Update
  • Added "active" and "past" competitions tabs to the competitions page.
You can now toggle between the two, and past competitions are now in a table with pagination.

Another update.

Complete:
  • Missions
In progress:
  • TeamSpeak integration
  • Mission advisor
  • Expedition analyser

MISSIONS
It has been one of my goals to add missions to the UHC website for a long time, and now the system is finally in place. The UHC missions are going to be similar to those in the game. The main difference is that in order to complete a mission, you will have to provide an expedition for the system to check. If the expedition checks out and all mission objectives have been satisfied, the system will cross off that mission and issue the corresponding reward(s). In other words, UHC has no way of knowing that you did a mission unless you provide a link to the expedition so it can check. In all other respects however, the system is the same. If anything it is even more flexible and will be able to accommodate different types of missions.

Like the official missions, the UHC missions will come in packs of ten. They will be issued by non-player characters which will be introduced over time. Our first non-player character is Bob, and you can read more about him below. Each mission will give a reward of 150 UHC points. Some missions (and some mission packs) upon completion will give additional rewards, such as em$, store items and memberships. Missions will be introduced as regularly as time permits (anything from several per day to one per week depending on other commitments). The first mission from the first pack is available now as a taster. More missions will be added to the first pack in the new year, but for now this is a good opportunity to get a feel for the system and to meet Bob.

IMPORTANT POINTS
Here are some rules to keep in mind regarding UHC missions:
  • all missions will be done in a single hunt (never spanning multiple hunts)
  • all missions will require you to provide the link to the hunt in question (expedition URL)
  • all missions will reward 150 UHC points
  • missions can only be completed using a hunt that started after the mission is released
  • some missions will carry bonus rewards upon completion
  • some missions will carry bonus rewards for the first x players to complete them
  • missions will range in difficulty from easy to extreme, but most will be fun and straight-forward
  • unless otherwise stated, missions can be done in single or multiplayer (some missions will have specific requests)
  • in time we will accept ideas for mission packs from community members (with rewards)

GET STARTED
To start with the first mission from Bob, just head over to the UHC website, log in and click on the Missions tab on the menu across the top.

Image

On the next page you will see the first mission pack. Click anywhere on the banner to open that mission pack.

Image

On the next page you will see all unlocked missions from that mission pack. Once you have a hunt that you can use to complete a mission, click the SUBMIT HUNT button.

Image

Finally, paste the expedition URL into the text box provided and click the VERIFY EXPEDITION button to check to see whether the hunt completes the mission.

Image

An expedition URL looks something like this:

Code: Select all

https://www.thehunter.com/#profile/{username}/expedition/{id}

I am sure there will be questions, so please feel free to ask them here. Hopefully this is a feature that many can enjoy. It is also a good way to build up UHC points, which can be redeemed for em$. The remaining missions from the first pack will be along very soon. In fact, the second mission will be uploaded in the next 5-10 minutes of this post.

Good luck, and enjoy :)

This one is giving me "invalid expedition URL", even though it has ended and it has the required animals.

EDIT: Found the problem: the url given by the site has "buiurei", and once I changed it to "BuiuRei", it worked.
Mission Complete.

Something tells me these missions aren't going to be a cakewalk. I know who the designer is, and if past experience is any indication I'm going to have to get my valium prescription refilled first.... ;)

Thank you for these, cb. Always fun and very challenging.

Edited for content.
