Campaign Ops Discussion

[VZX]

I lost my Crystal first I & II as well as Iron Anvil between last night (12 am pacific) and this noon.
My friend had the same problem last night; He tried to do Material Storms once, and got the Ops, back. I tried the same, they didn't come back. :/

[Balak]

Is anyone else having problems with Delta Strike II? I've tried it twice now and failed because the goblins just depop on me midfight. As soon as I pop them, I use Sheep Song, sleeping them both, then start killing the BLM. In both of my attempts, the BLM (mob i'm fighting) would randomly go yellow during the fight without me ever switching target off it. I am not kiting or anything. I am standing still and spamming BLU spells, but on each attempt, the instant the other gob woke up from my sleep, both gobs depopped almost instantly.

[Kimiko]

This is odd...

My current missions:

Stock and Awe I
Stock and Awe II
Material Storm I
Vanguard-X I
Vanguard-X II

...And that's it. I have never not had the Supply Manufacture line before...This is Fenrir server, Star Rank 1, Bastok. I'd post more details but I gotta log. It's just wierd...

Yeah, just had the same thing here on Siren, did 2 sets of Crystal Fist II for my scholar (got to 31 on the first), went back for the 3rd and the ops were gone. Windy has 5 areas here (although 4 of them are 0/150 on supplies), or their's some safeguard against spamming particular ops over and over again. I've done CFII the last 8 or 9 ops in a row.

edit: Gonna put in a GM call, see if something's up or if it is related to available supplies
edit 2: No reply from GM, had to logout beforehand. And only 12 in queue atm... SE could use a few dozen more GMs

Had Material Storm II pop up on my list today, asking for 33 army biscuits. None ever sold in AH and crafted only afaik. Had to craft them myself >.> 240/780 reward.

Edit: lost all my security/offensive/defensive/military to get this one resource procurement op.
Edit 2:I did give my nations NPC new suggestions for our policies. Could our individual choices also effect our own OP availability? Not just our nations overall strategy.

[Tomino]

Timer always started the moment they show you which item you need.

i did Crystal and Iron I taking all the time in the world to find ingredients *before* pressing enter and so starting the questions. you basically wait when the npc mentions the recipe, but maybe SE noticed that and changed the timer so now you really have to know the recipe yourself, which makes both OPs kinda hard for some people >.>

[sekaran]

Just solo'd Delta Strike II (W) .. man, 100Fist on the BLM mob when it has blaze spikes up isn't.. smart. Was down to like 120HP after killing it and had to run around for a sprite. lol

[VZX]

Got Sterling Star
New Ops :
Material Storm II and Iron Anvil II (as well as getting the previous 3 supply manufacture Ops

[Chubbs]

I'm not sure if it has been posted along with the other problems in Delta Strike II but I found out the hard way that the goblins will go SSJ. Was fighting them on RDM/WAR and had the BLM dead and WHM to 40%ish when it's damage scaled from 30~ a hit to 170+ a hit by the time I died with phalanx on. Just a warning if you plan on killing slow don't know if it's supposed to be like that or not. To prove im not insane, 2nd try:

That was after it went unclaimed and regened to 100%. I casted blind on it and was like hey it's off, then bam im dead. 100% spell resist other than that blind once it went crazy too. I would put timer around 15 minutes to kill both of them.

[nekoshoonen]

All my Ops are gone pretty much, only things left are supply transport and procurement...

I'm Bronze Star *
windy is missing GC has recon level 2 and full morale /prosperity
This doens't make any sense to me >.>;

[Pyro]

Just lost Ops off of my list for the first time since installing the expansion.

San d'Oria: 6
Windurst: 6
Bastok: 6
Beastmen: 0

Funding: *
Supplies: *
Resources: *
Skill: **
Production: ***
Freelances: Unknown

The only ops I have now are:

Resource Procurement:
Stock and Awe I and II
Material Storm I
Supply Transport:
Vanguard-X I and II
Supply Manufacture:
Crystal Fist I and II
Iron Anvil I

That's it and its really annoying.

Just happened to me on the Windy version of the Op.

It was weird from the start... they didn't aggro upon pop, then about midway through killing the first one they both depopped.

Afterwards, the ??? just said "You find nothing out of the ordinary." ... I waited 5 mins, 15 mins, as well as zoning. In the end, I had to bite the bullet and talk to the NPC and fail the Op.

[Naphtali]

Same for me on Delta II. Me Monk75 + friend RDM75 just tried this. Slept BLM and I was killing WHM np. Got it to ~40% then they both just depopped..

[Mertron]

Did Delta Strike 2 again today for a rdm who needed clear, had no problem with it. I solo'd one and he solo'd the other so neither had a chance to unclaim/depop.

Ranked up to Mythril Star today, didnt change my available ops at all. :/

I should add that I was also doing the Windy version of the Op when they depopped on me. Perhaps it's a Windy only glitch?

[Kurstone]

lost 3 tags to this on delta II this morning on sandy

[VZX]

Sandy Recon Lv1 with minimal morale/prosperity (as opposed to Lv0 with maxed morale/prosperity last night), All 3 nations have 6 controlled areas each.. nothing new here, it happened 2 weeks ago (well.. closely similar with beastmen still have 1 controlled area)

but this is what I got new in this morning (by the availability)
Crimson Domino I <- never seen this before
Aegis Scream I + Granite Rose I <- I've done Aegis Scream I
Streetsweeper I, II + Delta Strike I <- I've done streetsweeper I
Iron Anvil II <- I've done Iron Anvil I
Brave Dawn I <- never done it before

Don't think so, I just completed that one last night.

It's not, same thing just happened to me twice on the Bastok version.

Lame. Guess I'll leave this one alone until they fix it or someone figures out how to stop the mobs depopping.

[Khamsin]

I finally have access to more ops after the tally. I now have Security, Offensive, Defensive, and Military Training. I'm in San d'Oria and we have all 6 regions. However, we've had 6 regions before and didn't have access to those ops, so I'm not sure what's changed.

Well I suppose that confirms that the goblins go into some sort of rage mode (so that the next sucker dont have to wait all day for you to solo it ) = 15mins feels about right to me. I am not gonna try it again though to find out - I will go as duo and pwn them. RDM solo ftl on this one - not enough fire power.

Note on my second attempt I also got a full resist on a sleep from the WHM (raged) while weakened. So you cant deal with it that way either - did not have time to try gravity etc...
