I am wondering if the number of Campaign Battles has been reduced in the past week? Typically when you would look at the Campaign map there are at least 5~10 battles raging around the world. The past 24 hours I have been doing Campaign Battles I have noticed no more than 1 or 2 at a time and many periods where NO Campaign battles are active anywhere... On Shiva right now for the past 5 minutes there has been not a single Campaign battle, and on the Windurst continent there has been no battles in nearly 15 minutes. :/

I swear this is unusual and far less than what we are used to. Any changes of note I may have missed?

Has to do with morale and who owns what.

Can you explain that a bit better?

I've noticed a large decrease in campaign battle occurrences as well....

Currently on Valefor:

9 battles going on.

Normally if you think about, the lower the morale the less likely someone is willing to fight right?

Also if there's like a nation that owns everything and the beastmen own 1/0 (not counting unreleased zones) it seemed like there was less campaigns happening (beastmen rarely attacked) coulda been a glitch..but seems servers where the nations own almost everything seem to experience less campaigns than others where beastmen seem to own most or its pretty much split between beastmen/nation.

certain zones seem to have more activity than others - such as jugner and rolanberry. beastmen tend to go after zones that they are more likely to win.

I have found more campaign battles happen in zones that they are defending, especially in dungeons. the fights in outdoor zones simply don't last long enough, but the ones in the citadel usually lasts 15-30 minutes.

I tend to switch between Rollanberry Fields and Pashow Marshlands for campaign battle since mostly when one ends, another begins in the other zone.

Jugner is also a very active zone and I tried camping it for an entire day.
It was amazing the amount of waves generated at this zone but does get very crowded so I prefer Pashow and Rollanberry to Jugner.

At the very least I've seen only 2 going on at once then it shoots back up to around 6-9 in 15-20 mins there constant on Unicorn.

On carbuncle there is usually 8 or more battles going on all the time, its rare to see the number of battles get lower, so i guess it just varies from server to sever

I do however notice that whenever i goto do a battle in The Eldieme Necropolis [S] the battle would be going on but theres no campaign mobs what so ever. Me and a friend ran all over the place for about 30 mins, the battle music was still going yet nothing was attacking.

There were constantly 1-4 battles going on in Valefor most of yesterday from about (eastern time) 2pm till 11pm. Got over 20k xp too.

it's seemed a little slower, but not much, i was worried that we'd get less exp, there seemed to be less long fights and i wasn't getting over 1500 exp. but i did a offensive on vunkerl inlet and i got 3000+

Only "nerf" I've seen to battles in general is they don't last nearly as long as they used to in the past. Beastmen are able to do damage faster to forts then previously and also they send out solitary units just to run to fort, drop a bomb then warp. These can be killed before they reach the fort but it's difficult due to Voke or most other high hate generating spell will not stop them, or if it does not for long. Same goes for the Transporters when there is areas owned by beastmen. Transporters typically have around 1600HP and can be stopped if enough hate is generated, but if hate drops below a certain point the will take back to running to the fort to drop off their supplies.

I've not seen a score over 3000 since update but I'm still able to get 1700~2400 on battles during the weekdays. I've pretty much given up on trying to do campaign on the weekends since fight usually just go too fast due to more people being on. Still not a bad alternative to seeking for hours on end without an invite for a job that doesn't have a choice to go out and solo like others have.
