So, these will be like Achievements, correct? If so, that's great. Thing is, some of the missions can't be replayed, and I don't want to get the achievement system and then find out that I can't complete some of them. Can a dev or anyone else let us know if that will be a problem? It's one of the reasons I've been holding off on starting a new toon. Thanks.
They might be retroactive...they might not be. Either way, you should still get any accolades tied to the missions since the Episode Replay function will be introduced shortly as well.
Most accolades have been in the game for a while now and will be retroactive when we turn them on - we're in the process of testing the whole system now.
And someone was correct in posting that the Episode Replay system will allow you to go to your mission journal and re-grant yourself any previous episode as a secondary mission so that you can do it by yourself again (instead of someone having to share it with you as a secondary).
AND... once the squad level tech is in ... you'll have the option to auto-adjust your damage/hp numbers so that replaying lower level mission is a challenge...
AND.... if you add in the difficulty settings... you'll be able to rerun previous epidosed on Elite and get pwned like you never did before... and get accolades at the same time

at least thats the way I hope it all works
It sounds great and what Gozer said in an interview, these features all go hand-in-hand. Sounds like some great stuff.

Will accolodes only be unlockable during the first completion of a mission, or can you unlock them anytime while repeating an episode.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but ... just a little fair warning ... when that does go live ... many many people are going to complain.
Because they'll swear up and down that they absolutely know they've killed more borg than what the system will say they've killed.
Just like they swear they have crafted way more than the system says they've crafted.

Sweet. I can't wait to see all of the above go live. I wouldn't mind redoing some of the missions on INSANE-MODE!
Any news on some of the accolade rewards? Titles? Pets? Costume unlocks? I'm hoping there's some incredible unlocks from doing insane things.

I know for a fact that certain accolades like the SS Azura accolade for saving crewmen was active in beta (I got it in one build) so things like that SHOULD register when accolades are visible. Now will they decide to artificially extend gameplay hours by not counting things like that which we know they were already counting in order to make people waste time replaying things just to get them?

Keep up the good work!

Can we redo the tutorial?
It's great borg bait
Probably.
