55,000 Cr + 25% = 68,750 Cr / 11 Waves = 6,250 Cr/wave 55,000 Cr / 7 Waves= 7,857 Cr/wave Not worth it. Or... if base Gold is really way easy, you already have a decent manifest and you're looking for a new challenge... totally worth it! Agreed 100% . Apparently "fun" isn't a concern on whether an apex mission should be played or not in a video game... it's all about earning fake monies at the fastest rate possible.....

It is just stupid that it gives less credits per wave compared to standard gold missions. They should have given a higher payout per wave since it is more difficult than standard gold games, but instead they give less (another stupid design decision by Bioware team). It is hard to me to understand why they can miss the most obvious things. It`s really a simple logic. They can pretend like they care... but nothing can make them really care... Sad.. but that`s how it is...

11 waves with the possibility of Kett upload BS? that's living on the edge. And "Go for the eyes" is meh honestly, also it technically rewards you less per wave than a normal game? Ehhhhhhhh... Night map is cool and all, but I don't know if it's worth.

The game is designed based on that despite this very Apex mission is opposing this idea.

Just to make the devs feel bad someone should solo this. Not me, of course. I'm a little too scrubby to solo gold in MEA. Knowing that there is no uploads, it makes it possible.

Jumped into this with an absolutely sorry bunch. About 6-8 deaths very early into wave 1 before the host quit. The new PUG that joinedwas decent, and we duo'd the first 3 waves while the original 2 PUGs camped somewhere. The new PUG then bled out on wave 3 with two pizzas left (he got one of them I believe). The final one was next to the camping PUGs, and they just stared at it. For some insane reason, I helped finish the wave prior to quitting. That was going to be a long night, and I don't have the patience for that shit.

This was not worth the effort. Payout should be much higher considering the time it took. This was a PUG nightmare. Teamwork is REQUIRED !

Yeah I'm not wasting my time on this, 24+ minute games for a whole 13K more than we normally get for playing your average 15-16 minute Gold match, I don't think so.
Even the experience gain isn't that great, basically just double what your average Gold match is and it takes almost twice as long to complete.

Tried it again, and got a laggy mess with fucked up frame rates. DesertPlanet65 dropped into the game after one of the original players dropped/glitched out. I got sync'd on wave 6 after I was at least 2 seconds away from the spot I got sync'd on. I then got downed the wave after I believe, and wasn't interested in wasting any more of my resources. Another of the original players then dropped/glitched out at some point before I froze on wave 9. Joy. I don't know what the daytime version of this clusterfuck looks like, but this nighttime variant hurts my eyes. I'd rather not see this shit in regular rotation. Complete waste of fucking time. Edit - The game must've finished a while ago, and I didn't get any fucking credits. Fan-fucking-tastic.

The mission info needs to state that it is 11 waves and harder than normal Gold.
I have tried twice, made it to wave 6 on second team. I don't have time to set around for hours HOPING I get a group that can complete it, because 11 rounds is a bit ridiculous and the enemies start getting overwhelming even at round 6 do to the hardness being uppped.

'Go for the Eyes' is a bad pick. A very bad one. Headshots don't work reliably off-host, something which has been discussed on this thread. The video is evidence that 60% of headshots aren't registered while playing on a same-region host. One can expect cross-region hosts to be significantly worse. Bioware has to get the headshot issue fixed before insisting in giving us this modifier which simply buffs the hosts (as if the hosts needed that) by 200% and gimps the other 3 players by 50%.

25 minute game for 68k. Fun and intense though, but if you're credit farming, stick with the regular games. You can finish 2 zero games in 25 mins and earn more credits.

For shits and giggles you could go through today's Twitch stream from the streamers' points of view and see how many of their headshots are registering, then alert Bioware of your findings.

They currently don't allow cross region pug games. APAC playrrs can't connect to US/UK hosts anymore after 1.06. APAC region is almost dead. Agreed on the urgency of fixing offhost headshot issues.

They do, and I end up on a cross-region host 100% of the time when I search for lobbies. But I assume that is because my region (Brazil) is pretty dead. Connection-wise, 2/4 bars are the norm for me.
