How to start new DLC campaign?

[Mr.Soda®]

There is nothing after the initial prompt, no transmission, not objective, no jump point...

I'm at year 3127. the advertised Merc and bounty hunter system all works fine - but not a single hint of mission/campaign whatsoever

For me I accepted the initial prompt and it flew me right to the mission immediately after hitting depart, and it began.

It works just like the kestrel lancers. You have a two mission soft opening, then a time delay, and then the rest of the campaign.

You have to accept the transmission, then depart, then do the missions. After the second mission you'll have some 'free time' and then the rest of the mission chain starts up.

It works on existing saves right?

seems it starts in 3031 from other posts

There is a mod that extends the deadlines so you can side quest all you want without missions expiring, Extended Deadlines

but idk if its updated (well its not, but maybe works) and if it affects dlc4 or not.

Imagine if the clan invasions were in this game, lol.

Im at 3043, i got the message but it says that im far out of the starting year of the campaign that ihave to create anothe game and transter my things etc. I did it but i lose my reputations and completed missions that are a lot. Im not shure if i have to do the same missions again. Also im not shure but i think campaign and career are the same thing :s

Campaing and career is NOT the same thing.

Not working for DLC4, tested, confirmed. Needs updating.

Demagogic comparison, whole clan invasion had a clear year of start, rasalhague things happened as early as 2330 with Kurita invasion of Rasalhague.

Reading that page, they could have placed the rise of rasalhague event as early as 3004.

If anything, it should have a timeline limit of 3030, when that war ended.

i read somewhere that the difference is that the missions are all scattered around instead of starting with the campaign mission on the same location. Also i see that carrer starts o different areas🤔

[MeGa]

Afaik the main story line is not in career, been told so

Oohh. I thought the main campaign missions where are scattered around like other missions🤔. Good to know that. I think ill end the main camapaign and then move to career to start the new RoR missions

Yeah I tried this yesterday and I got access to campaign immediately after.

Lost reputation is okay but It's so annoying that all previous completed missions reset after the save transfer...

I'm not familiar with any MW lore, but I do enjoy to casually blow some mechs up in this game. For me this 'partially reset your 100hr+ progress to play new campaign' is some bizarre design decision
