Campaign Ops Discussion

Granite Rose I (B)

Starts in Rolanberry Fields at D-9 Fortilace.

Quadav Stormer x3, very easy. 170 Limit Points, 640 AN.

Holy shit we have Ops, for like the first time ever since WotG came out. "We" being Bastok on Pandemonium.

For what it's worth, although it seems to run counter to any ideas I may have had, we're...

Funding 1
Supplies 1
Resources 1
Skill 2
Production 3
Freelances 1


Production doesn't seem to make a difference though since we were at 2 for almost the last week without all these.

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.

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?

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.

This just happened to me, and I did the Sandoria version. Campaign just started before i popped which might have something to do with it, but I doubt it. Gonna try one more time.

Edit: happened again, no campaign going on this time. Guess I'll wait till they fix it

edit2: Just a little more Info, I came as WHM/NIN and reposed the blm on pop. I opened with dia then hexa on the whm and when I cast something that took a little while (i think it was utsu ichi), that was when they depopped. I'm tempted to try to bring a friend to not stop attacking to see if thats the trick. Can anyone who beat it give a little more info? Thanks.

I have beaten the Sandy version of Delta Strike II. The first attempt was solo (Mnk/dnc lol) in which i was killed by the mobs. The second atempt I brought a Smn friend and he tanked one with Fenrir while I killed the second. Fairly easy and neither gob depoped. This is on Siren. Good luck!

Same for San d'Oria. Now we just have to figure out what we did differently this time to earn them, between last tally and this one. I wonder if Windurst was able to do it, too, or if they always had them.

I did the the Windy version solo as MNK/NIN.. I just fought them where the ??? was. Popped a Asuran on the BLM and then beat him down with a Hundred Fist. After it wore I Chi'd the WHM so it wouldn't depop or anything, but it was attacking me throughout the fight. With some evasion gear, I wasn't doing too bad. After the BLM died, I started to fight the WHM a bit, but really needed a cure so I ran around looking for a Pixie while the WHM chased me the entire him. There were 2 or 3 EP Gobs around that didn't link. After I got healed a bit, I went to town on the WHM.. beat him, clicked the ??? again and finished the OPs. Dunno what more to say

well, what i was asking is if even for those that completed, did it exhibit the same behavior other ppl are seeing? Turning yellow in the middle of the fight or not agro-ing on pop?

Sandy has 3 stars on production too and 2 stars on skills, others being 1 and unknown freelance.

but I noticed Sandy had Lv1 recon after the tally (and then changed again to recon lv0 today, but I didn't see any Ops being lost)

Mine aggro'd on pop, didn't turn yellow midfight.. even when I kited one for a good 3-5 minutes looking for a sprite.

[Wilimac]

I received my ssss ribbon yesterday, and within the Camp ops Supply Manufacture list none of the Ops for that is on the list. Not even the S ribbon Crystal Fist I is on the list its blank. Any idea why its not showing up?

[Kyreth]

Just a note: Delta is now listed as a "known issue" by S-E, as of the 25th.

Fix a-coming, hopefully.

[Septimus]

I think the best way to do Delta Strike II until it is fixed is to have two people actively fighting the mobs so that they do not depop. Just partner up when you want to do the mission for now.

[VZX]

I lost my campaign Ops again, back to a week ago. There's no Ops other than 1st, 2nd, and 4th subcategory. But this is 1 day after Sandy recon drop to lv0 (again) :/

[Akucaen]

Is anyone else having trouble with campaign ops not showing up at all, aside from a few? Myself and a friend whore out supply manufacture, but since he's gotten a bronze star, none of the supply manufacture operations show up.

Anyone have an idea why?

[Kyreth]

I'm beginning to think that campaign ops have a limit- that is, depending on your nation's strategy you have X number of a given OP type available...when they're done, they're done. It'd explain OP's vanishing and showing up seemingly at random, depending on how high a "respawn" rate said missions have.

The problem with that theory is, and I believe someone posted this at least once in this thread, that people from the same nation on the same server have had different OP available. Lemme see if I can find any posts like that...

Found it: Rath on p.15. Near the bottom.

[Deftscythe]

I apologize if this is old news. Today I had 2 op credits available; I did Iron Anvil II, went to use my next credit and found the supply manufacture category completely empty. I logged off, played a few hours of Mass Effect and logged back on to find all my supply manufacture ops available again.

[Xanthe]

Here's some more I've noticed with Op availability. I hit SCH10 the other day and my Op credits were full at 7 so I figured I'd spam some Iron Anvil II for easy exp and maybe "skip" a level on SCH. After 4 successful completions, I didn't have any Ops available under Supply Manufacture anymore. Oh well. I log on the next day, the Ops are available again. I do another Iron Anvil II, Ops disappear. I'm not 100% sure, but I may have last completed Iron Anvil II 5 days prior to my 4-run streak. If that's the case, it may be possible that there is a once per day limit for each category of Op, but each day you hold off on that category you're allowed to do an additional Op of that category in succession. I'm going to make sure I have Supply Manufacture Ops available today, but hold off on the free SCH exp and see if I'm limited to 2 of that category tomorrow. For those of you that notice Ops disappearing from your list (not counting ones that change with regional influence at tally), does this pattern fit?

[...] For those of you that notice Ops disappearing from your list (not counting ones that change with regional influence at tally), does this pattern fit?

I don't think that is the case, at least for the scenario you are describing. There seems to be 3 different situations of people not getting the Ops that they otherwise qualify for due to rank:

1. Missing certain offensive/defensive/intel Ops -- Due to national control, changes with regional influence at tally
2. Ops only available from Resource Procurement, Supply Manufacture, and Supply Transport -- Cause unknown
3. No Supply Manufacture Ops -- recent occurrences, cause unknown

You are considering #3, but it can't be a limit due to having done Ops in that category, as I had those Ops disappear today when I happened to be checking through them, yet I haven't done a Supply Manufacture Op since Saturday and I've done 8 Ops from other categories since then (9 if you count a failed Delta Strike II). It also wouldn't work as an explanation for #2 since myself and others have had them disappear/reappear without ever having done any of them.

[ircgeek]

I figured that resource ops disappeared if all of your nation-controlled zones had full resources or something along those lines.
