I'm finally getting back into swamp a bit, and more and more I'm wishing we had longer missions. Not that we'd have to find more crates, but that there was some kind of mission that would take over half an hour to do instead of five to ten minutes. I'm not sure how this would work; 150 crates

Hi, It sounds like you are asking for different missions, but that take longer and with more of a story line then correct? Because currently the missions can go either quite quickly or relatively long. it just depends on how many you have join, and how good those people are. I have heard of
