Daily Challenge not possible to be completed

So, this is the second time the following happened:

One of the daily challenges asked me to kill 8 “Harvesters”, but none of the areas were controlled by the Harvesters faction.

The bounties offered the “Forest for the Trees” bounty in Marine woods, which spawns 2 big Harvester mobs (which oddly enough accounted for 3 kills), but there where no other harvesters to be found on the entire realm. I checked all the areas including the individual instances - not a single harvester anywhere. Later on a helpful player on discord suggested to just kill 1 of the bounty mobs, die and repeat until challenge is completed. Sadly it was too late for me and that surely can’t be the intention.

Does the area control change during one day? I periodically checked back, but the controlling factions seemed to stay consistent throughout the day.

I know that you can do Crucible runs for targets like Prisoners or Giants, but not in the case of Harvesters. Maybe that will change with full release and the inclusion of other areas and crucibles.

But at least then, if not sooner, please make sure that all the challenges and bounties have enough valid targets to be completed. The reward of the challenge was something i highly coveted and it just felt frustrating, to check the whole map several times today just to not find the required targets anywhere.

From what I remember these daily/ weekly are going to get another re-work.

Hm it definitely should be. Maybe only if you unfold a certain percentage of the map, a faction change will be set in motion?

This would need more testing.

There seems to be going something wrong if you have both of those bounties active, according to your experience.

I will keep this topic open so it can be potentially made more clear in future, thanks for making the effort to write about it here MrTrials!

I did a full pestilence run of the Lowland Meadows - the Harvesters natural habitat - i thought that might help, but afterwards the controlling factions were boarskins and knights of tanth, just like before. Even checked every nook and cranny of the lumbermill, no luck.

Thanks for the reply Silas, like I said, this was the second time this happened (specifically with the harvesters) I’ll report back if it happens again.

That has no bearing :wink:.

The story has preset factions for when you discover maps for the first time but that’s it.

That’s what I meant. Sorry if that was confusing, I do feel like they pop up there first and foremost. I have - for instance - never seen the harvesters control shallows, Mariners keep, orban blades or the nameless pass. Aside from the bounties.
