Campaign discussion

Sweet... just died to a campaign NM and all his buddies when not even participating in a campaign. I hope the maintenance fixes this BS today.

It is a bug where if you're in a party and someone has a tag, the mobs will aggro anyone in that party. We had this happen to an alliance in The Eldieme Necropolis. The C.A. was in a room full of Orcs, as soon as the first person got tag, everyone in the alliance got aggro. You didn't give much detail but I'm assuming that's what happened to you.

Nah not in a party, was soloing some Quadavs for the Oven Mitts over in Grauberg[S], and then got jumped outta no where. Do they link with the same beastmen type, or was that some bug?

[Judai]

They link with their native Beastmen.

Damnit! Thought the lil sword icon guys would just walk right on by, like when you walk past them and they don't aggro. thx

Did a Jeuno Outskirts Campaign rally. Had just missed Batallia, Rolanberry was half way through when I got there. The group I joined didn't quite get the handle of killing the mobs until the near end. We ended up having a PLD/RDM kiting a few while picking off straggling quadav. Unfortunately, the boss NM move (found in Dynamis-Bastok) was very deadly... If I had full HP I would have been fine.

We moved to Sauromague Champaign afterwards where Campaign had just started. A lot more people were there this time (and pixies!). It was nice when the two different alliances finally teamed up, because the BLM yagudos were destroying everybody. Stunners are definitely helpful there (I wish I was on RDM/DRK..) Ended up wiping many of the Yagudo finally after 30 minutes, and shortly thereafter killed the boss Yagudo. The remaining forces warped out within 5 minutes of the boss's death.

This is much more fun that Besieged...probably because of the lower lag and higher cooperation in smaller groups (i.e. 18-36 ppl instead of 700).

all I have to say is the Yagudo WHM NM is fucking retarded. It (and all its units) heal itself. A few people from my LS had a run at Fort Karugo-Narugo [S] campaign, beastmen owned. Before the npc units came in we took a shot at the NM. We even had a kracken drk going at it full blast (he's well equipped too) after we got him down to 50% and still couldn't get it dead. We eventually wiped since sleeps started getting resists on the other birds :/

Eldieme is the same here. I believe you have to kill regular beastmen in the zone as mentioned above to help weaken them and nobody is doing it. I've just started soloing the EP-DC Orcs in the zone and Fortifications has dropped from 150/150 to 148/150. Hopefully that has something to do with the strength of them. Links and HP aggro Hounds are a real pain in the ass though.

[Soraan]

I don't see why the Beastmen wouldn't aggro you even if you didn't have a campaign sword tag by your name. Afterall, you are at war with these mobs no matter if you are wanting to fight them right now or not. Might be changed though because people could easily MPK you just training them to people soloing mobs.

On Cerberus, Windurst is about to take over their entire continent (Mer. Mounts is at like 90% Windurst on the bar) which pretty much means the Yagudos just got owned. The Yags are only "Lvl. 1" though, so I wonder if they plan on increasing how hard they are like they did with Besieged. Orcs on our server are getting weaker (middle-ish morale), but poor Bastok - Quadavs are still fucking maxed out on everything and are outrageously powerful.

The NAs on our server just don't seem very interested in Campaign really. Only like myself and another person in my LS actively do Campaign after LS events are done; the rest don't even know what it is yet or think it's just another useless besieged kinda thing. Maybe when they release some good armor to buy with Allied notes or have some sorta use for them besides OPing or buying new Sprinter's boots, people will take more interest in it.

[Seigfried Of Pandy]

does it work vice versa that if your in control of an area the fortifications go up if you kill the beastmen?

[Priran]

I remember a WHM NM in Fort, but it died in a couple seconds. Pretty much anything that gets a reinforcementfull of NPC to the face dies stupidly fast.

Which reminds me, Nyumomo is awesome. She commands a group of 3 or 4 Patrol Worms that she can move around at will.

[Thistle]

Thanks to the folks who suggested doing Campaign in different zones to get better reward. Ronf and Bat Downs ftl, I went to Jugner last night and got max reward repeatedly! Yay!

We did later with less people and got the NM and his eles by themselves by the C.A. Went down pretty fast with just a few people beating on him. Eles can't sleep but easy as hell to kite around away from the NM(so they don't cure him). They don't cast any other magic. It's a fun offensive battle Can kite everything and have someone tag NM or sleepga everything if you got a couple of non-noob blms.

Awesome until the worms ga the mobs you sleep...orz

[Priran]

Everything does that and it's not really a problem unless you're fighting Quadav or something.

Update lets you buy Instant Reraise for 30 Allied Notes. :D

Just did an offensive battle in Vunkerl. This MNK was pulling orcs with chi blast, only got a link twice (which I slept). Meleed about 5 of them down and they ran.

900 limits/691 Allied Notes. Bronze Ribbon.

What is the morale level of orcs on your server? If two people can cause the entire orc army to flee, then that's a bit overkill. However, I do like the exp cap.

[Forbidden16]

Just did Campaign on North Gustaberg, NPCs never arrived but with like 8 people we cleared all the Quadavs until they ran away. They were EPs I'd say. Rewarded with 1380 EXP and 979 AN.

What rank were you? I'm wondering if they upped the EXP/AN so people don't run back to turn in and get a new one.

Pretty low...the bar looks to be around 10-15%? The Yagudo are slightly lower, even; we've been beating the crap out of both of them. Yagudo prosperity is a mere sliver. Quadav bars are both full...poor Bastok.

There were actually about 6 people total, I just mentioned the MNK because he was pulling. There was also a PLD who actually tanked stuff, so that was pretty helpful. I saw some nukes land too, but I was the only one sleeping things >.>
