Mission (not) completed

[Ren]

I just joined a game in progress, mid-way the second day of Big Oil. I help the team out finish the mission, get my card item, and no Skull mask. I thought to myself that it could be how Steam takes a few seconds to register an achievement. Nope. I proceed to check the Contract Broker, just to find that I did not actually complete the mission, oddly enough.

The Big Oil job is one of the rarest to pop-up in Crime.net, especially the higher difficulty ones. I just don't get it. Is it because I joined mid-way, or something?

You need to complete the heist from the lobby, pretty much yes. I'm sorry you didn't get it, but that's how it works.
Reportedly it still counts for you if you're there and at the loadout/ready screen for the last day on multi-day heists. But getting DC'd or joining a heist in progress? Nope.

What you're telling me is that I need to wait about a hour or so to actually find the Big Oil mission on Overkill, or just spend about 4 million on it, to end up failing when playing with the community as it is, spending at least about another hour trying to actually finish it.

Can always look for some help in the Crews & Clans subforum...I understand your problem though, yes. I stopped doing Big Oil once I got it done on DW because GOSH it's great to see the back of it.

Hi there. Later I can buy as many Big Oil as we need to finish. I am lvl 89 and am capable of stealthing, I added you.

Really? My crew and I love Big Oil. It's hard, but fun. Frustrating to fail because you can't just immediately try again, but so satisfying when you succeed.

Lets just say I regret my choice of opting to do Doctor Miserable solo. That might have something to do with it.

Wow. Bravo. That turned out to be quite the fun challenge for us, but with a team of 4 high level and very experienced players. I can't imagine doing that solo.

Yeah, my friends list is almost exclusively PD2 now because of the need to find competent players with similar goals and expectations. The Hard mask I did mostly by hosting and rounding out the missions. The Very Hard took alittle more work, especially with Go Bank (can't believe we made it after we failed stealth halfway thru opening deposit boxes) and the half-dozen Transport heists.

My advice is the following... don't pick a crew for your missions, but pick missions your crew is best for and know the achievements you want. I'm working on the Overkill Mask, and if I get a good set of loud people, I know which missions I want. Some guys really good at stealth, let's knock out Overkill Banks.

Second, make friends, and post on the forums when you need some experts.

Well I solo'd Election Day and it still didn't update.
