Hi all!
I'm having fun with the beta and am exited about getting the game when it comes out.
I do have a few questions, though, and would love a bit of help if anyone's willing to answer.
1. According to another thread I read on this forum, it's supposed to be possible to get a Partner Card for your class NPC (Lou, etc) at the end of the tutorial.
I've finished the tutorial a few times, and although Lou says she is giving me her partner card, it never actually shows up in my list and after the tutorial ends, I'm not able to summon her or use her in any future missions.
What am I doing wrong?
2. What do the mission ranks mean? On most missions I seem to score an "S", on one I scored an "A". Is there a list somewhere of what the rankings are and what they mean?
3. According to the tutorial, the LT button is supposed to be used to bring up a list of trial status information, such as the list of objectives and criteria for rankings. So far, I've only been able to bring this up once per mission and I haven't found any criteria list or specific objectives. It just seems to be a one or two sentence briefing on the mission and seems to be only something you can bring up at the very beginning of the mission.
Am I missing something?
4. About half of the other players I see in the lobby have a black icon next to their name. Does anyone know what this is? I was speculating that maybe it meant they were looking for a group, were in a group, were a leader of a group or were in a locked group. But I really don't know.
5. I've been in a few groups so far, but no one has said anything or responded to me when I spoke. Given that everyone in the beta has to have a Gold account (and therefore have voice chat capability), I'm assuming voice chat isn't working for me.
Is there anything you have to do in-game to enable voice chat? Any way to test that it's working?
I can see a little white microphone icon next to my character information. If I unplug my mic, the icon gets a little circle/slash through it. But talking into the mic doesn't make the icon light up or anything.
Thanks much for any help!
