Romulan harassment

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
While i do like that i am not being reminded that the timeline is secure i do not like being harassed by Romulans either making outrageous demands that i go to their planet and solve local problems which i have already solved time and time again.

Ever since the last patch each login i get a message from one of the area missions for the new romulus adventure zone. accepting them then dropping them has no stopped them from popping up.

What is the deal? redundant code or some such?

    there's a setting in options somewhere to turn off these. I think it's called "Remote contact".

    Also, in most cases you can accept then leave it to sit in your mission journal indefinitely.

    Sounds like you have 'Autohail' on in the options and since the New Rom AZ missions are now added to the storyline, they're triggering it. Try turning off Autohail if it's on or going to Journal-Episodes-New Romulus and accepting and running the missions one last time and seeing if that fixes them.

    Hold up they added those to the actual storyline arcs?

    I have been getting warehouse which makes sense but what does Pathoros (or whatever it is called) crater have to do with the newest arc?

    The New Romulus missions, at the end, tie into the start of the Solanae arc, I guess they put them in jouranl so people who hadn't done the rep system weren't confused?

    I'm actually finding it kind of handy on my main - I had been grinding New Rom rep, but got sidetracked by the Iconian War and left the rep missions to moulder. Now I'm getting reminders to go run the ones I missed before.​​

    There are two different cave Missions. The 'Overgrown Caves' one in the Paehhoes Crater and the 'Power Source' one in the Hwael Ruins. The latter is the one that is the final mission needed to complete Tier 5 of the Romulan Reputation called 'Secrets of the Ancients'. The daily for New Romulus just does not have the D'Tan sequences.

    I noticed a slight bug in the 'Power Source' yesterday when I ran the Mission. After you enter the Cave you get the Exit Cave Button right away. You need to be careful when picking up loot or interacting with any artifact or such. That stupid Exit Caves button is at the top of any other interaction buttons and generally has focus. Don't just click through as you will bring up the confirmation dialog with your Science Officer about really being sure about Exiting. A time waster when trying to prevent overloads in the final confrontation.

    This also happens in some of the newer episodes. Before you get a chance to pick up loot, you're transported to the next area of the map.

    It's even a problem in some queues like Khitomer ground. But at least you need to confirm beaming up there... some of the other examples don't even have that anymore so one time pressing the F key too often can be quite costly and annoying in such cases indeed.

    Yeah, I'm not really sure what's up with these.

    The auto hails were bugging me (I want them on for legit stuff) and I really didn't want to do these missions again, but I finally just bit the bullet and went and did the missions. Once I did them, the hails stopped and Romulan Command seems to understand now that I'm done running around New Romulus like a 1st year Cadet.

    For some reason, this started after the last update, the game just wants you to redo 2 missions you have already done. Not sure why, but it's not like I had anything better to do, especially now that Red Alerts no longer seem to work.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    I ran all the New Romulus Missions twice over the weekend. 1080 Dilithium and 20 Marks per really built up reserves.

    I'm pretty sure that's what it was. The episode "Sphere of Influence" opens in the Iconian gateway cave and its story assumes that the player has already "discovered" that location by playing the "Power Source" mission - which wouldn't be the case if (like me with all of my toons) you either hadn't been grinding the NR rep, or hadn't reached Tier V on it yet. I ended up playing those two missions in reversed order, and I presume so did a lot of other players. Moving the NR rep missions to the main storyline fixes this problem.

    not quite. There are several things on New Romulus where you collect stuff and turn it in that will give data too. This is what stuff like [Resonating Rock] is for.

    I haven't been hailed on my toons that completed all of the missions, only on the ones that skipped the warehouse. (Haven't checked yet whether the others will pop up afterwards, I did them on all toons, since they come with the Rom rep. But I heard New Rom is a bit buggy, so I'll wait it out until that's resolved with the missions lingering on in my calendar).

    If anyone tells you something is merely "a bit buggy" it means there are barely noticeable minor glitches that might occasionally annoy you.

    I had that same bug with the "Exit Cave" button being stuck in the middle of my screen, and I had to be super careful not to hit it accidentally. I was still able to get it done, but still... Why do they keep breaking things in this game that used to work perfectly fine?

    Resonating Rocks, Radiation Reports, and Glowing Plants (I think that's what they are) are only good for Romulan Marks. You get the data items from Red Alerts on New Romulus, which aren't exactly super rare, but are pretty much impossible to complete without quite a few players participating. Especially that one where you have to lure baby Nanovs up the river. They move so slowly you'll be lucky to get one up there if you start too far downstream.

    I don't even bother with the one in the Atlai River with the baby nanovs. They're too slow for me to get much, if any of it done. If I want Rom marks I figure I can get them in quicker, more efficient ways.

    Probably because writing software tends to be full with unintended consequences which are hard to track down. You don't even have to touch something at all to "break" it. Change a flag on a mission, and suddenly a strange combination with other numbers will occur due to some oversight in line 271809 of the code, which will only happen under certain circumstances on another mission if you say didn't do the optionals on said mission.

    In all seriousness if these missions are part of a new story arc in the journal would it not make ALOT more sense and be neater to have them only appear in the order like every other arc instead of having 3 or 4 hails per log in IF you remove them from the mission journal.

    Cryptic could make these much neater and fluid after all we all want a polished Star trek game and it is the little things that make a difference.

    It seems to be some sort of bug, cause I'm pretty sure I did all these missions on my toons. I also noticed that sometimes, when I leave DS9 system, I'm prompted to do the missions Cold Call, Second Wave and another one from that area.

    I like that Cryptic moved the New Romulus into their own story arc. That means those missions all have 30 minute cooldowns instead of 20 hours.

    Last Sunday I pretty much ran around New Romulus all day long on all my captains. It was actually a nice change of pace from spending most of my time in space and combat was pretty minimal.

    Oddly... all of my captains on my primary account have already completed all the missions and maxed out the New Romulus rep, but only two of my captains were prompted to go to New Romulus.

    I think the Romulans like you. So stock up on Romulan Ale and lend a hand!
