New Tab Under Contacts


Grae Knight

 

Posted

I would like a new Tab in the Contacts window just for Signature Story Arc contacts.

The list would only show SSA contacts the account has purchased (all of them for VIP players) and for which the character's level qualifies them. Information about which SSA the contact represents and what sequential number they are story-wise would also be very helpful.

One of the irksome issues I've had with the SSA thus far is finding the contact name, location and level info when they are first introduced. I see this problem as only becoming worse as more and more SSA's are added to the list. A contact tab specific to the SSA would make things much easier.


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Would certainly make finding the "premium content" easier

Additionally, the Bug Report Thread for the Collection System is here, so please post any bugs in that thread! Thank you!

Collection System
This new system allows players to keep track of account-bound features like Astral and Empyrean costume pieces and Signature Story Arcs in addition to their badges. This feature can be accessed by clicking on the "Collect" link on the top of your navigation bar/compass. From here you can browse your badges or account specific unlocks and features. You will be able to tell which account items you've unlocked and which you have yet to unlock. Like badges, unlocked features will have an icon. Features that have yet to be unlocked will have a grayed out icon. Currently you can view the following from here:
  • Badges
  • Content Unlocks: (First Ward, Signature Story Arcs)
  • Incarnate Unlocks: (Astral Merit Account Unlocks and Empyream Merit Account Unlocks)

Unfortunatly, from what I read, it doesn't tell you where the contacts for SSAs are and what LVL they are. Just IF they're unlocked. I still feel OP isn't satisfied in that update.
Though, I might have just ready it wrong.

i agree with steelclaw, and no the update in 21.5 is not satisfactory because as twigman states it gives you NO information about the arc in any way

It should be listed in contacts [active] [inactive] [detective/broker] [tips] <[SSA]>
under that would be the seven contacts listed (grayed out if F2P and aren't purchased or stating they would need purchased) If you click on them they act like a normal contact, telling you the zone, and already being selected when arriving at the zone. I believe that's what steel is looking for.

Snow Globe quoted the wrong bit.

    • This contact allows you to start any of the Signature Story Arcs for which you have access by clicking on the Access button for this contact and following the selection menu.
    • Once on a Signature Story Arc, you will still need to travel to the appropriate zone for mission doors and turn-ins to the SSA contact.
  • Signature Story Arc Contacts now have a unique zone map marker icon and icon category. These markers can appear even if you are not currently on the SSA from that contact.

Apparently you might not have looked at the collection section.



It shows:
  • The SSA arcs the account has purchased.
  • The SSA information about what SSA a mission belongs to.
  • The SSA sequential number each is story-wise.
  • The SSA contact and location.
What it doesn't do:
  • Show SSA level range.
  • Show if you have completed it at least once.
  • Show if you have completed the arc for the special reward that week.

If you want that info, submit feedback in the I21 Beta Feedback Threads.

No, I just didn't quote all the patch notes regarding the Signature Story Arcs. What I quoted addressed most of Steelclaw's post. However you are right in that I didn't fully quote all the patch notes.

To address the rest of Steelclaw's wishlist:

Thanks for the info... I eagerly look forward to its addition in-game.

I will also need to work more dilligently on my search-fu before posting things in the suggestion forum.
