It is only me or just campaign end so fast now?

I used to last 1-2 hour At least now, campaign on asura last like 15 min. or even less. The minute i teleport to campaign, it ended already. Happen 10 time already since this morning. Am i doing something wrong here?

For the next few weeks, everyone and their dead dog will be doing Campaign. You need the final rank to get the new bodies as well as the new Campaign gear, and the new Union drops are going to be gorged to hell and back so people are looking to make a quick buck. Add in those who are keeping the mats to make their own Fairy weapons, and it's just drawing more and more people in. Oh, and Ancient Currency, people like those.

I actually saw a fight in Meriphataud where the mobs never made it to the fort and the defenders ... everybody charged off to fight them.

Happens a lot. I stood around waiting for mobs to show up once....and I waited. I waited...and waited some more. Next thing I know, battle is over. Uh huh....that was fun. Now I go hunting within a reasonable distance. Last time I did this, I found 2 small groups engaging everything. Everybody else was at the fort. All of this and about 25 ppl in the zone.

Problem for me has been not enough fights going on, so everyone just floods the singles that pop once in a while.

Single 1500-ish xp/AN battles are not funny. <_<

[Durahansolo]

Dammit, thought I was in another topic >_>, anyways I wish I could've seen that battle lol. I might get out there today and melee with the DD's.

Eh, I guess you gotta know where to fight, really. I had a 2K+EXP/1K+AN fight in one zone where it wasn't so populated. Just stay away from the popular zones.

I still don't know where to fight in some zones....I just stand away from the fort and if I see a couple of EG armor clad characters running in any particular direction, I follow them. If not and mobs start showing up, back to the fort i go.

As far as exp goes, hell, I'll take the 1.5k single battles. Anything 1.5k and better is good in my book. The ones that get me are showing up in a zone, popping flee, and arriving at the tag man just in time to port back. I hate that.

Also: I saw a Mhurron there the other day. My first thought was that I wished I could have SATA'ed him. Is that broken?

Just lost at Fort Karugo-Narugo [s]. For all the explosion in attendance to all the other zones, what's with peoples' avoidance of this zone? I happen to like it!

[WovenDarkness]

Can't really say. That zone gets bombarded on Kujata during my play time. GC[s] is left alone though...and I'm not sure why. Very, very few go there, and it's a great zone. I've seen GC be the only zone running a battle and still only a handful of people go...

Some of it is because of all the walking, especially with beastmen control, some of it is they don't know how nice a pull you can do down those bridges. But I think it's mostly the walking. Compare it with Saruta_S.

So here we are after the next campaign tally. On Fairy, the nations are 6, 6, and 6 after the campaign rush of last week. My only surprise is that nobody is at 7. (And last week Bastok only had their home city!)

Maybe now I can have some fights without fort bashing. My only regret is that I didn't spam Hawk Eye last night when I had 6 ops credits.

lol...ffxi is going to be more casual right now....
