If you are offline and the task is completed you wont get the reward. You can though use a group to do the task then right before the task is completed you can drop players from the task and invite those that have not completed the task so they can receive the rewards and or progression flags and or faction. We did this alot for TBS task to help get guildies progressed.

You do not need to be in the same zone or in the same group. Just need to be a part of the task. You can be invited to a task from any zone just using /taskadd. I did several task with guildies just sitting in the guild hall collecting the oruks and faction from TBS.

Shared task become locked at certain stages in the task. Usually right before you complete the final stage or loot the final item. Once you pass that point you can't add or remove members. Some task allow you to add and remove players before the final turn ins as were the case in a lot of TBS task.

I think I had it about 70% complete but I haven't worked on it for a few months as I put it aside to work on SoD and other more interesting stuff.

I'll probably revisit it at some point to finish it off and commit it, but no ETA.

Thanks for your response, I am very much looking forward to this.

Wondering if their has been any progressed made toward this function?

Would be quite significant to get it working.

Good god I would have Derision's babies as I fullheartedly agree...

But, I respect what he has done and his time so I wait patiently, I will most likely convert a lot of stuff over to it, especially with the new content on the way to compensate for my short lived but quality solo progression. 8 D (Tons of stuff on the way)

I haven't worked on it since back in March.

I don't remember exactly how much there was left to do, but I would guess a couple of weeks work, full time. Plus I remember I wasn't particularly happy with how I had coded it,
both in how I had retrofitted it into the existing task system, which wasn't designed with shared tasks in mind, and also with having to worry about members of the tasks being in
different zones and keeping their task state all synced up across zones.

Add in extra time to re-architect what I have already written (which I just checked is a 6533 line diff against the latest source) and it would take even longer to complete.

To be honest, right now, I don't have any desire to put in the time and effort required to get back up-to-speed with it and finish it off.
