I noticed that we lost the notation for Missions from our detective page. It is private information now rather than public.

Have I been oblivious to the change and just noticed it?

Is there a reason for the change?

I am fairly certain that the missions have always been private.

Sep-9-2006 09:38

As far as I know we were never able to see any pending missions for other detectives than ourselves, or am I remembering this wrong?

Abashed grin,

Mea Culpa

Just not thinking clearly today I guess.

Yep, Andrea and Greyling, they've always been private.

Actually I am sure they used to be public, because I would see people with missions for the PC and the lib when I was still based in NY and wonder what that was about.

Ok, now I am confused.

I agree with Ara that we could see them before, I know I answered Newbie questions about that question "why to detectives have missions"

Then this morning I log in and do not see the missions on the public part of the detective tab.

When two people almost immediately said no, I thought I must have been wrong. Now I am not sure again.

But it doesn't make sense that we could have seen each other's, because when new players have asked about missions they've always asked "what is this thing with missions I have on my detective page", never in reference to "hey I see someone has a mission about a book or a package can you tell me what this is?".

well now *I'm* not sure....

I asked a couple of others because I couldn't remember for sure myself. I had thought that I did NOT see other people's missions. In fact I only ever recall seeing people's saved favors in their bios.

The others I've asked concur. No, we have not been able to see people's missions. Just their saved favors. *grins* Perhaps it was wishful thinking, although I cannot think of any reason that info would be useful to any besides the individual who has it.

Also with the new expansion info you see under missions, it might be too revealing if it was on the public detective page.
