How to unlock the Battle In Your Sleep achievement in DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE - Definitive Guide
This may be a result of the patch the developers released on 3/10/15. I recorded myself getting multiple auto patrols around 3:00 a.m. Eastern using this method, which I have included below. I went into both single and multi lobby and did so several times.
If anyone starts getting auto patrols and the achievement, please let me know your experience and I'll update accordingly.
To sum it up, this achievement seems to be entirely random. I've tried to get it to work and it seems to have a mind of its own.
Update 2/25/15: The method is still the same, but I've found that auto-patrols pop up randomly. Sometimes you will get them, and other times you won't. The key is to quit and restart until you have all seven.
Update 2/26/15: It also turns out that you can get these while in single lobby, I got several that way.
1. Hit "Game Start."
2. Choose your character and pick "multi lobby."
3. Once there, collect the rewards.
4. Quit to the main menu.
Rinse and repeat as many times as it takes to get all seven.
Needed 2 auto patrols for the past month or so
Tried the method today and worked each time. Hope this helps
After you have played online with one of your characters for a while (single or multi), your character may appear in other players' online sessions as NPCs while you are offline. They can either appear in single lobbies to recruit in a team for battles and parallel quests, or appear in parallel quests as time patrollers in training.
The next time you log on to the server with that same character and other players have used/fought him/her, you will be briefed on what battles and parallel quests they have been in with/against other players and earn experience points, money and items from them.
You earn this achievement as soon as you log on with this character and they have participated in 7 patrols.
Auto patrols are conducted while you are logged out of the game, however you can very easily get all 7 auto patrols by ending game, logging back in and collecting an auto patrol, then logging out again. Repeat that process up to 7 times for this achievement to unlock.
This trophy has become much easier to obtain with update Version 1.02, which improved online functionality greatly. As for this trophy, you need to have completed 7 Auto-Patrols. Now an Auto-Patrol is when your character is playing while you're offline. Confused? Yes, well to make it much simpler these Auto-Patrols are the people you fight while farming the Dragon Balls or while playing 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 online but have a CPU fill in the missing player. These characters are all Auto-Patrols and while you're not playing game, you're character's data is received by another player and they have fought against you or you were their CPU fill-in player. Another way is by real life players adding you to their favorites then making a team with your character along in it.
With that information out of the way, you'll be glad to know that you can farm this trophy easily now just by playing the game online. You can do anything such as random PQs, fighting other players online, or making teams yourself and playing with those party members. Once you've done so, all you need to do is simply "End the game" and return back to the main game menu, then re-log back into the lobby. You'll get an Auto-Patrol message like this:
Keep backing out and logging back in the lobby until you stop getting these messages or unlocked the trophy. If you don't get a message, you need to fight online, or do some PQs either offline or online. It doesn't really matter which you do to be honest.
