heist?? what is wrong with them??

My game is in french, so I'm not sure which one you're talking about.

I agree that some are more difficult than other. Which shouldn't be. But random factor plays a role in everyone of them, and can make all of them impossible to complete.

Look at the way you are approaching it. They become super easy when you figure something out. I don't want to give it away.

There is a way to do the heist and always have 2-4 minutes to spare.

If there's something you know, share it. Put it in a spoiler tag for people that may want to figure it out themselves. But to just keep sitting there saying "there's a way to do it, but I'm not telling!!" is a little frustrating.

first few days it was perfect, wasn't too hard.. with some careful planning it is totally doable.. now? it seem rather impossible. i went to deadhallow hall today..and every patrol have the "circle".. and they almost never leave the doorway.. there is just no way to do it in seven minute without been spotted!

can you imagine to have 6 "circle" in a same small room?? i hope am not the only one...

There is a way.And it's easy. wait until one moves away from the other,then move in that tiny space. Oh,and ignore the timer.

Many people forget that successfully sneaking past a guard can also be done with clever line-of-sight tricks... stand behind some rocks or up against the back of a pillar. Other times, the situation may call for a more brutish approach... as others have said, you just need to wait until the guard's back is turned and sprint through their circle.

The one I did today on my night-blade had no circles whatsoever, so it was easy mode and i did it undetected in 2 mins. That's great mind you, but I wouldn't mind there being some consistency!

I did Deadhollow Halls yesterday and for the one guard on the right side that was the only way I was able to complete the heist within time. I tried a few times avoiding that doorway and going around but even with a near-perfect run ran out of time.

Unfortunately, running behind the NPC through his circle is tricky and I was caught a few times. You have to do it quickly and make sure not to get caught up on scenery or have other NPCs nearby facing you.

In party this is not work. We tried two player, one went to left, two went to right, but when one has 1/3 two 0/3 it doesn't count only if we in range, but then this is a solo content no meaning do in group.

Anyone else have this problem? That's incredibly disappointing if so, your team should work like a real team!

Especially as the, annoying to me at least, error message about taking too much time if I engage in combat, says that your Team may not have enough time to complete the challenge. Made me wonder if the Heists were set up for group dynamics. It does not seem that way.

I am sure I will figure out the best path and way after time. That is part of the fun.

However, what I don't like is all the spam messages about how slow I am going if I decide to engage mobs, or the 2 or 3 messages about how I failed the time challenge as the clock goes to 0. I purposely decided to not go for the time challenge the first time through and the constant nagging by the game was a real downer. Then, after all is said and done, the quest giver gets on your case about the time challenge, not once, but twice. Look dude, if your not happy with the way I did it, then do it your self. Let me just say he got an earful from me as I turned in that quest.

I can't wait for the No Thank You addon to update to suppress these messages. Until then, I don't think I am going to do another Heist.

This.

The content is broken. Random boss spawns and random loot positions every time, my chests always relock now too. It's all a matter of luck. some times no boss and good chest and cache position means a run I could do in full armor with no shadowy disguise. And sometimes they put a boss that pats between two lantern pats that will see you no matter what, is hard to kill, and the chest positions are so far, or each one is one where you have to move to the opposite end of the room to climb scafolding ,to get to the complete other side of the room to get the chest, etc. So just keep abandoning the quest until the setup and everything is perfect.
