Can't start storyline

Postby jt78 » Sat Nov 26, 2011 10:18 pm

So, I got the email from the dead agent around April game time but I didn't try to hack it until a few months later. I tried hacking it with the codes given and with a password breaker but no matter how long I wait after.. I never get the email from ARC offering the job after hacking their servers. Should I not clean up my logs, or did I just wait too long after the first email arrived. If so, is there some way to start the storyline - I really don't want to start over :( - or maybe there is a way hack the .usr file to allow me to start the storyline?

Thanks! :D

That's your mistake right there.

I tried hacking it with the codes given
This is all you need to do to start it. That, and waiting for a reaction.

You can alternatively start the storyline once you reach a high enough Uplink Rank -- the beginning (and perhaps other) missions start to appear in the Mission List after some time.

Thanks, I knew it was triggered by hacking the server with those codes, but is there a certain time limit in which you have to do it.. any ideas what it is? And is there any way around it or do I have to start again?

Okay, so my rank is mage and I'm the #1 uplink agent (NoOther1 is 2nd) do I need to get a higher rank or do I just keep trying to hack the ARC mainframe and then waiting?
