Syndicate Extra Standing Reduced?

Recommended Posts

I play most days in support of my 3 syndicates, usually 4 or 5 of the syndicate missions maxes out my extra standing, however since the last patch on the PS4, I'm about 10k standing off after doing all 9 syndicate missions these past couple of days.  Has there been some sort of invisible nerf? despite the fact it should be 15% of earned Xp.

I'm kinda lost because of this "extra standing" thing. Just so we are on the same page, I'll make quick run down about getting Syndicate standings:

  • Daily Standing is earned via Affinity conversion from Syndicate Sigils
  • Extra standings that bypass the daily standing cap are from Syndicate Medallions and Syndicate missions

Regarding the last part (especially the mission), I have no idea what you mean by

I know no such thing as "maxing out extra standings". So am I missing something or we calling one concept two different names?

When you look at your syndicates in the orbiter it shows a counter saying 'extra standing' (can't remember the exact wording.  Wearing the chosen syndicates emblem contributes to this (I'm wearing the Suda Oracle one for 15%), so I believe it is what you refer to as Daily Standing 🙂

Nah, been 26 for a while 🙂 

im not too sure then, the only thing i can think of is that maybe the past few days have just had missions that dont award as much affinity?


Otherwise:

  • make sure you still have your max rank sigil equipped
  • have you changed your habits recently? maybe you were completing non-syndicate missions first and earning a little standing before starting the syndicate missions?
  • maybe they have just been providing lower xp missions/enemies (i think infested reward less xp than the others, for instance)

Not really, for a while I've just logged in and done the syndicates for the standing to buy relic packs then I log off. 

The XP rewards look pretty much what they always did.

Like I said, nearly every day for probably 2 months I'd log in, play my syndicates (maxing out my extra standing after the 4/5th syndicate mission), but these past 2 days, all 9 syndicate missions plus the sortie still left my about 10k short, which is quite noticable.

Huh, never notice the name changed to 'extra standing'.

Regarding your OP, it's possible for a bug to exist but the only way to definitively prove that would be to accurately calculate:

  • Syndicate standings rewarded from the mission itself
  • Syndicate standing from affinity gained
  • Add both of them up and make sure it equals to the end-of-mission stats.

Other factors to consider is if:

  • you/teammate killed less than usual
  • an "affinity booster" was applied/expired and you didn't notice it

Luckily I only ever run syndicates solol, soI should be able to make notes from that 🙂

Thanks

If you mean reached max level, then that would be Suda, Arbiters and Steel Meridian (though I think I did max Red Veil at some point too). I only ever assist those 3 so as not to effect the 'side' I chose 🙂
