Bank Mish Glitch?

I've noticed some strange timing issues myself. Did the AP safeguard a few nights ago on my new blapper, and I entered the bank door to see the Villain in the entry vestibule and headed for the vault. Tagged him, fought him and ate carpet (solo blaster, level 8, go figure I got steamrolled), hosp'ed and ran back and got back into the bank before the villain had managed to break into the vault. Got 'rolled again, so I ran to the getaway truck and waited ... and waited ... and waited. I must've waited there about 5 minutes. Finally the villain shows up by himself, and I laid him out quick. And I waited ... and waited. Then one Vahz minion comes running up, and I smoked him. And I waited... Last minion finally shows up to take it on the chin, and I got the 'mission complete'.
Anyway, I wasn't aware you could catch them coming into the bank like that.
i know theres other bugs with the mayhem mishs too where the hero shows up with some longbow but after you finish all them off, then you didnt complete because a huge herd of the flying longbow are flying 100 ft in the air above the bank
Oh I just had this happen to me last week too. I duo with a friend and we cleared the map of Police and Longow ambushes, did all the sides and then headed into the bank. The wierd part was even heard the Hero in NPC chat threaten us.. the the doors to the elevator opened and only the Police Ambush showed up. We actually went and seacrhed the bank and then the map beut couldn't find the hero so we could get a mission complete. Fortunately we are the same level and always get 2 banks back-to-back so we just did it again with her mission and everything was fine the second time. I figure the hero got stuck in a wall or something and we were down to a few minutes left so knew a petition was useless.

Oh yeah Tyrrano although I haven't done it at low levels when I hit the 30s and start getting the Brickstown bank mission I have quite often managed to get to the bank fast enough to catch the signature villain just as he or she enters and take them out. I've even been on a few 8 man teams that found themselves battling the AV as soon as we stepped inside the bank.

Off topic, does running -1/+8 still spawn bosses?

Well, the past few times I've ran this mish, it seems the Hero never showed up. I would eventually head to the lower floor and still no Hero. It seems weird that I have to go out and "find" this Hero versus them coming to me. So on the last Bank Heist I did, I did all the other task as I couldn't find the Hero nor did they come to meet me. My time was running out and I had about 30 seconds left then the Hero showed up. Needless to say, it was too late to take him out in 15 seconds so I failed that mish. So, has anyone else ran into this issue? For giggles I did run this at the normal levels +4/+1 to see if maybe it had something to do with me going solo at -1/+8. Nope, the Hero still never showed up near the safe after I stole the cash. I really don't mind doing those bank mish'es but if that Hero never shows up, what are we supposed to do? Anyone else experience this? |

I thought it was standard practice to fly around outside a bit and then duck into the lobby anyway and wait for your new chums to come say hi.|

All the above is normal random spawn location behaviour. Unfortunately sometimes the hero in the mayhem gets caught up and you have to go look for it and it can lead to fail.

I guess it's just a function of how quickly you get there. With the new Ninja Run + sprint you can reach the Atlas Park bank in 10-12 seconds, where it used to take 30 or so, or more if you fought on the way.
