    The flagged mission was immediately available to me this morning. My squad had blue in all categories too, so should be 100% to complete... 11 more hours lol

    I really hate that this is locked behind the squadrons again. Don't like the min/maxing required for them, don't like the real time waiting.

    I remember squadrons was actually a suggestion I had prior to their implementation. I was really excited to do the missions when it was released. However, I wasn't expecting to have to micro manage them so much, and figured they would act like npcs in solo instances, so I quickly lost the motivation to progress them.

    My apologies in advance for my negligence, but have previous patches updated them to be more AI friendly and needing less micro managing?

    I just ran Brayfoxs Longstop and really the only micromanaging I had to do was with das dragon and his piles of puke...ended up losing the tank but we finished without him... so all in all, not a terrible experience...

    Just don't try Bray hard unless your character has good AoE, because your squad are useless at handling the bombs on the final boss. On some occasions they even hit bombs back into the middle.

    Got to love a squadron that actively works against you! Perhaps it's some sort of initiation test?

    Oh yeah. This was a nightmare. I failed time and time again. Day one I tried as Dark Knight as I was leveling it and was smooth until the last boss. I kept dying and dying to those bombs. I'd spread them, but it was never enough.

    Barely on Sunday, I decided to give it another chance since it was the only one without a check mark and wanted to complete it before the new ones. I went in as a Machinest. Again smooth until last boss. It was easier to spread out this time, but my crew would die right after, then me. I would disengage them during the spreading of the bombs and for some reason after I re-engage them, they would stand in front of boss and get killed. It took me a long while dying even after successfully spreading the bombs, but finally did it.

    Fortunately for me, I never gave up on my squad and kept leveling them. I'm still trying to get full bars on all stats on all of them. I got 5 completed already, but RNGesus is a cruel bastard. I'm always trying the new unlocked dungeons, so by the time this patch dropped, I had all dungeons complete and over 100 commands done, so I should receive Captain rank as soon as I log in today.

    Yeah, that was a bad Squadron experience, comparable with Halatali Hard's first boss or Wanderer's Palace's last boss.

    I had to back out and do it over as Warrior so I could Overpower spam.

    Personally found Pharos Sirius to be a pain as well. Zuu boss is troublesome, since the adds won't target anything but you.

    I did the 2 new dungeons for squadron
    These hard modes are actually very annoying with them
    The vault was super easy
