[GI] demaner mission bug?

in the 'Demanding demaner' mission i have to deal about 6 million (or 60million, i might be blind) damage to it, but whatever i do against it the mission does not progress, it's not changing from 0 to anytihn?

 

You might need to cause damage to the HP instead of the Shield. I know it applied that way on some previous Missions I have done where the damage from SAB gave NO credit to the damage inflicted but did start as soon as I damaged the HP after the Shield was gone.

 

i understand what you are saying, but i was shooting it with x4 and x6 ammo, so surely i would inflict some damage against its hull?

 

If I remember correctly this has an Insta-Shield to it also. Do you see the Shield dropping when attacked? I know some of the Special NPC's have the protectors that need to be destroyed before they can be destroyed (like BattleRays and Deadly BattleRays or Kubicurium in the Invasion Gate), if they are protected by Insta-Shield you can shoot all day and never damage it.

 

it does not have insta-shield, i do se the shield dropping fast, but none of it gives me any credit, iwas wondering, what if only the 8 hardest hitters get the progress, (as it is that the 8 hardest hitters get the rewards)

 

...so i've been doing some digging and someone told me you ccan only damage it with that special rb-## ammo...First of all, can someone who knows his **** please confirm this (thank you).

And secondly, if that is so i would need to pay 100.000 uridium just to complete this mission as my damage on that demaner would be 112.000 per shot (8-fold damage) thus needing 19-20k rounds of that ammo-->which in turn costs 100k uridium.

...And all this for the hercules, great reward taht is true, but an impossibility as i get popped immediately when i approach the demaner

 

That is a screenshot of an announcement on the DarkOrbit Discord(not any on the forum), as it suggests it is a general issue with the quest(aka everyone has this issue). Also at least I have not seen anyone on Discord say it works with RB-214 ammo, as in just people saying the quest doesn't work.

I would of already checked(know answer) for myself, but somehow slipped my mind lol(as in to put quest on and get to dmg Demaner part of it). Though of course if it does work with RB ammo, then I'm sure someone would of already said something about that on Discord(I'd be very surprised if it actually does work with RB, given what said...).

 

The can't expect us to specially buy ammo just to do a mission, right?, Even so it would not matter as non UFE players don't have a chance in hell to get to the demaner, let alone damage it 60million points

 

Yeah it would be a silly requirement(using RB ammo) to be able to do the quest, the reward is good but I wouldn't say it's really that good to warrant something like that*. I guess will just have to wait and see when it gets fixed/exact issue found out.

*Not like the reward is 3+ hercules or something lol. Also the quest doesn't mention it at all, so I very much doubt need to use RB ammo.

 

maybe they'll give us a compensation hehehe (false hope though XD)

 

When they originally launched the Damaner Event 2014 you were expected to use RB-214 ammo to generate the most damage. The Current FAQ does not specify them having changed this. Just remember whatever your damage is using x4 ammo you will double it with RB-214 against the Demaner Freighter and if they follow past events there are Bonus Boxes/Cargo Drops with the ammo in them. After reading the Mission you have to be pretty strong to even be able to do the Quest unless you have someone helping you PUSH your account as my FE+ ships do not get any easy kills in the Battle Maps, but instead become the easy kills for others.

They also say the HP changes with each NEW spawn depending on how long the previous one lived, according to how long it is expected to live (it dies too soon higher HP, takes too long to kill less HP).

 

not sure how it is on the server where you play, but on my server it is very easy to get the required amount of kills in the battle maps , not by account pushing, but using my favorite tactic, the BLITZKRIEG. Basically using cloak and hitting very hard on unsuspecting bonus box gatherers. mmh, this got off topic, to summarize, i'll wait for the quest bugg to dissolve and i'll wait for a response from support, then i'll see what can be done, this thread may be closed

 

Closing as resolved.
