Sooo I hate doing anything below gold. It always feels like a big waste of time. Enemies just are to easy to kill with Variant N7 weapons. So in an attempt to pass the time and score some mission funds. I joined a random silver game for the "silver waves challenge" of the day. Played about 1 wave, and quit. This shyt is stupid. But, for some weird reason, I had 7/14 waves completed.... Now, I'm usually half way into the game and half way into thinking if bacon encrusted mac & cheese is a good side, but I KNOW FOR A FACT I haven't played a full 7 waves of silver this month! But... for sure I had 7/14.... Meh... So, after a few golds and another "dry spell" of finding a game, I try again, ...... and once again, no, can't tolerate silver. Played 1 wave and left. After getting a quick bite, I check my mission funds, and for some reason they seems a little bit higher than normal. Check my daily challenges.... "*DAILY*-SILVER WAVES 14/14"  Now maybe I'm late to the party, but has anyone else noticed this today, or before today? Cause I sure as hell haven't known for the past at least half year I only had to play 1 wave of silver/bronze and leave to get full credit.... |

Now that you mention it: I've recently begun playing and was amazed a few times at how fast I got certain Challenges done but never amazed enough to check. I will keep an eye out and check in-game...

Yup, please double check! I am sure that 1 wave didn't count as more before because previously I had joined in-game matches and the counter only showed the amount of waves I had actually played so they had to be grinded. So this has to be a new "feature" if it's right. Of course, even 1 wave is 1 wave too much for me these days, it requires that I actually turn on the game...  But I am still interested to know. |

Now maybe I'm late to the party, but has anyone else noticed this today, or before today? Cause I sure as hell haven't known for the past at least half year I only had to play 1 wave of silver/bronze and leave to get full credit.... Yep, you're late to the party. It's been like this for a long time now. If I had to guess, this was either there at launch or it was introduced when they modified the consumables being removed from your inventory randomly between wave 3, 4 or 5. I'm not sure about the credits, but the mission funds are awarded as long as the match you joined (and then left) has successful extraction. Why? Well, I'm pretty sure it's the consequences of 2 systems getting in the way of each other. [ 1 ] Because ME3MP had many problems with disconnections and players losing everything (credits, XP, challenges, consumables), they made sure in MEAMP the players would be rewarded for their efforts. To do so, they need to keep tab on you somehow so they can award you your fair share of XP and credits at extraction (or failure). [ 2 ] XP, credits and challenges are calculated according to what you did in game and when you join/left the match. But, I'm guessing the daily challenges aren't calculated the same way and they're awarded to all the players that played in the match, not necessarily the ones left at extraction (or failure). Or they forgot to take into account when you leave the match into the daily challenges "fair" share calculations... In any case, it's been "free" mission funds and waves for a long time now  |

If I play at all these days, I'll do mainly the the daily challenges and Apex missions (heck, even if bronze), mostly hosting (game will make me host anyway, so .... ) and starting solo. Now I will have to contend with people dropping in and out?! Almost glad the forum is dead 'cause I hope not too many people read this  |

Sad what "Bioware" did to Mass Effect and the community. Forum really is dead and it used to be bumpin pretty good....especially before they told their fans to fuck off and closed their own forums. Will be interesting to see what happens to the rest of Bioware after Anthem doesn't perform. |

Sooooo, not only does map, difficulty waves work, KETT (which means enemy) also works...
At the moment seems like as long as you play a daily mission for at least 1 wave (and its completed by the team you left) you'll get full credit.

The DAMP shitstorm was the gift that kept on giving and then to add to top of that was just how simple people were to troll there (bsn). I know people have mixed opinions about Penguin, but it was pretty epic when he got banned for telling the truth as well. Drasca face tanking the whole forum. The teabagging thread was great too. The ME:A section had some gems for sure as did the ME3MP, but for consistency and total content I have the say the DAMP section was the best forum on that site. |
