Expedition Mission - Erda saturation not working

Bug type: Gameplay
Brief bug summary: I'm supposed to hunt 300 monsters after firing the cannon in "End of the World" map. After firing the cannon, the counter resets from 100% to 0%, and nothing happens. This happened when I was alone on the map, and with 1 Kanna there too. I charged the cannons like 20-30 times since the start of the event, but none of them work....

Steps to reproduce:
Get "Expedition Mission - Erda saturation" mission
Go into "End of the World" map, hunt monsters until Light of Annihilation
Hunt monsters and charge cannons until the cannons are 100%
The cannon automatically fires, but nothing happens.

Character name: VVurstchen
Character level: 217
Character job: Night Lord
World name: Broa
Date and time of the incident: Never worked since the start of the event :<

    The cannons don't always damage the Giant. Ideally you're supposed to work with others to continuously fire the cannons; with enough people, the cannons fire almost constantly.

    If you cannot find anyone to help, my best advice is to just ignore this mission. Complete the other two, then use the special missions, the Sea Battle minigame, and regular grinding to fill the gauge further.

    It does not take just one cannon blast to enable Erda Saturation. It takes multiple attempts, and not all of them are successful either. You can get lucky and have the first one work, but it isn't very likely to actually work. Go to channel 1/room 1 on your server, and there should be a bunch of people in the map. The more people in the map, the more Erda Saturation is likely to happen.
