Talk:Cooperative Mission

Platinum reward?
I just made the mission Divinity Coast and after completing the bonus, our party got 3 platin.

Is that new?

 * It's not new. Completing the Divinity Coast bonus has always rewarded the party with some gold/plats. It's mentioned in the mission article if you read it. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 06:59, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

Rewards for foreigners
I've added the note that you can't get XP and skillpoints by completing a mission with a non-Canthan native before Kaineng Center. You can tell this is a screen of the dialogue after the Zen Daijun mission because The Afflicted Kana is mentioned in it. http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/Nolani_Blaze/Guild%20Wars/zendaijun.jpg

Now, I don't know for sure, but I think you can't get skillpoint and XP as a reward for any mission if you're from another campaign. This is a screen from the dialogue after the Unwakening Waters (Kurzick) Mission. http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/Nolani_Blaze/Guild%20Wars/unwakeningwaters.jpg It may very well be that I didn't get a reward because I already completed it on the Luxon side before, but I have no missions in Cantha left for a foreign character. Could anyone check this with a mission before or after Unwakening Waters and after the arrival in Kaineng Center?

 * You cannot gain rewards for any mission before Lion's Arch or Kaineng Center if you're a foreign character. --220.233.103.77 06:20, 20 February 2007 (CST)

Images of cooperative mission places
Since in Prophecies and Nightfall the coop mission towns are given distinctive emblems, perhaps it would be a good idea to list these emblems. (Don't know if this holds for Factions) Just my two cents on this one.
 * 1) In Prophecies, a mission that hasn't been done yet has a shield and is blinking. When the primary objective is done, the emblem stops blinking, a sword is 'stuck into the shield' on the left side. If the Bonus objective is done, the Sword on the right side is displayed.
 * 2) In Nightfall, a mission that hasn't been done yet has a compass-like icon and is blinking. The Standard reward gives one sword, Expert is two swords, and with Master it also displays a vertical spear in the emblem.

Btw, the Tyrian title track now also displays a message about there being a Hard Mode. I've already changed that part on the page. Disconnected 16:59, 6 February 2007 (GMT+1)

Timed mission rewards
I know it's a REALLY minor thing, and I didn't know where else to put it, but I just finished Vizunah Square with a time of exactly 25 minutes, and still got the master's reward. I'm assuming this applies to all timed missions, don't know why it wouldn't. Currently all the mission entries show things like "Masters:  <25 minutes." Think they should be changed to show that it's anything up to and including 25 minutes (or whatever the respective mission's limit is)?

90%
I did about 90% of sactum cay mission and i left the game. next time i login it says i have completed the mission??? Is that a new update

Tyrian Cartographer
I don't quite understand the "8" missions required for the cartographer title. Mission areas aren't explorable in Prophecies, so how do you expect to complete it without doing all the missions? Borlis Pass and The Frost Gate, for example, are big chunks of map that can only be explored during the mission. --Heelz 01:10, 2 June 2007 (CDT)


 * The point is that you don't have to complete all the missions: it's possible (although perhaps not reasonable) that you could go into a mission for the express purpose of exploring that mission's area, then map out before actually finishing all the objectives. That would be easy enough to do in Riverside Province, for example: explore all the way to the far end of the area, come back and explore inside the temple, then quit before running away with the Scepter.  In fact, there are a couple missions where taking the time to explore will probably make you fail the mission, like The Great Northern Wall or Elona Reach.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 12:25, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

Mission timer while disconnected
I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I've never actaully gotten a stop watch out. If I'm the only human player in a timed mission and I get disconnected from the server, is the timer stopped until I reconnect? BigAstro 19:58, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Since the instance will continue on as if you were simply afk (AI mobs fighting your AI henchmen/heroes), I would assume that the mission timer continues counting as well. It would certainly do so if there were another human player who hadn't disconnected, so I see no reason they would take the time to code an exception for a single player.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 20:16, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * That's what I would think too, but I wouldn't be completely surprised if Anet made an exception for the case I mentioned. BigAstro 20:23, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Istan rewards for foreigners?
For the Istani missions (Chahbek Village, Jokanur Diggings, and Blacktide Den), I remember getting a dialog about "reliving events". However, the article says that you still get rewards from these. Is this true? I'd check, but having already done these, I wouldn't get the reward in order to verify. 141.233.30.23 22:14, 6 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Should be...I've done it on all my "Foreign" characters, over many weeks, so unless there was some recent update that broke it it is still true. It used to be like that for the Shing Jea missions too, but that got changed at some time that I can't pin down. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:17, 6 September 2007 (CDT)


 * I believe it was shortly after the release of Factions - initially, Canthan characters couldn't do Prophecies missions before Lion's Arch at all, and Tyrian characters couldn't do the missions on Shing Jea, due to Anet's silly insistence on "timeline continuity" or something like that. 90% of the community complained, so Anet opened the missions to foreign characters, but prevented them from being able to get the rewards (for fear of people farming them for easy skill points or some other stupid reason).
