Well, finished the 60 iterations of stage XIII today, and ... no reward, no rank advancement, no new stage. The counter did go from 1 to 10, 6 times, but I thought that was just a bug in the counter. Very, very disappointing. Here is the graph of the Melee Combat reward by iteration for stage XIII:
Thx for info, i lost only 1 round of 10 days and 4 days of new counter after reset, guess i will stop now for a while.
Ok, after the first 60 iterations of the Oratan Payback stage XIII mission, 20 hours later, the mission was again available. The counter has now reset to Day 1 of 60 (not 10 like the first 6 times). This begs the question: Does stage XIII really require 120 iterations?
Not sure if this has any use since after the fix no one else will have the opportunity to do more than 60 iterations, but I gathered the data so might as will share it: The reward started at 3.92 points of Melee Combat, peaked at 4.53, then steadily declined to 2.1 at iteration 82.
Here is the chart for the Anatomy reward for stage XIV of the Oratan payback mission: Reward started with a peak at 2.05 and declined to 1.08 at iteration 60. Stage XIV gave rank of Brigadier. Stage XV: Kill 100 Oratan Menace, Rogue, Villain, Fiend, or Enforcer. Repeat every 20 hour for 60 days. Stage XV reward is 1 Agility token and about 4.25 of Combat Reflexes.
It's hard to believe how quickly time has gone by. I arrived on Arkadia in late September and began my IFN dailies. I just completed day 26 of 45 in as a Staff Sergeant! My biggest complaint so far: have we been trained by Star Wars Stormtroopers in marksmanship? I mean really, the mob is less than 2 feet from me and evades me 3 times in a row?!?! And this is a regular occurrence. How incompetent are we when a lvl20/19 BLP rifle prof misses a lvl4 mob that often?
I find the base I've been assigned to, kind'a repulsive. I don't like the staff, I don't like the personel..., and I definitely don't like the food. Can we please get a mission chain to 'request base transfer'? Especially at the repulsive base, they kind'a shit in their own beds. Get me out of there!
As a proud member of the Repulsives, I sort of agree - there should be a mission chain to remove artsey fartsey, politically correct, latte sipping, loud mouths from ones base. They just lower the tone of the place. Personally I think an early morning plasma burst to the back of their heads & then dump the corpse for the Carabrooks to eat. As for the other thing - Repulse Firebase is in the middle of a desert sort of in the middle of the continent. The nights are cold and dry. How else is one to stay warm & moisturised through those long bitter nights?
Mission or not we at Resolute firebase will shoot you as soon we see you. We don't accept strangers from other bases. We do the pimps,drug dealers,illegal casinos, insurance and predatory lending money for this territory and we do not accept concurrence. But we could let you buy your residence for small gifts like LA's,Arkoins and AUD's -all that with allot of free beer for all ofc.
I would love it if we could "transfer" to another base. While there is nothing wrong with being assigned to Relentless FB, I wish to be assigned to Indomitable FB. I served with the 10th Mountain Division and Indomitable FB reminds me so much of it!
I am the very model of a modern major general ... of the IFN on Arkadia. Here is the chart for the Combat Reflexes reward for stage XV of the Oratan payback mission: Reward started with a peak at 4.3 and declined to 2.21 at iteration 60. Stage XV total reward for 60 iterations was 204.87 of Combat Reflexes and 240 Agility tokens. Stage XV completion gave rank of Major General. Stage XVI: Kill 100 Oratan Miner Young, Mature, Old, Provider or Guardian. Repeat every 20 hour for 60 days. Stage XVI daily reward is 3 Stamina tokens and about 3.7 of Diagnosis. The cost to enter the Smugglers secret camp for stage XVI is 900 arkoins.
