Group Unlock Contacts

Hi:

I have now participated in several threads to unlock Hess and Katie, and despite that I did every single mission; I did not get credit towards unlocking the contact since it was not my own thread.

It is possible if all are lowbies, to get the same mission thread, and thus as you do them we all get credit as we go. But if we have higher levels, then this can not be done; nor going the Oro way would solve this problem either.

I was wondering, in the Portal Jockey accolade, we are supposed to defeat a bunch of Praetorian Villains, it does not matter if it was our mission or not, we get credit for the villain defeat. So perhaps the missions towards unlockable contacts could be flagged in a manner similar to the Portal Jockey accolade. So when we have all the flags say towards Hess, we get credit for it, despite that the thread we accomplished may have not been our own.

Yes it can, especially for Hess and Katie, which both start from a contact that needs no introduction.

Interesting, maybe I am mistaking but both of these contacts are not level specific? So a level 50 can go visit them at Crotoa and Striga, and get the thread? If so this is great news!

Hmm, no I think you would need to do them through Ouro if you are a level 50.

The problem I am trying to address, I want the entire group of 8 of us to get credit for unlocking the contact to start Tfs such as Ernesto Hess and Katie Hannon, not just the thread owner. Oro would in effect cheat the other 7 from the credit, despite they "did" all the work and frankly deserve such credit!

Not true. Doing the arc in Ouroboros effectively turns it into a task force, and everybody gets the souveniers (and the next contact unlocked) by completing them.

I've run the contact that introduces you to Katie through Ouroboros. I wasn't the team leader, and that's the only time I ran said arc. I can now start a Katie Hannon TF any time I want.

Also, when you run the Arc normally you can all talk to the contact (provided you are in the correct level range) and run the missions as Co-Op. Everyone who has the mission gets the credit. This only works if you all start the arc at the same time, or run the person/people behind's Missions till they catch up.

Wow, this is awesome good news!

Chad, this is great, so as long as the lowest member in the group can get to Oro and qualify to get into the menu range, we are good to go!
