    I made a mistake in my mission. In missions where I have lost or stalemated Duke allows you to try as often as you like within the time limit to beat the target.

    But if you beat the target but somehow make a mistake (I clicked my secondary weapon once in a mission that I was supposed to use only fists or kick) then you get the mission stamped as a FAIL and you lose standing.

    I went back and beat the guy with just fists but to no avail. I had my chance and blew it.

    Worth being aware of.

    If you've failed a mission what do you do? I obviously need to get ten to go to the next stage, however, one of them has a guy that I can't hit so that timed out, and the other, that one where you send the package to someone, I sent like 3 and nothing happened so that timed out. Now my missions are stuck with two fails and I don't know what to do. They haven't designed this as well as it could have been.

    Not sure, what the problem is? New contract will spawn next day if you have available slots. In the mission with package your item most likely was not in parcel.

    "I want you to package up something that should be in the trash and send it to ... as a gift" - I think it's quite clear description?

    I've had that mission and it was quite clear that the item needs to be put into a parcel which should then be sent to the player in question - some players just don't read the mission brief properly.

    Well maybe, but it's also easy to forget that not everyone knows the game inside out. Some players have never bought or owned an empty card board box or received a parcel and are equally unaware we are able to create them.

    Without that awareness it's not as self-explanatory as it appears.

    I don't know the game inside out - what I can do is take the time to read and comprehend what has been written if something is put in front of me and, if I see something I don't know or I've tried something and appear to have not done it correctly, engage the grey matter just a little and look around for information to help me figure out what needs to be done.

    It's not rocket science we're talking about here after all is it - I guess sometimes you learn more from your mistakes than getting something right straight out of the gate and not knowing how or why.

    Read the description of the briefing, post in the questions forum, KNOW how to create a parcel, do it.
    Is it that hard to do, with the time limit before the mission fails?

    These missions are not supposed to have step by step instructions and hand-holding. Yes, some players don't know everything but this is as good a time as any to do some simple research, rather that just whining that "everything is too hard, I hate my life, kill me now...", honestly, they sound like teenagers. Oh wait, some of them probably are. Nvm.

    But that is what he did. He came to the forum for help and used this thread to ask for it.

    He even poked fun at himself. His only mistake was to not think to do it before the time ran out. But who knows, maybe he was busy.

    In any case, he wasn't whining as some of the posters in this thread seem to think (not you Tirth, but I can't quote everyone in one post) he just asked for advice.

    Looked to me like whining from bongo, but not just him, a lot of very whiny comments in general about pretty much everything in Torn, I should be used to it by now :)
