They're supposed to spawn after you've done Nurnen.
Have you died yet?

I've only stayed in the first area to level up a bit.
I have done the vendetta against me, this is the 'online' one?
Cheers

No, the online ones are like the first games Vendettas. Except anyones vendetta can spawn instead of your own. Mine started spawning before I left Nurnen. Have you conquered the city?

Shortly after I started Act 2, I got a prompt that an Online Vendetta was available. I then looked on the map and found the icon that starts it. It looks like the trophy image. I went to the marker and started the quest.

Your objective is to kill a captain that has killed another player in their game. You don't actually play against another player or see one during the quest, it is purely solo. It is just like taking out any captain in your own game, nothing special needed. Once you defeat the captain, you will unlock this trophy.

To unlock this achievement you need to complete an Online Vendetta. You will start to see these missions on your map once you get to Cirith Ungol and they are randomly chosen. When an Orc kills a player that Orc will then have a Vendetta put out on them and another randomly chosen player can attempt to avenge the player by killing the offending Orc.

Find one of these missions on your map and you will be transported to their world and will have the task of killing the Orc. If you are successful you will get some in-game rewards, loot and the like and this achievement. These missions are worth doing early on for the loot as it can provide you with some decent equipment, gems and money to help you along.

Once you reach Cirith Ungol in Act 1, Online Vendetta missions will start to appear on the map. Make sure you have online notifications switched on the game will notify you that it's available, you can set this in Options > Game Settings > Online Notifications and ticking the box.
Those who have played the previous game will be familiar with this mechanic, they will show up when someone on your friends list or another random player is killed by an orc. A notification will show up in the middle of the screen once a mission is available, complete this mission by killing the captain, avenging the other players death.
You don't need to have anyone on your friends list actively playing the game, they show up almost all of the time whilst playing as long as you are connected to PSN.

From time to time, quests to avenge the death of another player appear on the map. Just activate the task and you will be taken to the player’s map. There you need to kill an orc who killed another player. After this, the in-game rewards and trophy are yours.
If you encounter a difficult enemy, don’t worry, the tasks are random and next time it won’t be so difficult.

Important! Even though the trophy is online, PS+ is NOT NEEDED.

For a long time, Online Vendettas were not displayed on the map, and when I tried to log into the “Network” from the pause menu, “Error connecting to the server” popped up.
The following actions helped me correct this situation:
1. Launch the game and load the latest save.
2. Press the PS button on the gamepad.
3. Go to the settings on the console - Network - Check the Internet connection (Or you can re-establish the Internet connection and the test will take place on its own at the end of the connection).
4. Return to the game and speed up time on any Khedir (fast travel tower).
5. Fast travel to any other Khedir.
After these actions, Online Vendettas began to appear one after another and the network no longer generated an error.
