Can't activate all flashback missions in Oroborus

I've been away for a while but have recently renewed my love of CoH. There's been so much stuff added, though, that I wanted to take my old character through the Pillar of Ice and Flame to do flashback missions of the new stuff.

However, I'm finding a few of the missions don't activate when I click on the accept mission dialog. Fer instance, trying to run the first new quest chain, Reason to Fight, won't do anything if I click the "what do you know?" cue. The next one, What Was Lost, however, takes me right to the task force settings screen like it should.

Is there something keeping my character from accessing some of these missions?

You need to do the new low-level arcs in order. If you look at your chat window, somewhere should be a message explaining why it's not working (which is bad design IMO, but that's where it is). What was Lost is actually the first arc, belonging to Matthew Habashy, and that's the one you'll need to start with. From there you can do either No More Fears or Lay Down Your Burdens, then you can do Reason To Fight.

First Ward and Night Ward are like this too, which is kind of annoying because arcs 4 and 5 in NW have badges but the first 3 arcs don't.


"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

As an example, here's what it says when you try to run the Villain side "Price of Friendship" story arc without having run the previous two arcs

"You and everyone on your team must not have Lt.Harris's story arc as an active arc, must have completed Dr. Weber or Fire Wire's arc, and be over level 7 to begin his flashback."

Unfortunately, it gives you the name of the contacts, which aren't shown when you access the crystal.
