    Maybe Q’s been messing with the foundry to force people to spend more time in his wonderland

    Considering the amount of painting of devils on the walls that happens here I'm surpriced we get any info what so ever. When "working on it can't give ETA at this point but soon" is taken as "they're doing this to insult us and there was no issue to begin with" you really shouldn't be surpriced Cryptic is reluctant to inform us about the progress.

    Sorry, but Lt. Tardigrade is seeing an imagination plaza and sizable step up from his cardboard box fort/ship of the imagination. He wants his shed back!

    Latest news from the devs - the foundry has been removed permanently and this whole scheme was concocted just to spite us (sarcasm)

    Start asking after December 6th, when Merc Retro is over.

    It was up when I was getting ready to log off. I took a spin in the editor. Checked the Player Journal, did not do any missions. Going to check for bugs tomorrow.

    I hope its still working when I get home, I've missed the foundry big time.

    ETA: And by (insert deity here) its working. I'm super happy.

    It looks like its still republishing though, I usually look at SSF, SRS, a couple of short series like the Viper duology, Purity, Photonomy and Omnitabula during republishes after we're alive again to see how far along it is and it looks like its about 1/3 to 1/2 way. As of this edit at 0200 MST SSF missions 1-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1 and 3-2 are up. Omnitabula 1 is up, as is all of the Routine/Unsung series, most of Photonomy, most of Purity, and about half of the AEI missions. SRS MRP is completely up so far as I know, but I only started playing those recently (within the past six months) so I'm not as familiar with all of them, Matt may have to c'reckt me if I am wrong about that.

    Duncan, you'd better get Lt. Tardigrade, Mr. Wumples, Master Chief Fred, and Cap'n Ji'Goro working on them cookies, you might want to drag Ross and Sontag along if they're not too busy. Perhaps Itrex and Bailey too.

    Sadly it is back but broken completely.

    On entering a system, the initial popup dialogue does not appear, in fact the words "Completed" fly across the screen. It is impossible to progress, even though the mission tracker tells you what you are supposed to do next you cannot.

    I have tried two missions now, they are both the same, the steps are:

    1. Enter mission
    2. Speak with contact
    3. Continue mission

    Number 2 is missing.

    I have checked both missions in the foundry preview and they work correctly.

    Well, that's bad...

    Yeah. 9 weeks of silence and then... Trolling. Its like "you wanted foundry? you got it! Its not working? so what... its back, right?" I really wanted to punch someone in the face after i tried foundry today. :angry:

    A total disrispect, an insult to our faces. But that is something that we should get use to.

    I just tried to run some of my own created content in-game, and what mattjohnsonva said above goes for my missions as well : On entering a system, the initial popup dialogue does not appear, and the words "Completed" fly across the screen. You cannot progress, even though the mission tracker tells you what you are supposed to do next.

    Sincere question to Cryptic : why did you bring the Foundry back online if it was still non-functional?...

    In the meantime, i'll just withdraw the totality of my content for the sake of avoiding negative feedback that would not be deserved. Oh wait ! It's true that with that ongoing "no reward" bug, none of my missions are visible in sector space anyway.

    Right?...

    But look at all the wonderful maps you can fly or walk through, lol. At first I thought it was just a problem with one of my low level toons, but after several toons and several missions I thought, 'Why did they bother putting it up?"

    Then may it stay down till it's fixed and working fine again. I'm tired of being given false hopes now.
