I just played a full Gold game with an exp IV and got dashboarded with 4 seconds left on extraction. Got no credits, no experience Were you hosting? The rewards are doled out when the game completes, not when you crash.

This change really cut into my credits. About half my matches are GiPs, if not more, and trying to search for a new lobby gets unfun very fast.

So, I presume you are thinking the "Mission:" line is not below the scoreboard but a part of the scoreboard? No, it's below the scoreboard like I said. What Kenny and I have told you is accurate (based on current testing.) I'll try one last time. Score = The stuff at the top, next to your name. Doesn't matter, means nothing. It doesn't contain the medals but that doesn't effect anything. Experience = The list at the bottom. First is the list of rewards - your received experience is here. You received none in that screenshot because you joined too late - Extraction Wave isn't worth experience in a GIP. Next is your experience breakdown of what you received being applied to your character. This also says zero because your character is at level 20 - You don't get more experience added to your character because there are no levels to which it can be applied. Ok, but the claim I was disputing was this one: The medal scores are no longer included in the final scoreboard in the lobby, even though they are displayed in-game. They final XP is however calculated correctly I *did* have a medal, and some experience in the final scoreboard in the lobby. However, below that, it clearly states that I received 0 xp and 0 credits. If my end of mission result somehow agrees with that summary, ... well ... my guess would be that a different summary would work.

So I got into a gold match (R/R/G) and it was about 2/3 of the way through Wave 1.
I decided to stay, even though I had boosters equipped, just to see how bad the cut would be.
...I got 47k credits for my time.
I'm never doing that again.

Of course, GiP indicator in the lobby is but a bandaid. It will not alleviate frustration of getting less credits no matter which wave you join on, or frustration of trying to find a fresh lobby by leaving and searching,leaving and searching,leaving and searching,leaving and searching,leaving and searching several times in your gaming session.

I hope nobody likes to solo, because I did some tests, and it seems like a gold solo only pays out about 47k now. Did solos pay out the full 55k before? Edit: never mind, see below

I don't understand the shift to this type of credit wave system. Unless they're trying to force us to buy their in-game currency with $$$. They should revert it to the ME:3 system wherein the Objective waves pays of the bulk of the credits plus the extra credit for full extraction. If they are doing this to satisfy the lost credits/consumables from players who disconnects, then they should also know that these same people also benefits from joining Games In Progress and earning full payout. Games now seem to last longer because most of the veteran players don't wanna join mid game and get stiffed with the credit payout relative to the work they put in and consumable they spend. I do hope Bioware fixes this soon as i see a really dwindling player base in PS4 in my side of the globe.

I'm pretty sure this is their grand fix for credit exploiting, but it ends up screwing a hell of a lot more people in the long run now. Strangely similar to fixing ME3's ending because of a leak... That only 5% even knew about

Sure, gips give less money now. But it's still more time-effective than waiting for full teams in the lobby. Except for w7 joins.

so yeah i did 2 full gold matches and only had 98k instead of 100k which i would have had before the patch i am really starting to get mad at bioware because i want arsenal packs but i have to do 3 matches to get what 2 would before and i have to rely on getting randoms that actually aren't morons because i don't have very many friends that play the multiplayer Hit me up sometime. We haven't played together in probably 3-4 years, but you're still on my friends list from playing 3 (I had a different name then). I've got 6-7 friends I play with regularly, so I've almost always got at least two people online. We 3-man Golds about as often as we fill out the team with a PUG, so we often have room. Consider this an open invitation to join if you see me in a party with fewer than 4. Would've invited you when I've seen you on, but didn't know if you'd care to join since it's been so long. He cared enough not to kick you off his friends list But I often feel the same way. I just invite them anyway, cuz they're on my friends list, so I liked them enough to befriend them. And it can be fun catching up.

He means that while the final scoreboard is missing the points from the medals, the experience total you receive at the end isn't. In theory (ignoring the GIP issue) Experience hasn't changed, only the "scoreboard." As to why, I don't think anyone has any idea, but basically the issue is cosmetic - your character's progress isn't being effected by it. Edit: "Score" is next to your name and everyone else's. Does not include the points from medals, but has no effect on anything. "Experience" is at the bottom, and includes everything (as far as we know.) Experience is what matters. Why? Because Bioware did a great patch. They just can't help themselves to not screw up something that was already good.

I might be losing it but I just joined a game in progress (wave 3) and received full credits. Anyone else notice this? I am hoping bioware reversed this change or at least made it like ME3MP.
