I just got full credits for joining GIPs (waves 1, 3, and 4). People over on the reddits are reporting this as well. Looks like bioware reverted their change? I sure hope so as I believe it was a definite change for the worse no matter how good their original intentions were. Anyone else seeing this?

It`s something BW needs to be praised about if what you say is right.
Just about 2 days ago it wasn`t the case.
But if you guys say so I believe you.

Although I got full credits for a few games in progress, I'm still somewhat skeptical that bioware reverted this decision. I hope others can confirm that this is in fact true and that I am not just losing my mind.

Oh word? Gonna test this out. It's likely that was a bug, and they fixed it.

Feels more like they fixed it to stop the easiest credit exploit and then backpedaled when they heard the massive backlash against it. I know that plenty of us went out of our way to let them know we'd be leaving any GIP we land in.

The "good" thing to do for their customers would be: - Give full credits when finishing a game no matter on which wave you joined
- Give proportional credits when disconnected or kicked
- Give no credit when you leave by the menu since it was a conscious choice
It ain't that hard to see this is the only good solution, anything else will create angry customers but will fill EA/Bioware pockets more...

It'a a good move. I stopped joining all games in progress. The few I did join were without card power enhancements.

I lost connection in the previous game, and still appear to have been awarded the credits for some waves completed.

Did they also revert boosters not being used up until wave 5 or so?

Doesn't seem easy to separate disconnection from quit: one could just "pull the plug" (e.g., ethernet cord) But, I'd be glad if they go back to full credits if finishing a game, no matter when joined.

That's awesome if they actually reverted the previous change. They finally seem to be making good changes, I just wish it wasn't almost 3 months after release.

Credit glitchers will rejoice :/ I obviously have no data to support this but it seems likely that legitimate players make up the vast majority. I welcome it for a multitude of reasons, none of them involve credit glitches.

I welcome it for a multitude of reasons, none of them involve credit glitches. I'm trying to figure out how you'd "credit glitch", anyway (outside of using something like Cheat Engine). Join a game early, use no consumables, bail in wave 4-5 when things get more difficult and collect partial payment? Go in and out of lobbies for a couple of hours looking to get in a game that's in wave 6-7? I have occasionally (albeit rarely) landed in a game at waves 5-7, but it isn't because I was especially looking for that.

Where are you guys getting this from?

Not that I used it, I was too scurred of banhammer. I've abused the game enough for XP, didn't want to push my luck.

It shouldn't be too hard to shut that down, if BioWare wanted to put forth the effort. Big "if", apparently.

Regardless of how the credits/XP on disconnect works now, looks like if you play a solo and lose connection, you get nothing. I needed about 1500 points to finish off the daily challenge so I started a bronze solo. Lost connection after I'd finished the wave 6 objective and got nothing. Just FYI.

That was fun. Completed a full, from the lobby, gold kett game, got 2750 credits.
Because fuck you, that's why? Dunno.
