Endeavor: Solanae Dyson Sphere - Misleading Text

taehsongtaehsong Member Posts: 629 Arc User
edited October 2017 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Text reads Complete a Mission in the Solanae Dyson Sphere Arc.

Looking deeper, it states specifically which missions (Sphere of Influence, A Step Between stars, or Surface Tension) to run in the green text. Then yellow text saying run "Future Proof" arc.

Is anyone over there proofreading these, before releasing them to the public?

      You answered your own question.

      As for proofreading, no, they don't. The never have.

      I took Sphere of Influence; and it worked just fine, and completed the Endeavor reward for me.

      I completed Circles Within Circles, AND Supply Woes, but it did not complete the endeavour thing for me >< I guess I need to do the rest of the stupid arc until I get to A Step Between Stars...or replay Sphere of Influence, bleh.

      Running Future Proof: Sunrise didn't work either.

      This is on a KDF toon, if that makes any difference.
      It won't because they tell you which missions to complete. The "Future Proof" part is obviously a mistake since the rest is pointing to the Solanae arc, why would you even try a Future Proof episode?

      If it was a situation where the endeavor text kept switching between different arcs, I'd understand the confusion, but here it's only one mention of Future Proof as opposed to the rest being about Solanae.

      Step between the stars did it for me although the ship at the end barely ever did triple digit damage.

      Text is misleading though as I first tried it on an alt using the fluidic destruction mission and got nothing.

      What it should say is do a replayable dyson arc mission.

      Step Between Stars did it for me.
      Now a LTS and loving it.
      Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
      I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

      This is because once you have competed the Solanae arc. There are only those 3 repeatable episodes in the arc. This one had come up before. I did Step Between for completion, plus to get the 3rd solanae ev suit.

      I'm going to call that a typo. Since it should be "looking for the "Solanae" arc on the left."

      Of course with how they're starting to use Episodes to showcase new starship interiors and maps... they may be trying to get people to play Future Proof more than once.

      Nah, it was copy/paste. The only other time we've been directed to play an episode from a specific chain was Future Proof, and they obviously forgot to edit that part. They haven't rerun an Endeavor yet.
      This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

      For crying out loud JUST DO ONE OF THE THREE EPISODES THEY TELL YOU TO. Forget anything else. Editing in this game has been mediocre at best. You can bet they will have an Endeavor about doing some Episode in the 'Future Proof' Arc in the near future. They will need to implement skipping in that Arc though.

      And then do another when you find out the endeavour doesn't get completed when you do the first one.

      Didn't even have to turn it in for it to complete.

      Yep. My KDF toon needed to run through the missions anyway, so I started with Sphere of Influence, but it didn't complete the Endeavor. I continued on to A Step Between Stars, which did complete it.

      Obvious or not, it isn't the players' job to parse typos. Some of us still pay for the privilege of NOT being an informal QA department.

      Nobody is saying that players should have to deal with these problems.

      However, we are saying that common sense is a very powerful tool. If the endeavor tells you to play a Solanae Dyson Sphere mission, why would you even consider playing a Future Proof mission? Past that, why would you play a mission that isn't even listed in the list of viable missions?
