission for me. I was working with GM_Leivon, and he confirmed that the mission was bugged. Seems I have found a bug that potentially affects anyone trying to do this. It was repeatable even when I canceled the mission and started it again.

I have a question on this then. Do you guys still give out the "bug hunter" badge? Would this be considered eligable?

Thanks

Bodai

Two things:

One:They don't often give it out when the person who found the bug ask for it.

Two: It's only for potentially game-breaking bugs, so you wouldn't get it anyways.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Positron was quoted once upon a time as saying that someone asking for it will only make them less likely to bother assigning, it but they never said asking for/about it will disqualify you.

EDIT: Saw your "often"

Positron publicly stated that was a myth and that asking for it has no impact on getting it.

Yep. No way in hell does this qualify. If you found a way to make the mission crash the server or give infinite XP, THAT would qualify.

The thing is if you find a game breaking bug and report it without mentioning it, it is granted so rarely they most likely wouldn't even remember it existed to grant lol .

also this bug seems to be tied to the Arc itself, not any specific mission.

I just started running Ghost Widow's arc on my Dark / Cold corr, and completed the first couple of story arc missions successfully. I received a hang-up on the mission facing off against Numina, with all enemies cleared from the map, and the mission refusing to end.

basic bug is that missions are not completing when completion conditions are met. It seems to be something on the back end as there is no determinable repetitive cause in any single mission to cause the hang up.
