I don't understand something: When I go to Ouroboros, there seems to be a mission that is not playable:
I mean, why list it, if it can't be played? It's like a tease, you know? Anybody know the answer to this? Why ISN'T is played? Why is it listed if it can't be played? Or is there a special way to access it & I just do not know???

Do you have the contact unlocked? I have no problems accessing that arc through Ouroboros with the villains I tested.

As Katze said, Archmage Tarixus is an unlockable contact. You need to get the Lorekeeper history badge in order to get missions from him.

Lorekeeper badge - http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lorekeeper_Badge

It's rather amusing, that both are needed for the Demonic accolade, but one can gotten only if you get the other first. (Yes, I am aware you can get it while teamed with others, but, in a storyline context, you need to get Lorekeeper first.)


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Last I remember, arcs/badge missions from unlockable contacts didn't show up in Ouro at all until you unlocked them.

This is correct. You'll need to get the required badge first. Also you will likely need to meet the contact once post-badge.

I am sorry. I thought I wrote it somewhere, but I was not sure, as I did not see it in my subscriptions.

Umm.. that's not his name. That's how Tells work. They show the name of the person you are talking to for both To and From messages. The "-->" is what signifies it is To that person, rather than From.

Nothing unusual going on.


Back on topic, is the affected character a Praetorian? I've noticed issues using Ouro with some unlockable contacts. For example, my Praetorian character cannot do any of Doc Buzzsaw's arcs in Ouro, despite having the pre-requisite badge, and despite having run the arc "for real" when I was in the level range. Then again, this may simply have something to do with the required Inf badge being different for Praetorians, and might not apply to other unlockable contacts.

No, she was a former hero turned villain. But you are all right, once I got the lorekeeper badge, it DID work & I was able to do that guy's mishs.

Good to hear! Of course that would mean there's a bug with the contact appearing on the list before being unlocked.
