Apparently you CAN (now?) fail Miner (Elite)

I have run this so many times cranking out temp marks and have NEVER been in a group that experienced a fail.
I just experienced it. How does this happen? The gorn can't die.
No one even ever experiences injuries in this, which I pointed out elsewhere (just a zerg fest with no fail; please fix the hacking Romulans that run over/through the walls to get to the fed miners!).

    MINE fails when all Fed or all Gorn miners die. Or when time runs out for the Gorn who shuts down the drill.
    Gorn who kick down the gates can't die, however Gorn miners who you have to save, can.
    please fix the hacking Romulans that run over/through the walls to get to the fed miners!).
    Hahahaha, thanks for making my day. :D
    Running through doesn't sound right, but running/jumping over the walls or around them to kill fed miners is totally WAI.

    Sorry to hear so. I think that one only fails when all miners at the start are dead or you lost all the Gorn on the way to the camp?

    Personally I’m not sure if harder fails there would be cool or not.

    I don’t mind challenges however I despise barren PvE queues. The terran ground queue is not played by anybody while everybody jumps for miners.

    I'm happy for as long as I at least get to play.

    The fact that the mark rewards increase depending how well your team does is quiet a motivating factor.

    I think cryptic did really well with Miners.

    I failed this one time too. The gorn guys you rescue on the way to the enemy base didn't disappear. So they walked nice and slowly into lots of enemy fire until they died and we lost.

    The only times when the mission failed for me is at end when the gorn miner was shutting down the drill.

    Having said that, there were two when the mission failed for no apparent reason... at least to me. Because:

    #1 - I followed the Gorn to heal him (Sci captain), or I place cover shield and medical generator to heal the Gorn (Eng captain). When the mission failed the Gorn still had some health; I would say at least 25% health.

    #2 - There was still time on clock.

    Are people playing this on elite regularly? Say less than a 3 minute wait?

    I just don't understand the mentality of why people expect Elite missions to be easily PUGable. Elite missions should pose a challenge that is best met with a pre-made team requiring proper teamwork.

    It's the mentality of the friendless (yet awesome) loser such as myself who relies on pug exclusively.

    Honestly, on elite if you guys just wander off, leave the complex and let the Gorn dude do his drill business, the nakul will leave him alone as he saunters around doing his thing. When he's done go back in and finish up.

    sometimes it can happen, tho its best to use dps channels if public has too long wait time

    I suppose it depends on the time and day. Getting home after work I would say that I can usually play this mission within 6 minutes of queuing up. On the weekends I believe within 3 minutes is possible. However, there seems to be a somewhat recent drop off in activity for this mission.

    I've never experienced a fail in mine elite, but then again with my main I can pretty much handle one side of the camp and one of the paths solo.

    The bug that sometimes hit regardless of difficulty where the Gorn Engineer gets stuck will make you fail as time runs out on Elite.

    wow, great mission on elite. i got in in less than a minute. very good rewards. oddly, it seemed the same difficulty as normal and advanced, though the drill shutdown took 4 minutes.

    Yeah I managed to hook the Gorn on a Cover Shield one time and he decided to never move again :'(

    I've also seen Caitians/Ferasians jumping the walls and opening gates from the other side .

    I remember seeing this once but I don't remember if it was this instance.

    We were fighting at the drill camp, and then suddenly lost. I have no idea why. It has been so routine that I considered it just easy do to the zerg fest.

    Really? Then here is one reason why this mission seriously needs work.

    Yeah - I failed it the other day on elite and didn't really realize what had happened because I was busy killing stuff. Oh well...

    I've never failed it on Elite, so either I don't run it all that often or I've gotten really lucky with the queues not having a bunch of windowlickers in them.

    Of course, now that I've mentioned this, I'm likely going to fail it now. :p​​
