We've all been there: cruising along through a story arc, looking for those sweet, sweet merits, and a "Defeat Council General Nancy and guards" comes along.
Tank-stealth to the end, punch Archon Nancy in the face, smack his buddies around, aaaaaaaaaaand....nada.
Start clearing spawns from the boss mob outward, just in case the "and guards" bubble extends a little more aaaaaaaaaand...nada.
Reread the mission text: Ope, no mention of a "make sure you arrest everyone in the area," or "leave no witnesses"? Surely it's not a stealth kill-all, right?
IT IS! And there's no way to know unless you do it, and your dumb ass is set to +4x8 because you're narcissistic.
OR BETTER YET
You have to rescue five separate hostages on a six-floor office map, and NOWHERE IN ANY OF THE MISSION TEXT OR DESCRIPTIONS IS THERE A SINGLE MENTION OF HOSTAGES!
Let's start a list of missions we *know* are borked like this, and I don't know if the solution is to just add in some text, or change the mission success parameters, or what...but not everybody reads or trusts the wiki, not every mission is even included in it, so let's pool our frustration and knock out a pretty major QoL issue, yeah?
I'll begin:
Hero Contact: Crimson
Story Arc: World Wide Red
Mission: Catch the shape-shifter 'Moment'
Stated Objective in Navigator: Defeat Moment and guards
Actual completion objective: Defeat all mobs on map (Maybe? I didn't finish until I had cleared all but the last hostage mob, so can't confirm); rescue 5 non-escort hostages
Suggested fix: Change mission text and Navigator objective to reflect either kill-all or 5 hostages to rescue, *or* change mission complete objective to reflect existing "defeat boss and guards" text
