Campaign discussion

[Lucavi]

Alright, about the whole "attacking the fortress" thing -- is it true that you have to hold out in the fight until the NPCs arrive to fight? The first time we fought earlier in rolanberry, we killed one of the Quadav NMs after like an hour of fighting, and some NPCs showed up, but got killed as they ran straight in. The fight continued, but eventually the quadav just retreated and vanished.

After the fight, we went to the fort, and some galka were doing a drive-by on it, when we thought all NPCs had died. We beat the hell out of the fort once the warped, and dragged it down from 150 to 108. It wouldn't take anymore after that.

Later, campaign hit again, and this time the attacking forces were taken out -- it was a short fight, even though we PCs were beating the quads pretty badly. We didn't get to attack the fort this time after the fight.

So... does it boil down to keeping the NPCs alive long enough to make the 3000000000000000000000000000 defending quadav run away so you can attack the fort?

Has anyone else seen a campaign in which there is no NPC from the nation?

Yeah, we have. Last night we took on Shadowhand and her army of Shades. They opened with Sleepga and proceeded to take us out with AoE spells and Earth Crusher. After waiting for them to run away, we got ourselves up and waited another 30-40 minutes. Clan Longtooth came, and we slept them and it took us about almost an hour to get them down to 1 Orc and Battlemaster Vatgit to 20% (freaken THFs and their massive evasion). However, right then a third army spawned (it was a RNG Orc group). After taking out that NM, Battlemaster fled at 10%.

Campaign ended and we had no help whatsoever...

Oh, and after like 5 minutes Campaign started again!

One thing I've been messing around with, is that if I use a pet to attack any monster it will invoke the npcs to attack it. Otherwise they won't.

Seems like the NPCs are programmed to assist other NPCs.

Campaign Ops Crystal Fist I (W)
Talk to adjunatn (sp) in f-9 i chose bonecraft since it's my craft. asks you to tell him recipes for 3-4 synths and got 90 exp (LOL) and 480 allied notes

I just tried this, was looking up recipes in somepage because I'm a crafting nab and it failed me because "they didn't have time for me to wait for me to remember all my recipes." Guessing there's a time limit to put the stuff in to stop people looking it up XD

Ya I just tried this one too, it took me only a minute to answer it all because I wanted to be sure I got it right, the fucker didn't say anything about a time limit. They really need to change how much time your given, some of the recipes are completely random things that you never EVER synth. Who the hell has even synth'd a Panacea before, I bet only a handful of people.

San d'Oria is in control of 5 areas (S. Sandy, E. Ronfaure, Vulkern Inlet, Jugner, and Battalia Downs) and refresh threshhold has increased to 60%. Haven't tested regen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were similar... 5% increase per territory gogo!

Military training: Brave Dawn I (atleast 3 persons)

Assault.

Just cleared Streetsweeper I for San D'Oria, after accepting the mission I found a "Suspicious Object" at (J-9) in the middle of the plaza, checking it yelded 60xp and "You met you quota!" mesasge and it disappeared afterwards.
I wandered around S.Sandy lòooking for other spots and I found another "Suspicious Object" at (D-7), middle of the walk, but only got "You find nothing of intrest here..." message, probably it's one "Suspicious Object" for each player doing the quest.

Talking to the Op guy afterwards yelded 420 Notes

By the word "quota" and the name of the mission implying it's the first tier, I imagine the higher tiers will just have higher quotas.

[Rocl]

I couldn't find the Suspicious Objects anywhere
