Summary0005956: Ability to Abandon Missions
DescriptionAs it stands there is no way to get rid of a mission that you don't want to do, so currently my continent is filled with boss tower missions with rewards I don't need or want.

I suggest some way of getting rid of those missions.

Now for a number of reasons this probably shouldn't be free. My vote would be for either 10/15 CP points, or 0 CP points but applying some other affect to the region\world.

Missions will start expiring soon, this has been planned from the start -- just haven't had time yet!

Out of interest, expiring based on what? Time played, missions completed?

Just expiring based on the amount of game time that has passed. So actually using nightfall/sunrise would make them expire faster. However, they would not expire while you are in them.

That seems fair enough.
at least seems to help justify the crafting and mana costs of nightfall/sunrise

Nightfall and sunrise are actually enormously useful, or will be -- just not quite yet. :)

They already are when you want a daytime screenshot and it's night time. :)

For 0.579: missions can now expire by the passage of (in-game calendar) time :)

A week's time... That's 70 minutes, right?

Yes -- however, it's only a couple of minutes if you spam sunrise or nightfall.

Also, don't forget about secret missions. We're working on those, and have them... mostly implemented for the next release. Those let you pursue your own ends regardless of what is going on with the world map.

Oh, I don't have a worry about them going away too slowly. With 70 minutes of life-time, I need to complete them in 10 minutes or less to not lose any missions :D

And yes, I know that's not the whole intent of missions; there's no real harm done if one vanishes. Makes for an interesting one-continent personal challenge though: Complete all missions without letting any of them time out. Probably doable, as long as you keep track of which mission popped up when. Now that I think of it... I'll make a separate Mantis issue about it, but it would be nice to see how long a mission has left to live.

We already have a time to live counter on them, or at least it's on the list if not yet in place (not sure if Keith got to that yet).

I really wouldn't stress about being able to do all the missions, that's like taking all the planets in AIW. You want to do the _right_ missions, not just all of them. ;)
