So I'm not even on this part of the mission chain and guess what popped up on my battle tab today?

Litheor Deepspike XIV
539
Standard / Common 100% Stable

Is this going to be a permanent issue until I complete earlier parts of this mission chain and then finish this part? I NPC all the time and that's extremely annoying if that's the case.

That's the experience I had when the Mylarai/Octafari chain got archived. I had to complete a couple early missions and still had the Leviathans from one of the last missions spawning.

Did it ever fix? This has just ruined NPCing for me. My BT is full of these things and other elites.

You'll have to work through the chain, sadly.

It fixed when I got back to that mission and completed it. To my knowledge, Dan has not changed anything so I suspect as TB said, you'll have to complete the mission chain to that point to get rid of them.

That's lame. I need like 650 ACFs to even do that and I use those when npcing. I'd rather have Dan just fix the game. I didn't have this issue when he first archived the mission. It only started after the time change last night.

don't those things only stay on bt for 10 mins anyway?

When you're npcing, that's annoying. Factor in I use neurals, that's even more annoying. Sometimes I may be in a rush as well and don't have time for crap like that.

If you start running low on neurals because of being clogged with Spikes, PM me you FB link. I'll send you some....

I appreciate the offer, but I'd rather Dan just fix this bug. Mission npcs should not show up if you are not on that mission at the time.

I feel your pain Bro, its gonna suck a little for me too till i finish that part of the chain too.

tell you what, i'll forward a big man hug to improve your mood.

This is something that shouldn't be happening, PM Dan and ask for it to be fixed.

Good idea. Just sent him a message via the "Report this App" function on Facebook.

Then quick download and receive the artifact! They look pretty in your cargo

From Dan:



Guess I'm screwed, but not as screwed as Doctor Bill.

I'm having the same frustration.

I can kind of understand the part about the mission being in-progress... but I don't understand why they only started turning up today. Hasn't this mission been archived for a week or more? And today's the first time I've seen Deepspikes, and it's not just one, it's many. Not like this is the first time I've been NPCing since the mission was archived, either!

So the logic here is, if you think that you can't finish a bi-weekly which has NPCs you have to kill / download, don't do it and they won't pop up until you get there? Seems kinda silly to me.

Hmmm I thought i did complete the mission I guess not..



Gets really anoying when you trying to NPC

Odd. I know I'm on my second iteration of that that specific mission, and I went on 2 large NPC runs after it was archived, and did not run into a singe one, and I guess I didn't do the first mission in the chain, however, I completed everyone one but the foci and deepspike one.
