My group has encountered the same glitch three times in a row. Killing from the bunnies clockwise around the floor, we found that the last two waves (eyes & pixies) despawn when the the objective timer ends. Anyone else experiencing this?

Update: On our fourth run we killed the pixies first, and went anti-clockwise. We waited after the lizards for the clock to stop, and the last two waves remained.

Are you sure you didn't just have someone go anti-establishment and go counter clockwise alone

I just farmed SADs on my two characters separately. I started with the rabbits and continued clockwise, but all of the other monsters were there. Verified because my limit chain ended on 95, meaning I killed all 96 starting on floor 1.

We are 100% sure it happened, because on the third run we left a mule at the start to watch the Pixies as we killed clockwise. There were four of us, and we always stick together in case anyone gets too many links.

It was baffling when it happened the first time, but we chalked it down to bad luck. The second time we laughed because it seemed this glitch was repeating. So on the third time we left the mule at the start, and we confirmed all the floating eyes & pixies depopped after the objective timer hit zero. Maybe it's a server thing? Did anyone else on Cerberus encounter this last night?

I've always done eye and pixie last and never once encountered this.

Same, before last night I had always (99% of the time) killed from the bunnies and ended on the Pixies, and never encountered this problem before.

If you solo farm Omen how many crystals are you getting? Isn't it like 12 a run? Which means to get 600 or so for a R15 it would be 50 runs?

I do every SAD run alone and I have been writing the numbers down for the last two months or so. All on THF with TH tag (so you can assume TH 8 or 9 on every target), I got 1561 SADs total out of 129 runs. In all of these samples, all 96 monsters have been killed.

1561/129, about 12.10 SADs/canteen if you were interested at all. It does fluctuate a lot, though. I have seen as low as 4 and as high as 21 within these 129 runs.

What does the acronym SAD, being used in this thread, mean?

I know this is eyeballing without having recorded anything,but I would like to give my opinion. I think I'll start recording though.

My full time this set has as much th as I can fit, th+16. Now I stay in my th set full time when farming swarts,or anything I am trying to raise the level on. I know max starting is 8, but I feel you have a greater chance to level up the on a mob when your +th is higher than the current level.

I do see fluctuations as well, as many as 24, with 16-18 being the expectation. I never see less than 12.ever. that I can promise.
My runs take a little longer,if I used tag I would be in full ws and tp gears and I clear faster,but I fear a lesser average as has been reported with thf.so the time is worth it to me.

This may be the case. SE did a very bad translation a few years ago that kinda read like this. If my only job as THF is max TH I also have a set for THF with a bunch of +2 TH augs I swap into.

Cool story bro, you don't have to write down every toon name that was on your party, long useless reply with unnecessary info.

Yep, someone who has to pick fault in everything. So I added some names? People on Cerb know those players won't make things up. I removed the names, seen as it offended the guy so greatly; not that it takes much. Cool story bro? Sure is bro.

Didn't encounter this in the 4 runs I did. I always kill clockwise out of habit and I'm rather slow I'd say, so if they had to depop, they'd have.

You guys most likely did something that you usually do not. It doesn't sound farfetched to me, you just have to go over every detail and see what changed.

My money is on this. Especially if there is a good BLU in the group.

Well not same issue but randomly disbanded us couldn’t get re invited. 5 mins invited showed up but the person was gone. So we logged out logged back in all characters in omen get server error. On mules not in omen just fine. I guess I have to wait till omen time runs out.

He's saying the pixies and eyes are physically depopping when timer ends, not that they just aren't there. If someone was killing pixies in the mean time, you could easily see the messages in chat log or you would reasonably ask "hey where are the pixies" and someone would explain they already killed them.

Let me repeat myself, although Missdivine will probably throw a fit.

Well, I wouldn't expect the people he listed to be 100% able to give a list of what they did step by step but I'd actually give credit if they say that stuff worked a certain way, I'd believe them.

Now as to find the why, we may never know.
